SRA International, Inc. (NYSE: SRX), a leading provider of technology and strategic consulting services and solutions to government and commercial clients, today announced a partnership with GFI Software, Inc., to extend SRA's cyber security product suite. GFI is a leading provider of mission critical security software and services to enterprises needing specialized tools for threat analysis and defense.
SRA will integrate its strategic cyber solutions with GFI's Sandbox tool to deliver a hardened virtualization platform that enables Security Operations Centers (SOCs) to automatically perform dynamic analyses on malware in a safe, 'sandboxed' environment and aid in identifying previously unknown malware. The product will significantly increase SOC optimization, reduce manual workloads and promote a 'greener' IT infrastructure through reduced equipment footprints.
"Malware signature detection is a needed component in any defense-in-depth cyber security strategy, but the ability to discover, analyze and prevent the penetration of new malware using highly automated tools is the cyber security 'holy grail'," said SRA Senior Vice President of Offerings & Products Pat Burke. "As malware attacks grow in complexity and ferocity, SOCs must find ways to analyze the attacks rapidly and precisely in order to safeguard their organizations. The robust functionality of the GFI Sandbox, combined with SRA's proven experience providing strategic solutions for SOCs, enables us to help our clients reduce the gap to exposure and significantly enhance the resiliency of an organization's operations with a level of security and efficiency that hasn't been available to date."
"GFI Sandbox is the most sophisticated automated analysis tool available." said Chad Loeven, Vice-President of GFI's Advanced Technology Group. "What we found in SRA is a partner that can leverage that software sophistication with their secure platform to broaden the reach and applicability of the technology. SRA provides a deep bench of talent and solutions around our software that delivers unmatched analysis capabilities to our partners and customers."
The new malware analysis device, developed by SRA, is scheduled for release later this year.
