Many companies that have an presence can benefit from using Mandiant ASM to identify and manage their internet facing assets, like web servers, email servers and DNS servers. This helps reduce the risk of cyberattacks targeting these assets.However smaller organizations with exposure might not always need the extensive attack surface monitoring provided by Mandiant ASM. For example a small company with one website may not require much monitoring, as a larger corporation.

Mandiant Support was a bit of a struggle - they need to increase support staffing and capabilities without having to wait for escalations. Overall a good tool, but could be better.
