Overall Satisfaction with Mandiant Managed Defense

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

  • 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.
Dedicated resource from Google/Mandiant & responsive VSOC
SolarWinds Security Event Manager (SEM), Qualys VMDR
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.
