Cisco Secure Malware Analytics (Threat Grid)

Threat Grid is our primary source for testing questionable websites or executable files. We have integrated it with Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), so that AMP automatically sends anything "iffy" to Threat Grid for analysis. In a university environment, there is a large amount diverse software in use or downloaded daily. We are unable to enforce a "whitelist" of sorts, so we rely on tools like AMP and Threat Grid to help eliminate malicious software while maintaining the most available network we can.

[Cisco] Secure Malware Analytics (Thread Grid) has combined sandboxing with threat intelligence into one unified solution to protect an organization from any type of advanced malware. Cisco Secure Malware Analytics provides a lot of features, like a robust, context-rich malware knowledge base. [Cisco] Secure Malware Analytics will analyze every file and suspicious behavior across your environment. We are using this technology to protect our organization from any type of malware attack. It provides us [with] all the details and a global view of malware samples [and] behaviors.
