Constant Targeting
Critical infrastructure is continuously probed by sophisticated, well-resourced threat actors with geopolitical and financial motives.
Outershield Security LLC · Albuquerque, NM
The Outer Layer of Defense.
For Organizations Most Attackers Target.
Outershield Security is a cybersecurity research and consulting company in Albuquerque, NM, serving SMEs and critical infrastructure operators. We build research-driven security frameworks for organizations that face enterprise-grade threats without enterprise-grade budgets.
The Problem We Solve
SMEs face enterprise-grade threats without enterprise-grade resources.
Small hospitals, municipal utilities, local governments, and regional banks form the backbone of American critical infrastructure, and they are targeted constantly by ransomware, nation-state actors, and cybercriminals.
No dedicated security teams. No threat intelligence. No SOC automation. That gap is what we close.
Resource Deficit
Most SMEs operate without a single dedicated security professional, leaving response plans, patch cycles, and threat monitoring entirely ad hoc.
Automation Gap
Enterprise SOC tooling is cost-prohibitive. Outershield builds lightweight, open-source automation stacks that close the gap without breaking budgets.
What We Do
Research-driven security work, built for teams without a SOC.
SOC Automation & Monitoring
Lightweight, open-source security operations tooling, built on Wazuh, n8n, and TheHive, for organizations without a dedicated SOC team.
