I'll verify A10 Networks' profile with some searches.
A10 Networks, Inc. (NYSE: ATEN) is a publicly traded networking and cybersecurity company headquartered at 2300 Orchard Parkway, San Jose, California. It was incorporated in California in July 2004, reincorporated in Delaware in 2014, and completed its IPO on the NYSE in March 2014. The company reports roughly 480–500 employees and FY2025 revenue of $290.6 million. It is an independent operating company with no parent; Dhrupad Trivedi serves as President, CEO, and Board Chair.
A10 sells secure application- and network-infrastructure products for on-premises, hybrid-cloud, and edge environments. Its infrastructure lines include the Thunder Application Delivery Controller (ADC) load balancer, Thunder Carrier Grade Networking (CGN), Thunder SSL Insight (SSLi), and Thunder Convergent Firewall (CFW). Its security portfolio includes the A10 Defend family (Threat Control, DDoS Detector, DDoS Mitigator, DDoS Orchestrator), the ThreatX Protect web application and API protection platform (acquired in February 2025), and management/analytics tools such as A10 Control, Harmony Controller, and aGalaxy TPS. Solutions ship as hardware appliances, bare-metal, virtualized, containerized, and cloud-native software. Customers are mainly service providers and large enterprises across telecom, technology, financial services, gaming, retail, education, and government; hardware manufacturing is outsourced to ODMs.
A10's tracked litigation posture is that of an operating company defending against patent assertion: 0 cases as plaintiff, 1 as defendant. The sole tracked matter, FireNet Technologies, LLC v. A10 Networks, Inc. (N.D. Cal., Judge Vince Chhabria, filed October 24, 2018), was a willful-infringement suit over four networking patents. It was closed as dismissed-settled in January 2019, and it was filed in the Northern District of California rather than a plaintiff-friendly venue such as the Eastern District of Texas.
External context: the plaintiff, FireNet Technologies, is characterized by Unified Patents as an IP Investments Group affiliate and well-known NPE. It asserted U.S. Patent 8,892,600 (a proxy firewall system) against A10 alongside Kemp Technologies, Fortinet, Citrix, and Fujitsu. In March 2021, the PTAB found all claims of that patent unpatentable in an IPR brought by Unified Patents.
FireNet Technologies, LLC sued A10 Networks, Inc. in the Northern District of California. The case was dismissed as settled and closed on January 22, 2019. The narrative does not expressly identify additional patents asserted in this case.
