MadMoon Shield Launches Single-Server DDoS Defense Without CDN Reliance
Kamloops-based security firm introduces a deterministic, process-based defense mechanism for small businesses.
1Direct Server-Side Defense
MadMoon Shield operates as a single process directly on the host machine, eliminating the need for CDNs or external proxies. By removing middlemen, the system ensures that traffic is not routed through third-party servers. This approach keeps sensitive data entirely within the client's infrastructure, maintaining full control and ownership of all network traffic.
2Deterministic Security Logic
The protection mechanism relies on pure mathematics rather than black-box models or adversarial machine learning. Every decision made by the Shield process is deterministic and formally verifiable, which prevents common vulnerabilities like model poisoning. This scientific foundation ensures that the defense remains consistent and auditable, providing a transparent alternative to standard commercial security tools.
3Proven Stress Testing
To validate the defense, the team exposed a raw IP address to public traffic, successfully withstanding 342 distinct attacks from 538 unique IP addresses. The system handled peak loads of 20,000 requests per second without experiencing any downtime. This live demonstration serves as a practical benchmark for the software's capability to mitigate high-volume malicious traffic.
4Targeted Consultancy Services
Beyond the Shield product, the firm provides comprehensive cybersecurity consulting for businesses with 5 to 150 employees. Services include vulnerability assessments, controlled penetration testing, and infrastructure design. The consultancy focuses on organizations that require enterprise-grade security rigor but lack the budget for six-figure retainers, offering fixed-price quotes before any project work begins.
5Regulatory Compliance Focus
The firm specializes in helping clients meet PIPEDA and BC PIPA requirements by identifying gaps in data collection and storage practices. They provide clear, jargon-free reports that outline remediation steps for identified vulnerabilities. This service ensures that small and mid-sized businesses can maintain legal compliance while protecting sensitive client information from potential breaches.
6Vendor-Neutral Advisory Model
MadMoon Security operates on a strictly vendor-neutral basis, refusing to resell software licenses or IT products. This independence ensures that all security recommendations are based solely on the specific needs of the client rather than commission-driven incentives. The firm prioritizes honest assessments, explicitly stating they will advise against their services if they are unnecessary.
7Regional Operational Strategy
Based in Kamloops, the firm serves clients across the Thompson-Okanagan and British Columbia, emphasizing in-person meetings when necessary. By focusing on a specific geographic region, they maintain a deep understanding of local business realities and regulatory environments. This localized approach allows for tailored security postures that align with the specific operational constraints of regional firms.
8Accessibility and Pricing
With Shield starting at $29 per month and basic assessments beginning at $500, the firm aims to democratize access to professional security. They offer complimentary initial reviews for Kamloops-based businesses to determine if further intervention is required. This low-barrier entry point supports their mission to provide high-quality, research-backed security to smaller organizations.
