Intrusion Inc., a leader in cyberattack prevention solutions, has announced the launch of its P.O.S.S.E. (Protecting Our Sheriff's Security Everywhere) Program. The program utilizes Intrusion's Shield technology to help protect law enforcement from cyber threats, deploying autonomous devices that block harmful communications, identify vulnerabilities, and generate actionable reports for sheriff's departments. The P.O.S.S.E. Program achieved 100% adoption during a pilot in Texas and is now scaling across several other states through a partnership with MyFlare Alert.

Why it matters

Law enforcement agencies often face the same number of cyber threats as large enterprises but operate with a fraction of the budget and staff. The P.O.S.S.E. Program aims to provide sheriff's departments with the threat intelligence and security tools they need to protect critical public safety infrastructure from growing cyber threats.

The details

The P.O.S.S.E. Program deploys Intrusion's Shield On-Premise solution, which leverages the company's 8.5 billion IP reputation database to identify and block malicious activity. Unlike traditional solutions, the P.O.S.S.E. devices operate autonomously to block harmful inbound and outbound communications, identify vulnerabilities and active attackers, and generate actionable reports for law enforcement.

  • The P.O.S.S.E. Program achieved 100% adoption during its fourth quarter 2025 pilot in Texas.
  • The P.O.S.S.E. Program is now scaling across Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Iowa through a partnership with MyFlare Alert.
