Avast CloudCare vs. Mandiant Advantage Security Validation

Avast CloudCare is great when it comes to ease of installation and GUI. Working inside the web portal is pretty self-intuitive. Some of the issues revolve around computers coming up missing from the portal or from computer jumping sites.

Mandiant Advantage Security Validation, designed by Mandiant company, can automate a testing program to give us authetic and real world data on how our security controls are effectively working / performing. This solution provides trusted evidence on how well our security controls work against threats targeting our organization. This enables security teams to emulate real attack behaviors against security controls authentically throughout the attack lifecycle and the entire security stack.

We used to use Norton AV exclusively for all our business and home users, but it got to where it was using a lot of system resources and would slow down some computers. We selected Avast cloud care since it was a lighter weight program and provided great results as far as protection.

Mandiant is focused on a clear view of the environment, vulnerabilities, and threats. Palo Alto is a great tool for some of this, but was not mature enough at the time of our initial eval. The new version of Palo Alto looks much more robust and capable and we will definitely re-evaluate it before renewal with Mandiant. If you already have Palo in your environment, it's an even more compelling case.
