Promia

Promia Inc. is a global network security company, with products that utilize the most advanced analytical processes available in security today. The company is highly regarded in the industry for creating innovative products for computer network health, security, and performance management. Headquartered in San Francisco, Promia also maintains offices in Princeton, NJ, Davis, CA, and Linthicum, MD.

Promia offers two major multi-function network appliances that serve both the Security Information Management (SIM) and Network Management and Monitoring (NMM) sectors of the IT security market. Its major products are the Intelligent Agent Security Manager (IASM) and the new Raven UTM (Unified Threat Monitoring) appliance for small networks and distributed sites in larger organizations. Promia’s best-of-breed products are now deployed and operational in global US Navy Network Operating Centers protecting military command and control networks.

Promia’s tools observe all traffic on computer networks, identifying and reacting to malicious behavior, broken equipment, incorrectly operating on this configured software and assure appropriate access to specified information. The U.S. Navy, particularly, the Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), uses Promia’s advanced system capable of detecting Internet attacks from hackers, saboteurs and terrorists in time to prevent substantial damage to U.S. Navy Internet resources. The products have been extensively tested under the most extreme conditions and are in daily operational use in global network operating centers as well as aircraft carriers and other ships around the globe.

Promia has expanded beyond military and government clients and has begun servicing the telecom, healthcare and financial industries. Promia’s sophisticated intrusion detection tools that employ Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques on high speed, high volume network systems has now grabbed the attention of numerous security experts. Based on the company’s past product success, Promia recently contracted with other accounts including the US Army, the Department of Defense (DARPA), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), National Security Agency (NSA), the U.S. Government Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program and the Department of Veteran Affairs.
