Iron Shield — The AI era security platform for small and medium-sized enterprises
Most AI security tools today are designed for large corporations that already have dedicated SOC (Security Operations Center) teams. Iron Shield was created for businesses with 10–500 employees — where there is no team and insufficient budget for it.
Iron Shield considers shadow AI, prompt injection, and deepfake as top-tier threats — not secondary features — operating under the same rule engine as cloud, endpoint, and identity scanning (35+ scanners, agents for Linux/Windows/macOS/Kubernetes), in addition to a self-hosted LLM gateway and automation for ISO 27001/GDPR compliance. Deployment takes about 30 minutes, with costs starting at $149/month.
Why small businesses are the target, not collateral damage
AI has removed skill barriers for attackers: deepfake voice tools for $20, prompt injection hidden in a public GitHub repo, employees unaware that ChatGPT does not comply with HIPAA. Small businesses are not "collateral damage" — they are direct targets.
The scenarios below are not real specific cases — they are illustrative simulations based on attack patterns and publicly available industry data (FBI IC3 reports, HHS OCR, IBM Cost of a Data Breach...), accurately reflecting how these attacks operate in reality.
- Law Firm — 35 employees | CEO voice impersonation via Deepfake The managing attorney receives a call that sounds just like their biggest client — requesting an emergency wire transfer. $180,000 disappears before anyone realizes it's an AI-generated voice. BEC (Business Email Compromise) losses reached $2.9 billion in 2023 — voice deepfake has completely removed technical barriers.
- Clinic — 60 employees | Data leak via Shadow AI A nurse uses ChatGPT to summarize patient files without anyone knowing. 3,000 files end up in a third-party AI training dataset. HIPAA fine: $1.9 million — the clinic has never had an AI policy. 78% of SMB healthcare facilities have employees using unapproved AI tools (2025).
- Manufacturing Business — 45 employees | Server Backdoor & Beaconing C2 An old Linux server running shipping software is exposed through an SSH port that was forgotten to be closed. The attacker installs a backdoor that doesn't save files, quietly sending signals to the control server every few hours — 4 months pass without detection, until ransomware is activated. Attackers typically remain hidden in compromised SMB networks for an average of 21 days before being discovered.
- Tech Startup — 80 employees | Data theft via Prompt Injection A programmer's coding AI assistant is fed a hidden malicious prompt within an open-source repo, quietly sending API keys and internal documents outside. Coding AI tools are present in 67% of software development processes — prompt injection is the "SQL injection" of the AI era.
- E-commerce — 40 employees | Supply chain not scanned for security The website built by a freelance agency has never had its source code scanned. Six months later, a malicious package in node_modules quietly steals 15,000 customer card details. 43% of SMBs outsource software development — less than 5% scan third-party code before deployment.
- Financial Company — 30 employees | Spear-Phishing Email Attack An employee receives an email from the "CEO" requesting an urgent payment — one character off in the domain name. An attached PDF file installs malware. $95,000 has been transferred before IT was alerted. Phishing accounts for 90% of data breaches — AI-powered spear-phishing has a success rate three times higher than manual attacks.
