HERNDON, Va.: #cybersecurity--GuidePoint Security, a cybersecurity solutions leader enabling organizations to make smarter decisions and minimize risk, announced today that Quokka has joined its Emerging Cyber Vendor Program.

Through this partnership, Quokka will be able to leverage GuidePoint’s deep federal expertise across sales and marketing, operations, engineering, and procurement to expand their federal footprint. As part of the program, the Quokka Contextual Mobile Security Intelligence Platform will be available under GuidePoint’s GSA Multiple Award Schedule Contract.

"Mobile application security and privacy are mission-critical for federal organizations as threat actors become increasingly more advanced,” said Jim Quarantillo, Federal Partner, GuidePoint Security. “By securing the mobile application development lifecycle and the assessing COTS mobile applications in app stores, the Quokka platform can help agencies prevent zero-day exploits, meet mobile cybersecurity requirements and better protect national security.”

Backed by state-of-the-art mobile security research and proprietary intelligence, Quokka enables organizations to reduce their attack surface through proactive remediation of vulnerabilities — before they become incidents that threaten privacy, intellectual property, sensitive data, and reputation. The Quokka platform helps power the FedRAMP-certified CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) Mobile App Vetting (MAV) service, a mobile application security solution currently offered to federal civilian agencies.

“The attack surface for mobile threats is ever increasing in size and complexity for both commercial and public sectors.
