“Since releasing INTRUSION’s revolutionary Shield solution only 6 weeks ago, we have received an unprecedented amount of interest and a growing pipeline of customers that is nothing short of extraordinary,” said Jack B. Blount, President and CEO of INTRUSION. “Shield is the first platform that uses real-time artificial intelligence to not just block intruders, but to kill cyberattacks including zero-days.
“Also during the quarter, we continued to expand our executive team with highly experienced individuals that offer deep domain expertise across the cybersecurity and software industries as well as channel sales. I firmly believe we have the right team in place to drive our company to the next level of growth, and I am very pleased with the progress we have made. I’m also encouraged by the early signs of recovery in our government business that should contribute to our growth this year as it returns to historical levels. Overall, the strong momentum we have generated in such a short period of time is indicative of the market need for our Shield family of solutions, for which we expect to see increasing traction and growth throughout the coming year.”
