Shield-IoT
Shield-IoT is an Israeli IoT and OT security startup protecting critical connected infrastructure through network-level threat detection and mitigation.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Shield-IoT focuses on protecting unmanaged IoT and OT devices in enterprise and critical infrastructure environments where traditional endpoint controls are often impractical. Its platform emphasizes network-based visibility, anomaly detection, and automated policy enforcement to reduce cyber risk on connected operational assets.
In 2023, Shield-IoT announced a $15 million Series A and remains private. The company is Israeli-founded and serves sectors where operational continuity and infrastructure integrity are high-stakes priorities.
Dual-use relevance is high: IoT/OT threat mitigation is directly applicable to both civilian critical infrastructure and defense-supporting operational networks that rely on connected devices and industrial control environments.
