Periodic Reporting for period 1 - DDoS Analyser (Revolutionary Non-Disruptive DDoS Testing Technology that significantly strengthens resistance to DDoS attacks and provides ongoing visibility on identified DDoS mitigation vulnerabilities.)

Reporting period: 2018-06-01 to 2018-11-30

Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is a form of cyber-attack that renders a website, machine or network resource unavailable to its genuine users resulting in (i) downtime and / or (ii) a smokescreen for the introduction of viruses or other malware or to steal customer data. The downtime created by DDoS attacks is devastating for organizations that require reliable, non-stop (24/7) online availability. DDoS attacks are becoming easier to launch and the frequency, size and complexity of these attacks are increasing.

DDoS mitigation solutions have very limited effectiveness because the dynamic systems run by organizations open new vulnerabilities and require continual DDoS testing. Continual DDoS testing has remained unachievable since traditional DDoS testing technologies are themselves disruptive to the tested environments, severely limiting their effectiveness.

MazeBolt has overcome this fundamental challenge by developing DDoS Radar, the first ever Non-Disruptive DDoS testing technology (Patent pending). DDoS Radar continuously runs a wide variety of DDoS attacks, without disrupting the tested environments providing 24/7 real time analysis of identified vulnerabilities. Our technology offers a step change in the level of information and visibility on companies’ DDoS mitigation vulnerabilities, allowing them to continually identify and close gaps in their DDoS defenses.

Work performed from the beginning of the project to the end of the period covered by the report and main results achieved so far

BETA testing has demonstrated that the DDoS Radar reduces the vulnerability gap from an average of 45% to under 2%. Through collaboration with BETA and Early Availability (EA) customers, on both a technical and executive level, and with coaching from a respected marketing executive who specializes in the enterprise realm, MazeBolt has conducted an assessment of the feasibility of aligning our business plan to the commercialization of the DDoS Radar. Furthermore, MazeBolt have recruited a leading industry executive to its advisory board who has assisted in developing a realistic business planning for the next 3 years, including specific Sales and Marketing, Technical and Commercialization plans.

Progress beyond the state of the art and expected potential impact (including the socio-economic impact and the wider societal implications of the project so far)

Our strengthened definition of technical requirements, updated pricing model, contractual agreement, financial forecasting, marketing strategy and roadmap provide a strong go market plan for the DDoS Radar. This report highlights the unique and enormous contribution that our innovative product will make on a market in need of a new approach to tackle the DDoS disaster.
