As the agile sentinel for Web, Mobile, and IoT applications, ForceShield emerged in 2016 from a collective of cybersecurity specialists intent on revolutionizing the industry. The founders recognized that traditional signature-based security measures were proving inadequate against the rising tide of sophisticated automated threats. To address this challenge, they crafted a unique security innovation known as Dynamic Transformation, which transitioned the focus from reactive responses to proactive safeguards, thereby complicating the task for potential attackers and elevating their operational costs. Understanding the escalating prevalence of automated assaults on the Internet of Things, they were confident that their cutting-edge technology and engineering prowess could effectively tackle this formidable security issue. ForceShield effectively establishes a comprehensive defense framework by shielding Web and Mobile applications, along with IoT devices, from malicious bot incursions. In doing so, they not only enhance security but also empower organizations to thrive in an increasingly hostile digital landscape.
