Intrusion's Shield cybersecurity tool not only identifies threats in real time, but blocks suspicious traffic immediately. 77,539,801. That’s how many cyberthreats Intrusion’s new AI-based Shield cybersecurity appliance stopped during a 90-day beta test of 13 companies that ended this week. The intrusion prevention solution, which was announced in October, combines plug-and-play hardware with software, a database of 270 data feeds, billions of IP addresses and real-time artificial intelligence. This combination of technologies allows it to identify and prevent threats in real time by analyzing both current traffic entering and exiting a network and historical traffic patterns to decide whether the traffic is trustworthy. It also skips the alert step altogether, blocking suspicious traffic immediately.
