Brno, Czech Republic – April 15, 2026 — RSA Conference 2026 in San Francisco once again served as a primary gathering point for the global cybersecurity industry. DYNANIC recently participated at this conference to present its latest advancements in network security. The DYNANIC team showcased a live anti-DDoS demo at the Early Stage Expo, highlighting the capabilities of hardware-accelerated protection. By reaching 400G line rates, the solution addresses the increasing demand for high-speed packet inspection and mitigation in modern networks.
The demonstration at booth ESE-68 featured the DYNANIC 400G DDoS protection system in action. This solution provides high-speed hardware acceleration with full software control, ensuring performance without compromise. The demo was powered by Silicom ThunderFjord hardware utilizing Altera® Agilex™ FPGA technology. More information in this video:

Why FPGA-based SmartNICs outperform ASICs in DDoS defense
A primary advantage of the DYNANIC approach is the use of FPGA-based acceleration over traditional ASIC SmartNICs. While ASICs offer low flexibility and long development cycles often exceeding one year, FPGAs allow for immediate adaptation. DYNANIC increases the value of existing hardware over time by simply reprogramming the FPGA on the current card.
This flexibility is critical for cybersecurity applications where threat patterns evolve rapidly. DYNANIC enables customers to deploy networks faster and maintain their effectiveness against new attack vectors without the need for hardware replacement. This approach reduces both CAPEX and e-waste by extending the lifespan of the SmartNIC. You can dive deeper into the ASIC vs. SmartNICs problem in this blog post.
Expert insights from podcast
For those interested in the technical details of FPGA-driven cyber defense, DYNANIC CSO Jan Kořenek and CTO Lukáš Kekely recently joined the SmartNICs Today podcast. The discussion hosted by Scott Schweitzer broke down why FPGA-based acceleration is the superior choice for DDoS mitigation.
The episode covers several critical topics for technical decision-makers:
- The fundamental differences between DDoS and traditional network attacks.
- A comparison between ASICs and FPGAs in high-performance environments.
- The potential for FPGA-driven server replacement to reduce data center footprints.
- Implementing adaptive firmware protection within the era of AI.
The full discussion is available on major platforms including Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Or you can listen to it directly at SmartNICs Today.
