Achilles Shield

Achilles Shield provides cybersecurity, strategic advisory services and information technology solutions to private and public companies. In practice that means assessing, monitoring and responding to security threats on your behalf.

It makes the most sense for companies without a full security team. They also list Big Data, Cloud Computing, Consulting, Cyber Security and Risk Management, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Achilles Shield is based in Vienna, Virginia and founded in 2014. More on a-shield.com.

Our checklist for this category: response times, what is included in monitoring, and reporting. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with Achilles Shield, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
