RED BALLOON SECURITY was founded by Dr. Ang Cui out of Columbia Universityโs Intrusion Detection Systems Lab in 2011 with its pioneering technology, Symbiote Defense. Today, its R&D has expanded to a team of world-class researchers and developers who continue to publish seminal research papers on embedded security and intrusion detection.
