It's Not Another Feed.
Threat intel that costs six figures, comes in a PDF, and updates monthly isn't intelligence. It's homework. Applied Threat Intelligence is the version that does the actual job. Decisions, not data. Blocked events, not feeds. Reputation-based. Bi-directional. Owned by Intrusion since 2001. Built for people who'd rather block the threat than read about it.
8.5 billion IP and DNS combinations. 25 years of internet history. One decision engine. No alerts. No quarterly reports about how busy your SOC was.
Traditional vs Applied Threat Intelligence.
Same destination. Very different route. One actually gets you there.
| Applied Threat Intelligence | Traditional Threat Intelligence | |
|---|---|---|
| Implementation | Fast and easy.Minimal experience to install. Short time to value. | Lengthy and expensive.Requires specialized staff trained to monitor, analyze, and interpret feeds. |
| Ease of Management | Simple and automated.The Global Threat Engine recognizes and blocks threats. No alerts generated. | Labor-intensive.Manual work and continuous validation required to use intelligence effectively. |
| Integration | Already integrated.Built into every Shield enforcement platform. No restructuring of existing infrastructure required. | Varies with vendors.Integration into SIEM, IDS/IPS, and firewalls depends on vendor capabilities. |
| Enforcement Model | Block at the connection.Threats blocked at the connection layer, in-line and bi-directionally, before they complete. Prevention-first. | Detect and respond.Threats detected after the fact and routed to a team or another tool for response. |
| Network Visibility | Full inspection. Real-time.Every connection inspected. Both directions. No sampling. No baselining. | Not network-specific.Feeds aren't contextualized to your environment. Manual correlation required. |
| Alerts | None.Blocked events logged. Export to CSV or Excel for review. No alerts to triage. | Constant stream.Every potential threat generates an alert for manual review. |
| Threat Intelligence Source | The Global Threat Engine.25 years of IP and DNS reputation. 8.5 billion combinations. Built by Intrusion since 2001. | Mixed feed quality.Feeds vary in accuracy and freshness. Curation requires expensive TIP tooling. |

Three things Applied Threat Intelligence does that everyone else can't, won't, or charges you triple for.
Block High-Risk Connections With Minimal Effort.
Suspicious connections get blocked at the connection layer. In real time. No tuning, no baselining, no 90-day learning phase. The Global Threat Engine made the decision 20 years ago. Shield just enforces it.
See Every Connection. Block the Bad Ones.
Every connection inspected. Both directions. Inbound. Outbound. No sampling. No 'representative traffic.' No 'we caught most of it.' Trusted or blocked. That's the menu.
Integrate Without the Headache.
Built into every Shield enforcement platform. Plays nice with the rest of your stack: SIEM, SOAR, EDR, NDR. No rip-and-replace. No 18-month implementation. Value on day one. Or day zero if you book the demo today.
Get Applied Threat Intelligence Working for You.
Three Shield platforms. Three places to deploy. One decision engine. Pick where your bad traffic is and we'll meet it there.
Shield OnPremise
10 Gbps hardware appliance for the data center and OT environments. Bi-directional enforcement at the connection layer. Observe Mode available.
Learn More →Shield Stratus
Cloud-native enforcement for AWS and Azure workloads. GA on AWS and Azure Marketplace. 1 Gbps and up. GCP on the roadmap.
Learn More →Shield Endpoint
