CloudShield was founded in 2000 with the goal of addressing the central challenges facing carrier-class network operators:
Implementing fine-grained service- and subscriber-level policy and bandwidth management in an era of complex converged networks. Securing network infrastructure against increasingly sophisticated threats. Reducing capital and operating expenditures while driving new revenues at a time of tightening cost pressures. The CloudShield network application platform offers the first comprehensive solution to all of these challenges, delivering unprecedented services management and infrastructure security capabilities while transforming the speed and economics of delivering “in-the-cloud” services. CloudShield’s platform is a complete solution, consisting of best-of-breed appliance- and blade-level hardware, a secure real-time operating system, a rapid application development environment, and the industry’s broadest array of deployed applications. Designed for service providers and national governments, CloudShield’s platform is being used to manage and secure some of the world’s most demanding network environments.
