My organisation
DynaNIC is a Czech deep-tech startup developing FPGA-based SmartNIC solutions that bring new levels of performance, flexibility, and scalability to modern network infrastructure. Its technology is ready for terabit speeds and empowers data centers and telecom providers to build secure, high-throughput networks.
DynaNIC’s reconfigurable SmartNIC software enables real-time packet inspection, threat detection, and mitigation directly at line rate, combining hardware-level performance with software-level flexibility. Its architecture provides hardware acceleration for core security functions such as DDoS protection, intrusion detection, traffic filtering, and flow analytics, freeing CPU resources for higher-level intelligence and control. Continuous software updates allow the system to evolve with emerging threats without requiring hardware replacement.
By combining FPGA performance with software accessibility, DynaNIC enables security vendors and infrastructure providers to integrate high-performance, real-time protection directly into the network fabric. Its mission is to make scalable cybersecurity a native part of every high-speed network.
