We used this product for managed security to help prevent and protect against cyber attacks or security breaches.
  • Accurate and detailed reporting
  • 24/7 Customer Support
  • I can’t think of anything that would need improvement
We’ve used other providers who didnt seem to be as affective, in addition to sending tonnnns of faulty alerts. When an alert is received on Mandiant, it’s a legitimate alert/threat.

We were looking for Managed Detection & Response solution for our customer as there was issues on clarity of threats , which can not be define Bad & Good by even best technology available in market. MDR services can be a cost effective way to access the necessary detection & response skills and resources without having to recruit, train and retain the internal talent.
  • Integration & Protection-Mandiant provide highest degree of integration with Endpoints, Networks ,email & Cloud and Identity solutions an organization already using
  • Strong Protection- Mandiant has best threat landscape technology which provide holistic view of security & Protection.
  • Due to split from FireEye Mandiant no longer can provide its own End Point Protection as part of MDR for customers that want to transition after incident is complete .
  • Single remediation response with no-ongoing monitoring
Rapid identification & Neutralization : The Madiant Rapid Response team will get work right away often within hours to identify and eject the adversary . Others Vendor takes days.
Post Incidents Threat Summary: Mandiant provide formal summary of its investigation, detailing the actions it took & discovery it made as well as recommending long term guidance on how to mitigate the recurrence of similar threats in future .
Also provide ongoing detection & response.

Antivirus, while a good tool, doesn't rise to the level of use that EDR/XDR etc does.
Not only do you need to detect that problems exist, you need to kill them at the point-of-attack.

Endpoint detect-respond does this.

MDR also has a pool of 24x7 engineers reviewing telemetry of interest to action or inform against.
  • SOAR
  • Pool of engineers 24x7
  • Cost-effective for what it does
  • View on assets under mgmt
  • Low-cost integrations with platforms/apps not already present
  • Customize what default view is
MDR and competitor offer the "tip of the spear" against threat actors & provides eyes on covered devices around the clock.
For any organization with exception of huge companies that run their own SOC this is heaven-sent.

Integrations with PaaS/SaaS are not something where an agent can be deployed - curious if custom API's are possible to hook into those that will allow it.

The benefits of using the managed defense is the integration of frontline knowledge and all the research done of attackers that help protect customers at speed and scale. We were able to come up with pretty basic ways to work around any kind of issues and enhance our secuiry measures.
  • Exposes hidden issues
  • Response time is much quicker
  • Risk against ransomware is low
  • With the help lf experts from the mandiant team support is a click away
  • Dashboards are very modern and maybe confusing at first. Placeholder tooltips may help
  • Integrations with systems by default can help
  • Pricing structure needs to be revised for small industries
Lets say you have been assigned the role to monitor the defense mechanism of the company. How can you do that if the mechanism does not show important issues and cannot identify the hidden vulnerability. Here managed defense dashboard solves everything. You can see everything from a to z. Obviously if you have a lot of coffee spilled over this mechanism cannot help us there đŸ˜†

Managed Defense provides our organization with 24/7 SOC capabilities for our small cybersecurity team by monitoring our FireEye/Trellix suite of products. In addition to alert monitoring, escalation, and response, they provide regular threat hunting and threat intelligence briefings.
  • Alert monitoring, escalation, and response
  • Threat hunting
  • Threat intelligence briefing
  • I cannot think of anything
Managed Defense is a must-have for any organization with limited cybersecurity resources and staff. In Managed Defense you have some of the best threat analyst and incident responders in the world to augment your security capabilities 24/7. It is hard to quantify the value of that piece of mind for a small/medium business.

Mandiant Managed Defense is being used for 24/7 coverage for the CSOC. Managed Defense is also used as an escalation point for high-severity incidents.
  • Excellent across all major tenant of incident response (detection, containment, eradication, etc.)
  • Has a strong backend support system to perform advanced incident response activities (reverse malware engineering, etc.)
  • Very scalable - no matter how small or large the incident, Managed Defense can tackle it, or escalate to Mandiant IR if the incident is complex and/or large enough.
  • Very little opportunities for improvement. Perhaps support for more alert types. Currently, not all alerts reviewed by the in-house CSOC team are in-scope for Managed Defense.
Mandiant Managed Defense has helped the company manage small and very large incidents. I believe Managed Defense is well suited for any organization with an appetite to use an outsourced Managed Defense provider. They provide 24/7 coverage, and they alert on real activity. There isn't a lot of irrelevant / trivial chatter back and forth. They notify us when they need too.
