New Tactics. New Motives. New Services.

Every day at Mandiant we respond to some of the largest cyber
security incidents around the world. This gives us a front-row seat
to witness what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to finding
attackers and preventing them from stealing our clients’ data.

Attackers’ tactics and motives are evolving and as a result our
security strategies also need to adapt. Today, we announced two new service offerings that
will further help our clients improve their protective, detective,
and responsive security controls and leverage Mandiant’s extensive
experience responding to some of the most serious cyber security
incidents.

Our first new service offering addresses attackers’
expanding motives. We are starting to see attackers with destructive
motives and what could be more damaging than attacking a nation’s
critical infrastructure. Security incidents at critical
infrastructure such as electric power grids, utilities and
manufacturing companies can affect the lives of hundreds of
thousands of people. Our new Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security Gap
Assessment is specifically focused on helping these industries –
and others that use SCADA systems – to assess their existing
security processes for industrial control systems. The service helps
identify security GAPs and provides specific recommendations to
close those GAPs and safeguard critical infrastructure.

Our
second new service offering is designed to help organizations
address the challenges they face as they build out their own
internal security operations program and incident response teams.
Many organizations want to enhance their internal capabilities
beyond the traditional security operations centers (SOCs). Our new
Cyber Defense Center Development service helps
organizations evolve their internal SOC by improving the visibility
(monitoring and detection) and response capabilities (incident
response) necessary to defend against advanced threats. This service
looks at existing people, process, and technologies and identifies
areas for improvement. It helps companies to identify and prioritize
the alerts that require the most immediate action with the goal to
reduce the mean time to remediation.

If either of these new
services sound like something that could help your organization let us
know.
