Mandiant has announced a beta test program for Managed Defense -- a new managed detection and response (MDR) security service. The program, unveiled at the
2022 RSA Conference in San Francisco, California, is open to select
CrowdStrike Falcon and
SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint customers. Previously, CrowdStrike
partnered with Mandiant in April 2022, and SentinelOne
partnered with Mandiant in February 2022.
Program participants can receive alert monitoring from Mandiant Managed Defense global security operations centers (SOCs) and alert triage and investigation by Mandiant experts, the company said. They also can gain insights into active or past data breaches and generate security assessments and recommendations. Furthermore, participants can share feedback about Managed Defense before it becomes generally available later in 2022.
The beta test comes as
Google Cloud seeks to finalize the Mandiant acquisition -- though the
Department of Justice reportedly is taking a closer look at the deal.
A Closer Look at Mandiant Managed Defense
Managed Defense protects organizations' endpoints, networks, clouds, emails and operations against cyberattacks, Mandiant indicated. Organizations can use Managed Defense to reduce attacker dwell-time and respond to cyberattacks.
With Managed Defense, organizations can look for threats and generate threat intelligence that they can use to find ways to improve their security posture, Mandiant stated. They also can contain threats and receive remediation recommendations from Mandiant's security experts.
In addition to announcing its Managed Defense beta program, Mandiant in June 2022 has
launched the Cyber Alliance Program for cybersecurity technology providers. Mandiant introduced the program at the 2022 RSA Conference.
Inaugural Cyber Alliance Program partners include:
