Mandiant Advantage Threat Intelligence vs. Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud

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.
