PLANO, TX / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2026 / Intrusion Inc. (NASDAQ:INTZ) ("Intrusion" or the "Company"), a leader in cyberattack prevention solutions, today announced the launch of its P.O.S.S.E. (Protecting Our Sheriff's Security Everywhere) Program that utilizes the Company's Shield technology to help protect law enforcement from cyber threats.
The P.O.S.S.E. Program deploys the Shield On-Premise solution leveraging Intrusion's 8.5 billion IP reputation database to identify and block malicious activity. Unlike traditional solutions that require specialized staff, P.O.S.S.E. devices operate autonomously to block harmful inbound and outbound communications, identify vulnerabilities and active attackers, and generate actionable reports that law enforcement can readily understand. The Program achieved
The P.O.S.S.E. Program is now scaling across Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Iowa through a partnership with MyFlare Alert. This partnership provides distribution access to hundreds of sheriff departments, schools, and government facilities through a Sheriff-to-Sheriff validation model where sheriffs complete the assessment and either deploy or pass the device to a peer department.
"We are proud to announce the launch of the P.O.S.S.E. Program, which will help protect law enforcement from the growing number of cyber threats," said Tony Scott, CEO of Intrusion Inc. "The Sheriff departments here in Texas 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 will provide Sheriff departments with the threat intelligence they need to ensure that local public safety infrastructure is protected. We look forward to working closely with MyFlare Alert to help expand this program and Increase the adoption of our technology in other states outside of Texas."
"We learned quickly that even the extensive cybersecurity we already have wasn't enough," said Chanze Fowler, Sheriff of Hartley County, Texas. "The P.O.S.S.E. Program changed the way we think about safety by taking our security to the next level and helping protect the systems our deputies and community rely on every day."
