Founded in 2017, the Tel Aviv, Israel-based Shield-IoT aims to help service providers and IoT brands secure B2B IoT and IIoT networks, to keep devices, data, and critical infrastructure and services secure from IoT cyber-threats.

The company says its cloud-based solution is already used across verticals such as government, manufacturing, telecoms, transportation, and utilities, in addition to helping secure smart cities.

Shield-IoT says its coreset-AI technology brings a new approach to IoT mass-volume data analysis by transforming big data into small data sets, to deliver accurate anomaly detection in minutes.

“Shield-IoT removes the big data barriers and opens the door to a $50 billion IoT connectivity services market (2025). Our innovative technology is helping global IoT players to move forward and accelerate IoT growth,” Shield-IoT CEO and Co-Founder Udi Solomon said.
