What is Cisco Secure Malware Analytics?

Cisco Secure Malware Analytics (formerly Threat Grid) combines advanced sandboxing with threat intelligence into one unified solution to protect organizations from malware. With a context-aware malware knowledge base, the user can understand what malware is doing or attempting to do, how large a threat it poses, and how to defend against it. On June 16 2014 Cisco completed the acquisition of ThreatGRID, a New York, NY based company that offers dynamic malware analysis and threat intelligence technology. The technology is based on ThreatGRID technology.
