Intrusion Inc 's

The market for network and data protection security solutions is intensely competitive and subject to frequent introductions of new technologies, and potentially improved price and performance characteristics. Industry suppliers compete in areas such as conformity to existing and emerging industry standards, interoperability with networking and other cybersecurity solutions, management and security capabilities, performance, price, ease of use, scalability, reliability, flexibility, features and technical support. Our principal competitors in the data mining and advanced persistent threat market include Niksun, NetScout, FireEye, and Darktrace.
There are numerous companies competing in various segments of the data security markets. At this time, we have little or no competitors for TraceCop; however, we believe competitors could emerge in the future. These competitors currently perform only a portion of the functions that we are able to perform with TraceCop. We have been continuously collecting the TraceCop data for more than twenty years, and we believe that none of our current or future competitors will have the ability to provide and reference this extremely valuable historical data. In our newest market segment, data mining and advanced persistent threat detection, we compete directly and indirectly with companies and open source technologies in the firewall, intrusion detection and prevention, anti-virus, network analysis, endpoint protection, and insider threat prevention areas of cybersecurity technology.
We expect that our current INTRUSION Shield solution, as well as upcoming complementary offerings in the INTRUSION Shield family, will be novel and unique in our industry because of our proprietary threat-enriched big data. We expect that our INTRUSION Shield family of solutions will also complement our customer?s existing cybersecurity processes and third-party solutions. If the INTRUSION Shield receives widespread acceptance in the market, we anticipate that other businesses will seek to compete with INTRUSION Shield; however, we believe our existing, mature, and proprietary database which is integral to the operation of INTRUSION Shield will be difficult, if not impossible, for other companies in our industry to replicate and will be a significant barrier to entry of competitors in the near- and long-term future of cyber security solutions.
