    Usually SOC leverages Intel from mutiple sources. The scenarios are: 1.Suitable: In large scale SOC where more than 5000 devices are being monitored and the tech stack is wide, Mandiant will play an excellent role in that scenario. 2.Not Suitable: In small scale SOCs wherein limited devices belonging to the same tech stack is being used then the analysts can rely on OSINT and it is not useful to buy the solution.

    • I'm not sure VirusTotal can improve this themselves but just keeping up with the evolving "known" threat landscape is tough so even though VirusTotal is very good, nothing is 100% effective in this space.

    Mandiant Advantage Threat Intelligence has a very usable platform, with well-differentiated sections for the analyst, as well as the possibility of cross-searching to obtain the desired results. All this is presented with an interface that is easy on the eye and not very messy, which increases productivity and the speed with which work is done.
