CloudShield is headquartered in Sunnyvale, Calif.

Founded in 2000, CloudShield provides services management and infrastructure security solutions to service providers and national governments worldwide.

"We are pleased to welcome CloudShield to SAIC and our cyber team," said Shea. "This acquisition is an integral component of our enterprise cyber strategy and provides us with technology to help build a solid foundation for the development of solution-focused applications."

"As the technological landscape becomes more complex, our customers need to identify new ways to manage high-bandwidth IP-based data services. The increasing demands of file sharing, streaming videos and other services on existing infrastructure are driving the sales of our solutions," said Matt Jones, CEO of CloudShield. "We are pleased to become a part of SAIC, combining technologies, services and expertise that will enable us to develop more robust solutions for current and future customers."

The acquisition is expected to close by mid-February 2010, subject to customary closing conditions, including expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
