Overall Satisfaction with Mandiant Managed Defense

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.

  • 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.
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.
