NEWS 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.
