Built by operators,
for operators.
SHEL INFOSEC was founded in Cape Town with one conviction: that small and medium enterprises deserve the same quality of security operations as the enterprises paying seven-figure retainer fees — without the seven-figure price tag attached.
The team is built from practitioners who have worked in SOC environments, conducted red-team engagements, and responded to live breaches. We do not resell other companies' products under a SHEL INFOSEC logo. We operate our own tooling, write our own playbooks, and stand behind every recommendation with our own analysts.
The Silent Edge platform is the product of years of building the monitoring infrastructure we wished we had access to when working inside client environments. One agent. Real-time telemetry. Automated remediation. Transparent pricing. Deployed and managed by the same team that built it.
Today SHEL INFOSEC protects 40+ clients across multiple sectors, processes 14.2 million security events per day, and maintains a mean time to response of under five minutes — around the clock, every day of the year.
How we operate.
Every analyst takes personal ownership of every incident they handle. No ticket queues, no handoff culture. You speak to the person watching your network.
Monthly reporting shows you exactly what happened, what we did, and what the threat landscape looks like for your sector. No vague PDFs.
We work with your existing stack. If we recommend a tool, it is because it is the right tool — not because we earn a margin on the licence.
We built our pricing, our tooling, and our processes specifically for organisations that are too big to ignore security and too smart to overpay for it.
