Titan IC Systems Launches Content Inspection Technology
March 2016 by Marc Jacob
Titan IC Systems announced that is has worked closely with Xilinx to optimize its Helios Regular Expression (RegEx) Processor as a licenseable soft Intellectual Property (IP) core for Xilinx FPGAs. The Helios RegEx core addresses serious security problems effecting DDoS mitigation, Intrusion Prevention, and Data Loss Prevention systems.
Providing ever escalating traffic throughput while protecting with complex content inspection, even while under attack, is very difficult. Understanding and interpreting network traffic requires RegEx processing, which is so compute and power intensive that often times it either drags down network throughput or is bypassed leading to breaches.
Titan’s Helios is a specialized RegEx processor, comprised of a highly parallel architecture, capable of executing up to 16,000 simultaneous regex matching tasks by hundreds of custom-purpose engines, optimized for Xilinx FPGA technology. The RXP is tailored to take full advantage of the enormous embedded memory bandwidth and density of the latest Xilinx Ultrasacle FPGA technology, enabling unprecedented RegEx offload capabilities.
