Before every cyberattack, there is a stakeout.
A bank robber doesn't walk through the front door on day one. He cases the joint first. He sits in the parking lot. He maps the cameras, counts the guards, studies the schedule, and identifies every exit. Then, and only then, does he make his move.
Cyber attackers work the same way. Before a single file is touched or a single credential is stolen, they spend weeks, sometimes months, on the stakeout. Scanning your network. Mapping your infrastructure. Learning exactly where to hit.
The blind spot is obvious: most security tools are pointed at the vault. Nobody's watching the street outside. By the time an alert fires, the attacker already has the blueprint, and your team is left dealing with noise, drag, and damage control.
Every attack depends on two things: learning the environment, and communicating back out. Shield cuts off both, early. Not after the fact. Before they turn into alerts, escalation, and cleanup. Shield helps teams build context faster by evaluating connections through long-term history, behavior, reputation, and change over time, not just one moment of traffic.
Shield evaluates every connection against 8.5 billion addresses enriched with behavioral, historical, and reputation intelligence, helping teams make faster, higher-confidence decisions on what belongs and what does not. Malicious traffic gets blocked, inbound and outbound, automatically.
Before attackers strike, they scan. Shield helps stop reconnaissance activity the moment it touches your network, cutting off the stakeout before bad actors can map the environment or test the edges.
Compromised endpoints try to phone home. Shield cuts off outbound connections to known malicious infrastructure before the threat can regroup, escalate, or move the attack forward.
Every connection, inbound and outbound, is checked against deep behavioral, historical, and reputation intelligence built over decades of internet memory. Nothing gets a free pass, and your team gets more context with less guesswork. An IP or domain that looked harmless yesterday can turn malicious tomorrow. Shield tracks those changes over time and treats that history as signal, not background noise.
On-prem, cloud, endpoint, data center. Shield protects every environment from one command center, giving teams broader coverage with less fragmentation and less dashboard chaos.
Each member of the team represents a core capability of the Shield platform. Together, they form the most complete prevention-first security system available.
Prevention-first protection native to cloud and AWS environments.
100Gbps decoding and logging at wire speed. Total network visibility.
Hardware appliance that blocks malicious connections at the network edge.
Next-gen firewall integration. Guards the perimeter with full packet inspection.
Your SIEM, EDR, and firewall still matter. Shield strengthens them by reducing what reaches them in the first place, which means less noise, less analyst drag, and fewer preventable threats to chase. Shield is built to strengthen the stack you already have, not force a rip-and-replace decision on day one.
SIEMs catch what gets through. Shield helps reduce what gets through in the first place, leading to fewer events and higher-confidence incidents.
EDR catches what reaches the endpoint. Shield helps stop risky traffic earlier, so fewer threats make it to the endpoint at all.
Firewalls enforce defined rules. Shield adds behavioral, historical, and reputation intelligence to help teams make faster, smarter decisions the moment contact is made.
Most security vendors work from a limited window of history. Shield works from decades of internet memory, continuously tracking IPs, domains, behavior, and change over time, then strengthening that intelligence with machine learning, AI, and external signals to make faster, higher-confidence decisions on what traffic is likely good and what is likely bad.
CEO Tony Scott served as Federal CIO of the United States. He operated at the highest levels of government cybersecurity and built Intrusion to that standard.
Over 40 years defending critical infrastructure. Threat intelligence built in the field, refined against the most persistent adversaries on earth.
One of the deepest battle-tested IP intelligence datasets available to commercial networks, built to remember what others forget and spot patterns others miss.
