The company's platform continuously discovers workloads, identifies risks, enforces security policies, and generates automated policies through agentless security controls. ShieldX follows three primary guidelines to deliver innovation, embraces emerging technologies, recruits diverse human capital, and creates a business that is greater than the sum of its parts. The platform, APEIRO, helps enterprises reduce customer risk, support business scalability, cybersecurity, and compliance goals, regardless of where sensitive data resides or how it moves across public, private, or multi-cloud environments. ShieldX is based in San Jose, CA, and was founded in 2015 by a consortium of veteran investors, serial entrepreneurs, and colleagues from well-known security companies.
