Sensor Architecture: Built for Speed and Scale

Cyber Ninja’s sensors are designed from the ground up for ultra-low-latency, high-throughput environments. Our sensors have been battle tested in high network traffic and high throughput environments where latency and scalability matter the most.
Using the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK), our network and cloud sensors process network packets directly in user space—bypassing traditional kernel bottlenecks. This enables real-time inspection of traffic at millions of packets per second without performance degradation. Whether deployed on-premise or in the cloud, our sensors deliver enterprise-grade packet processing power in a lightweight, easy-to-deploy package.

Traffic Intelligence: Smarter Data, Less Noise

We don’t just collect data—we curate it. Our sensors perform intelligent metadata preprocessing, transforming raw traffic into context-aware insights. Using efficient filtering techniques, we extract, normalize, and enrich metadata from protocols and applications, surfacing only high-signal information for analysis. This reduces alert fatigue, streamlines threat triage, and ensures our deep learning models receive the most relevant input. The result: faster, smarter, and more accurate threat detection with minimal infrastructure overhead.

Forensic Capabilities: Targeted PCAP and Smart Caching

In cybersecurity, context is everything. That’s why Cyber Ninja’s sensors include dynamic packet capture (PCAP) extraction and smart caching algorithms. Instead of dumping endless traffic logs, our system captures only what’s relevant—driven by AI inference, threat signatures, anomaly triggers, and custom rules. Recent traffic is cached intelligently, so your team can retroactively analyze events in full fidelity, without the storage burden of full-time capture. This forensic layer enhances investigations, supports compliance, and gives defenders the clarity they need when every second counts.

Proactive DDoS Awareness

Our sensors monitor traffic patterns continuously to identify DDoS behaviors before they escalate. By analyzing flow metadata at scale, Cyber Ninja flags volumetric anomalies early—helping you respond before your services are impacted.
