Real-time DDoS protection platform Flowtriq proves sub-second detection can prevent disruption during high-stakes live events.
— The moment the attack began, no one in the virtual room knew. Two hundred forty cybersecurity professionals were deep into a live training session when a 48.3 Gbps multi-vector DDoS attack surged toward the infrastructure powering the event. In most scenarios, this is where connections drop, screens freeze, and trust erodes in seconds. This time, nothing happened. The session continued without interruption. Behind the scenes, Flowtriq had already detected the threat in under one second and neutralized it before anyone noticed.
That moment on March 27, 2026, became a defining proof point for Flowtriq, a Toronto-based cybersecurity startup founded by Jacob Masse. Built for infrastructure operators, Flowtriq is redefining how networks defend against increasingly sophisticated distributed denial-of-service attacks. Its promise is simple but ambitious. Detects threats instantly and stops them automatically without requiring a full security team or enterprise-scale budget.
A Mission Driven By Real Time DDoS Protection
Flowtriq began with a clear frustration. Many infrastructure operators face the same threat landscape as large enterprises but lack the tools to respond effectively. Traditional DDoS mitigation solutions often require extensive setup, deep expertise, and significant cost. Detection alone can take minutes, leaving systems exposed during the most critical window.
Jacob Masse, Founder of Flowtriq, saw this gap firsthand. With more than ten industry certifications, including eCPPT, CySA+, PenTest+, and eWPT, Masse built his career identifying vulnerabilities and understanding how attacks unfold in real time. His discovery of CVE-2024-45163, a CVSS 9.1 critical kill switch vulnerability in the command-and-control infrastructure of the Mirai botnet, one of the most prolific DDoS botnets in history, reinforced his reputation as a researcher with real world impact and technical precision. Masse also previously founded and exited AttackEngine, an anti-DDoS platform that was acquired within one year of launch.
“We built Flowtriq because infrastructure operators deserve sub second detection and automated mitigation without needing a dedicated security team or a six figure contract,” Masse said. “The Lorikeet incident proved that in the most unforgiving environment possible. A live event, a live audience, and an attack that would have taken most platforms minutes to even notice.”
The Lorikeet Incident That Proved Everything
The Lorikeet Security event was not just another attack. It was a high pressure, real world test. As the attack escalated, Flowtriq identified malicious traffic patterns in 0.9 seconds. Within 11 seconds, it deployed BGP FlowSpec mitigation across upstream transit providers. The result was uninterrupted service. Not a single participant disconnected.
This level of response changes expectations. In cybersecurity, delays translate into downtime, financial loss, and reputational damage. Flowtriq compresses that timeline into seconds, effectively eliminating the typical window of exposure.
Simplicity Meets Enterprise Grade Performance
Flowtriq stands out not only for speed but for simplicity. Unlike traditional tools that require extensive configuration, Flowtriq deploys in minutes with a single command. Once active, it continuously monitors traffic and reacts automatically to anomalies.
This design removes operational friction. Infrastructure teams can maintain performance without diverting resources to constant monitoring. For companies without dedicated security teams, this is a critical advantage.
The pricing model reinforces this accessibility. At 9.99 dollars per node per month, Flowtriq delivers enterprise grade real time DDoS protection without the cost barriers typically associated with advanced cybersecurity platforms.
What Makes Flowtriq Different Today
Flowtriq’s core strength lies in its combination of speed, automation, and usability. Sub second detection ensures threats are identified almost instantly. Automated mitigation eliminates the need for manual response. Together, these capabilities create a system that reacts faster than traditional approaches.
At the same time, Flowtriq emphasizes transparency. Technical insights, research contributions, and documented case performance provide verifiable proof of its capabilities. This clarity builds trust in an industry where results matter more than promises. Flowtriq also publishes an annual State of DDoS report combining platform data with public intelligence, available at flowtriq.com/state-of-ddos.
Building Trust Through Proven Results
Trust is the foundation of cybersecurity. Organizations must know their systems will remain operational under pressure. Flowtriq’s performance during the Lorikeet incident demonstrates that real time DDoS protection is not theoretical. It is measurable, repeatable, and effective in real world conditions.
As the digital world grows more complex, the need for reliable protection increases. Flowtriq addresses this need by making advanced defense both accessible and effective. Its approach reflects a broader shift toward automation and real time response as the new standard.
