Without the staff you don’t have.

Shield brings prevention-first network security to critical infrastructure environments. Shield blocks malicious traffic at the network layer using the Global Threat Engine and 8.5 billion IP and DNS combinations refined since 2001.

Shield blocks known-bad traffic at the network edge against 8.5 billion IP and DNS combinations. No tuning. No alert fatigue. No downtime to deploy. Built for SLED, OT, healthcare, utilities, and the regulated environments that cannot afford either a breach or a service interruption.

// The Problem

Limited staff. Limited tolerance for downtime.
Unlimited threat surface.

Public sector and critical infrastructure security teams carry the same threat load as the largest enterprises, with a fraction of the headcount. The tools that work for big-budget SOC teams generate alerts that no one has time to read. Shield is built for the opposite reality.

Reality 01

Your team is one or two people deep

You cannot afford a tool that requires a full-time tuning specialist, a dedicated SOC analyst, or a six-month deployment project. You need protection that runs itself.

Reality 02

Downtime is not negotiable

Plant lines, hospital systems, water treatment, traffic systems, public services. None of these can come offline for a security tool to learn what normal looks like. Shield blocks on day one without baseline learning.

Reality 03

Audit deadlines are real

CMMC, NIST 800-171, HIPAA Security Rule, state procurement standards. Shield supports the network monitoring and access control requirements you need to evidence, with logs your auditor can pull.

// Who We Serve

Five sectors.
One protection model.

Each environment has its own constraints, compliance frameworks, and procurement vehicles. The technology is the same. The framing is built for the buyer.

SLED

State, Local & Education

City IT, county security, school districts, and higher education. Shield blocks ransomware command-and-control traffic and reconnaissance scans without the SOC headcount you do not have.

SLED solutions →
OT

OT & Manufacturing

Plant networks, industrial control systems, and unmanaged devices. Shield runs in observe-only mode first so you see what is happening before anything blocks.

OT solutions →
HEALTHCARE

Healthcare & Compliance

Hospitals, clinics, regional health systems. Shield supports HIPAA Security Rule network monitoring requirements and stops the outbound traffic patterns that signal ransomware staging.

Healthcare solutions →
UTILITIES

Utilities

Water, power, gas, and regional utility cooperatives. Shield gives you visibility into what is on your network and blocks the inbound recon that precedes targeted attacks.

Utility solutions →
MUNICIPAL

Municipalities

City and county government, public services, and regional authorities. Shield deploys in hours, not months, and is sized for procurement realities and public-sector budgets.

Municipal solutions →
REGULATED

Government-Adjacent Enterprise

Defense contractors, critical infrastructure suppliers, and regulated enterprises that inherit federal compliance requirements through their customers.

// Why It Fits Public Sector

Built for environments that cannot afford surprises.

Most enterprise security tools assume budget, staff, and a tolerance for tuning. Public sector and critical infrastructure buyers have none of those. Shield is built around that constraint.

What Most Tools Require

  • Months of baseline learning before they catch anything
  • A dedicated analyst to tune detection rules
  • SIEM integration, log forwarding, parser maintenance
  • Endpoint agents on every device, including unmanaged ones
  • Network downtime to deploy, sometimes weeks of change windows
  • An incident response team to triage the resulting alert volume

What Shield Requires

  • An observe-only window, then turn on protection when ready
  • No tuning. Reputation-based blocking against 8.5B known-bad records
  • CSV and Excel exports for audit. Syslog from Shield OnPremise for SIEM
  • Network-first coverage. No endpoint agent required for blocking
  • Inline deployment with no required downtime, span port for monitoring
  • Autonomous operation. Blocks happen at the network. No queue to triage

Path C

Compliance-first conversation

Some buyers want to see how Shield maps to CMMC, NIST 800-171, and HIPAA requirements before anything else. Start there and move into evaluation when ready.
