Enjoy continuous updates and cloud-based infrastructure for optimal application protection. Opt for Shield for an unmatched .NET obfuscation experience.
Manage every last line to be protected (or not) in a simple way
Not every part of your application has to be protected, maybe there is something you don't want to or shouldn't and maybe there are some parts that you are very concerned about. With Shield you can easily manage with attributes which parts should be protected to the maximum, which to exclude and which not to exclude.
Handles exceptions in the same way as the original application
When an application is obfuscated, understanding the exceptions or problems that occur becomes an impossible task. With Shield you can manage exceptions in a simple way as if it were the original application, maintaining security at all times.
Advanced configuration in a simple language for everyone
Obfuscation products are complex, technical and we agree: Configurations should not be. Shield can be configured visually with a very simple interface and super simple configuration files.
