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.
  • Excellent incident response time
  • Less impact from Security Incidents
Honestly, Mandiant seems to be the best all around. Even with being a smaller business, it’s help tremendously and keeps us feeling safe and protected.
The customer service has been superb!

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.
  • RAPID response against threats
  • Improved posture
  • Major addition to the suite of tooling (SIEM, DLP, AV, monitoring)
MDR is comparable - maybe more pricey than most; Trend XDR was much less & part of a suite of security tools - to those noted.

They offer comparable features & integrate with the major platforms (Azure AD, Salesforce, AWS, etc) and like the others could use a simpler way to onboard others not yet integrated.

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˜†
  • No negative testimonials
  • Good amount of work shredded without attacks
  • Roi increased in positive notes with quality
In comparison to any of the defense mechanisms i have worked with earlier nothing comes across as a cleaner approach to managing defense systems. With error reports being sent periodically till then time the tool learns from across places of new ways of attacks the tool is only evolving daily. It surely is a market leader and all vendors would be happy to use this tool
Like i have been saying on all my reviews, improvement can never stop. Even though mandiant has exceeded expectations we can always expect something new and refreshing that not only helps us defend but also attack and learn more about such attackers. One of the best in the class softwares out there.

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.
  • IT/SOC time saved by monitoring alerts
  • Improved time to remediation due to 24/7 eyes on glass
  • Hopefully less impact from security incidents due to early detection and containment
We are a quiet shop with few incidents, however, MD's response to questions and access to our assigned MD consultant is excellent.

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.
  • 24/7 coverage has been huge - that ROI has allowed the company to refrain from additional internal staffing of CSOC resources.
  • There is a significant improvement in time to remediate and recover from incidents.
  • Managed Defense has the ability to perform threat hunt exercises and perform enterprise-wide forensics beyond the capabilities of in-house CSOC resources.
I have found Managed Defense to be much stronger than previous managed providers I have used in the past. For example, SecureWorks provided a lot of email alerts that were noisy and very low fidelity. When our CSOC team sees an email come in from Managed Defense, they consider it high fidelity and jump on it immediately. There isn't a lot of noise of fluff with Managed Defense.
Support is solid regardless of the time of day or day of the week.
