Strategic Initiatives Increase INTRUSION Shield Exposure to a Wide Spectrum of Organizations Building Out Their Zero Trust Architecture
November 11 2021 - 4:05PM
INTRUSION (Nasdaq: INTZ) announced today that it has rolled out
several strategic initiatives to provide greater exposure of
INTRUSION Shield as an integral component of any organization’s
Zero Trust Architecture. Shield relies on its unique proprietary IP
reputation-based threat intelligence database to make pass/block
decisions on inbound and outbound network traffic in real-time.
Shield does not rely on traditional, or next-gen, firewall packet
and application filtering engines as other cybersecurity solutions
do. Instead, it uses a novel means of protecting organizations from
Zero-Day and malware-free attacks by only permitting trusted
connections to proceed which fits directly into the notion of Zero
Trust.
INTRUSION recently shipped the latest release of
its award-winning Shield product, and the company onboarded new
Value-Added Distributor (VAD) channel partners, including Liquid PC
and Forequest Technologies, to extend its reach. The company also
formed a new Advisory Board comprised of industry icons Greg Akers,
Eric Jackson, and Vice Admiral TJ White, USN, Retired.
“Over the past couple of years we’ve seen a world
finally waking up to understand that cyberattacks aren’t merely
intriguing storylines on popular TV shows and movies, but
every-day, real-life potentially catastrophic events on everything
that matters including critical infrastructure, supply chains, and
schools with devastating consequences to the operation and bottom
line of those impacted,” said Gary Davis, Chief Sales &
Marketing Officer at INTRUSION. “As 2021 winds down, we’ve
accelerated endeavors that enable us to meet the demands of a wide
variety of organizations building out their Zero Trust Architecture
without taxing an already overwhelmed cybersecurity or IT
staff.”
Below are further details about the Company’s
strategic initiatives.
