We provide cyber security threat detection solutions: Red Lambda, Inc.

The Internet continues to fuel incredible technology advances but, at the same time, it is a conduit that can threaten the security and existence of its users. The fact is, nefarious individuals, organizations, and state sponsored actors are responsible for an ever-expanding number of increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks that often have devastating consequences. Today, more than ever before, advanced cybersecurity has become a vital requirement to protect the data and infrastructure of governments, financial institutions, military suppliers, healthcare systems, and businesses across all industries.

For Red Lambda, providing advanced endpoint protection technology that safe guards the data assets of government entities and commercial enterprises from cyber attack is more than a job. It’s a mission.

Red Lambda’s patented; “in motion” advanced endpoint protection technology, called MetaGrid, can rapidly and accurately detect and prioritize threat behaviors within the network without dependence on threat signatures. With so much at stake—our privacy, our prosperity, our safety, even our freedom—it’s time to raise the bar on cybersecurity solution capabilities and Red Lambda’s MetaGrid software does just that…and more.

The MetaGrid platform was first developed as a peer-to-peer application at the University of Florida (UF) to combat illegal file sharing on the network, which was creating costly legal challenges, computer viruses, hacking, and latency issues for the university.

In 2010, Bahram Yusefzadeh, Red Lambda’s Executive Chairman, recognized the platform’s applicability in addressing cybersecurity challenges. Leveraging a National Science Foundation grant, Red Lambda developed the advanced anomaly detection algorithm that became the foundation for the MetaGrid of today. After building upon MetaGrid’s initial capabilities, MetaGrid 2.0 is now an advanced, next-generation, behavior-based, endpoint protection solution.

MetaGrid addresses the problems faced by Security Operations Center (SOC) operators’ staff by:

  • Rapidly ingesting, analyzing and detecting threat behaviors within the network without dependence on static threat signatures or rules;
  • Scoring and prioritizing these behaviors based upon their potential risks;
  • Notifying Security Operations Center (SOC) staff of threat activities within their network;
  • Supporting the rapid validation and understanding of the infrastructure affected by cyber threats and
  • Enabling SOC operators to identify the root cause of the threat activities

Every business that accomplishes much also encounters significant challenges and Red Lambda is no exception. The initial challenge for Red Lambda was conceptualizing how to decisively address a rapidly growing and dynamic cybersecurity problem. The fact is; cyber threats are evolving faster than many of the solutions designed to address the problem. Recognizing this, Red Lambda set out to leverage its innovative network anomaly detection solution and enhance it by adding threat behavior detection and machine learning capabilities to create a solution that is effective against both known (existing) and unknown (zero-day) threats while solving a myriad of complex, interrelated problems experienced by SOC operators today.

This solution approach required a keen understanding of SOC operator problems, cyber threats, and their effects within the network. The Company immediately recognized the need for new and innovative ways to identify threat behaviors within the network — made possible by a myriad of new technologies for rapidly ingesting, analyzing, and visualizing vast amounts of network security data.

While Red Lambda concentrates on solution innovation, it also focuses on employee growth and development. Red Lambda recognizes that training and financial opportunities are important to employee development and that these are not the only components of professional development. In addition, the company believes professional development also stems from the process of creating something innovative and new — something that requires personal commitment, innovation, and sometimes failure, before achieving success.

Cybersecurity is a critical global issue and Red Lambda views its responsibility and contribution to be much more than just solving cyber-related problems for SOC operators, companies, or government entities. The company sees cyber security as an issue that has implications for all countries and people of the world. For everyone at Red Lambda, work is about safeguarding people, companies, and governments from individuals, organizations, and state-sponsored actors who are committed to destroying what people have worked so hard to achieve.

The company proudly says, “We are dedicated to innovation that prevents the far-reaching and often devastating effects that cyber attacks can have on our individual, business, and national security.”

In Q1 of 2018, Red Lambda will release a new version of its award-winning cybersecurity solution, MetaGrid. With stream time detection of anomalies, signature independent threat behavior identification, incident scoring and prioritization, and new incident visualizations, the firm expects that MetaGrid will rapidly become the gold standard for identifying and understanding threats and preventing their effects within the network.

Red Lambda envisions its future as a critical provider of intelligent cybersecurity software that adapts to an ever-changing cyber threat environment while, at the same time, adapting to each client’s unique and changing data infrastructure.
