Problem
The increasing number of IoT devices connected via cellular networks creates a large attack surface, making them vulnerable to cyber threats and operational anomalies. Traditional security solutions often require agents installed on the devices, which is not always feasible or practical for IoT deployments. This lack of visibility and threat management can lead to data breaches, service disruptions, and compliance issues.
Solution
Shield-IoT offers a cybersecurity platform designed to protect cellular IoT networks without requiring agents on the devices. The platform provides continuous monitoring, threat detection, and compliance management for any SIM-connected IoT device or application. By leveraging patented Coreset-AI technology, Shield-IoT can detect network anomalies and operational events, providing actionable insights to prevent cyberattacks and ensure operational integrity. The multi-tenant software can be deployed as a SaaS service or within the connectivity service provider's cloud, offering flexibility and scalability. This enables connectivity providers to offer value-added security services, differentiate their offerings, and generate new revenue streams.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes IoT connectivity service providers (CSPs) looking to offer value-added security services to their customers, as well as enterprises and SMBs deploying cellular IoT devices across various use cases such as smart cities, healthcare, and industrial IoT.
