Usability	Mandiant The Mandiant Threat Modeling Security Service evaluates our organization’s security controls and ethically uncovers attacker behaviors to reveal unknown risks and vulnerabilities within existing and proposed network and information systems including software applications, business processes and operational networks. Also, they helps in achieving our compliance objectives for internal and external regulations Incentivized Piyush Mittal Senior Manager Read full review	Zscaler No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Mandiant 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.
