About ShieldNet
Founded by ex-NSA and military cyber operators, ShieldNet builds the next generation of threat protection for modern enterprises.
Defending the Digital Frontier
“To empower every organization with military-grade cybersecurity, making advanced threat protection accessible, intelligent, and autonomous.”
Founded in 2019 by a team of former NSA analysts and military cyber operations specialists, ShieldNet was born from a simple observation: enterprise security tools were too complex, too slow, and generated too much noise. We set out to build something fundamentally better.
Today, ShieldNet protects over 10 million endpoints across 40 countries. Our AI-powered platform processes 500 billion security events daily, detecting and neutralizing threats that legacy tools miss. We are headquartered in Washington, DC, with research labs in Tel Aviv and engineering offices in Austin and London.
Our Principles
The core beliefs that drive our mission to protect the digital world.
Zero Trust Mindset
We assume breach in everything we build. Every connection is verified, every action is monitored, and nothing is implicitly trusted.
Radical Transparency
We publish our detection methodologies, share threat research openly, and never hide behind security through obscurity.
Relentless Innovation
Our research team continuously develops new detection models, staying ahead of adversaries through AI-driven analysis and proactive threat hunting.

Security veterans building the future of cyber defense.
