WASHINGTON, DC — (Marketwired) — 12/13/16 — , a pioneer in software defined perimeters (SDP) and digital risk reduction solutions, today announced that the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has authorized the addition of Waverley–s patent-pending Panther Risk Analytics & Artificial Intelligence Engine. Offered under the WAVERLEY LABS GSA contract (GS35-F-047GA) Federal Supply IT Schedule 70 and purchased from the website, Panther reduces risk from the cyber threat by orchestrating and controlling Software Defined Perimeters (SDP).

The GSA IT Schedule 70 award allows the federal, state, and local governments to purchase products through a streamlined process and pre-negotiated pricing that will save them time, resources, and money.

Waverley Labs– Panther is based on nearly 20 years of experience developing large, attack-sensing and warning solutions used by a variety of Government organizations including the DoD.

Panther orchestrates and controls Waverley Labs– for securing critical applications and infrastructures. SDP .

Waverley Labs worked closely with the CSA Software Defined Perimeter Working Group which developed the SDP specification adopted by the Cloud Security Alliance and its members. The primary effect of the SDP is that it transforms the application infrastructure into an effectively invisible or “black cloud” environment that shows no domain name system (DNS) information or IP addresses.

Waverley Labs was recently to defend against large and sophisticated Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. The project titled “An Open Source Project for a Software-Defined Perimeter to Defend Cloud Apps from DDoS” was awarded through Broad Agency Announcement HSHQDC-14-R-B00017 and is part of the –s larger Distributed Denial of Service Defenses (DDoSD) program.

“Government Agencies are mandated to reduce risks from the cyber threat and increase security. The SDP provides an improved and integrated way to do just that” said Juanita Koilpillai, Founder and CEO of Waverley Labs. “I am encouraged that agencies are starting to customize SDP for their unique agency requirements to protect their most critical applications and infrastructures.”

SDPs are emerging as a core component in a new security paradigm to reduce or eliminate risk and incorporating industry input and lessons learned from successful commercial implementations of SDP by , Mazda, and .

Waverley Labs is a leading a leading provider of digital risk management software and services that helps large organizations reduce their exposure to digital risk. Its products and services range from custom implementations of the open source software defined perimeters (SDPs) for federal agencies, to the assessment, quantification, and mitigation of digital risk from the business perspective. Waverley Labs works closely with NIST and the Cloud Security Alliance to provide thought leadership in digital risk management. For more information visit , or call (800) 401-5180.
