About Shield360

Our Mission

Making the web safer, one site at a time

Our Story

Shield360 was founded in 2024 with a simple but ambitious goal: give every website owner the same caliber of security protection that Fortune 500 companies rely on, without the enterprise price tag or complexity.

What started as a specialized Shopify protection tool quickly grew into something much bigger. As we dove deeper into the web security landscape, we discovered that millions of small businesses, indie developers, and personal site owners were completely exposed to sophisticated attacks like Magecart skimming, DOM-based XSS, and client-side supply chain compromises.

Today, Shield360 protects over 128,000 websites across 42 countries. Our AI-powered threat detection engine processes billions of events daily, identifying and neutralizing threats in under 50 milliseconds. But we're just getting started. Our vision is a web where every site, no matter how small, has world-class security built in from day one.

Our Values

Security First

Security isn't a feature we bolt on — it's the foundation everything else is built upon. Every decision starts with "how does this protect our users?"

Open by Default

Transparency builds trust. We publish our threat research, open-source key components, and share our security practices with the community.

Speed Matters

In security, milliseconds count. Our detection engine is engineered for sub-50ms response times because threats don't wait and neither should protection.
