PLANO, Texas, Nov. 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – INTRUSION (Nasdaq: INTZ) announced today that it has launched several strategic initiatives to promote INTRUSION Shield as an integral part of any company’s zero trust architecture . Shield relies on its unique proprietary IP reputation-based threat intelligence database to make pass / block decisions for inbound and outbound network traffic in real time. Shield doesn’t rely on traditional or next-gen firewall packet and application filtering engines like other cybersecurity solutions. Instead, it uses a novel means to protect organizations from zero-day and malware-free attacks by only allowing trusted connections, which fits right into the concept of zero trust.
INTRUSION recently shipped the latest version of its award-winning Shield product and the company has brought on board new Value-Added Distributor (VAD) channel partners including Liquid PC and Forequest Technologies to expand its reach. The company has also formed a new advisory board comprised of industry icons Greg Akers, Eric Jackson, and retired Vice Admiral TJ White, USN.
“In the past few years we’ve seen a world finally wake up to understand that cyberattacks aren’t just fascinating storylines in popular TV shows and movies, but everyday, potentially catastrophic, real-life events about everything that matters, including critical ones Infrastructure, supply chains and schools events with devastating consequences for operations and bottom line, “said Gary Davis, INTRUSION’s chief sales and marketing officer. “As of the end of 2021, we have accelerated our efforts to enable us to meet the needs of a large number of organizations building their zero trust architecture without burdening an already overwhelmed cybersecurity or IT staff.”
Below are more details on the company’s strategic initiatives.
