The MSSP reality

Client counts are up. Analyst capacity isn't. Margins are getting thin.

Every new tenant means more hours your team can't bill for and more pressure on margins that were already thin. Stacks that require analyst attention to scale don't. Detection-first stacks scale linearly with headcount. That's not a business model anymore. It's a treadmill.

Shield changes the math.
Why MSSPs choose INTRUSION

Three outcomes that move the P&L.

Shield doesn't add to your SOC workload. It subtracts from it, while opening a new revenue line.

Malicious traffic never hits your stack

Malicious traffic is blocked at the network layer before it becomes an incident, backed by proprietary intelligence built since 2001. Your analysts spend less time on noise, more time on client value.

1 SOC
Unlimited tenants

Overhead stays flat as you scale

Multi-tenant by design. One console, clean per-client isolation. Shield runs autonomously, so adding tenants does not require adding analyst headcount, and your cost-to-serve drops every month.

Day 1
Billable service line

Recurring revenue you didn't have

Sell Shield standalone, bundle it with MDR, or lead with prevention to unseat detection-first competitors. Observe-only mode means you can prove value before a client commits.

How it works

Three steps. One clean story you tell your clients.

1

Deploy

Stand up Shield in observe-only mode on cloud, on premise, or both. Map tenants. Confirm visibility. No client disruption.

2

Block

Shield blocks malicious traffic bi-directionally using proprietary threat intelligence. Autonomous. No analyst babysitting.

3

Report & prove

Per-tenant monthly reporting: executive summary, blocked connections, permitted destinations, bandwidth, new hosts on the network.

Questions MSSPs ask first

Straight answers.

No. Shield coexists with your MDR, SIEM, EDR, and firewall layers. Most partners deploy Shield as a prevention layer that blocks malicious traffic before it reaches the rest of their stack. The rest of your stack sees less malicious traffic, so you get more value out of what you already have.
You can start with one tenant in observe-only mode to validate fit before committing to a broader rollout. We structure partner terms to scale with your business. Specifics are covered in the partner application conversation.
Observe-only mode lets you stand up a passive tap and show real traffic data to your client without inline deployment. Billing timing depends on your specific deployment path, which your named partner contact maps out with you. Your named partner contact maps out the specifics based on your ramp.
No agents required for core coverage. Shield operates on network traffic metadata. Observe-only mode runs as a passive tap with no inline changes to client environments. You can deploy without scheduling maintenance windows.
Named partner success contact (not a ticket queue), direct escalation path to INTRUSION engineering, deal registration, co-sell support, and sales enablement materials including client-ready battle cards and objection handling.
You do. INTRUSION handles the intelligence layer and platform operations. You own the client, the reporting conversations, and the renewal cycle. Clear lines, no land grabs on your book.
