FireEye Mandiant
launches new
Cloud Security
Assessments
ireEye, the intelligence-led
security company, has announced
the availability of two new
FireEye Mandiant services.
F
Cloud Security Assessments help
organisations evaluate and harden
security in cloud platforms, and Cyber
Defence Operations consulting services
help organisations achieve security
transformation by improving the detection
and response capabilities of their security
operations centre (SOC).
“For more than 15 years, FireEye Mandiant
has been at the forefront of cybersecurity
and cyberthreat intelligence. We have a
deep understanding of evolving attacker
behaviours and motivations derived direct
from the frontlines that extends across the
cloud and on-premises environments. Our
Cloud Security Assessments and Cyber
Defence Operations consulting services
are two new offerings to help clients
protect their key assets before, during and
after an incident,” said Jurgen Kutscher,
EVP of Service Delivery at FireEye.
Cloud Security Assessments are based
on the latest ways that attackers bypass
cloud security measures, as observed
on the frontlines by FireEye Mandiant
experts. Available on the most popular
cloud-based platforms, including Microsoft
Office 365, Microsoft Azure, Amazon
Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud,
these assessments address common
misconfigurations and issues with how
organisations utilise and integrate the cloud
into their existing IT and security programs.
