Mandiant is a recognized leader in dynamic cyber defense, threat intelligence and incident response services. By scaling decades of frontline experience, Mandiant helps organizations to be confident in their readiness to defend against and respond to cyber threats. Mandiant is now part of Google Cloud.

Attack surface data is the ever-increasing amount of information that attackers can use to exploit vulnerabilities in an organization's systems and networks. One of the biggest challenges in parsing through attack surface data is its sheer volume and complexity. Attackers are constantly developing new techniques and tools to exploit vulnerabilities, and organizations need to be able to keep up. 
This means that security teams need to be able to quickly and accurately identify and prioritize vulnerabilities, even if they are buried in a sea of data.

Join the Mandiant team for a live discussion on outcome-based asset discovery, an easy-to-use method of understanding attack surface exposures. The team will discuss and demo:
- How to define the outcomes or success criteria of asset discovery 
- The various use cases external attack surface management can solve for
- The different ways to operationalize attack surface findings across the organization

Building a Proactive Strategy to Exposure Management

Threat intelligence provides security teams with insights into the kinds of attacks that may target their organizations and prioritize their security activities. But what if the risk is coming from third-party partners and systems? In this webinar, experts discuss how security teams can use available threat intelligence to identify third-party risk and work with partners to mitigate them. Learn how to decide what to collect and how to correlate the information with internal data sources and those belonging to partners and suppliers to get the proper view of the threats. Walk away with practical tips on how to use threat intelligence to work with suppliers as part of an overall security strategy.

During this webinar you will:

- Pinpoint data streams most valuable for threat intelligence gathering.
- Identify data that can help identify potential third-party exposure.
- Get professional tips on how to work with suppliers to mitigate cybersecurity risk.

How to Use Threat Intelligence to Mitigate Third Party Risk

For cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to benefit both the defenders and their adversaries. 

Threat actors are using AI to instantly generate sophisticated and evasive attacks, while security teams are now using AI-powered security tools to better protect against them. Today, Mandiant consultants are leveraging AI to help defenders reduce the amount of time needed to detect, respond, and remediate these attacks. 
 
Tune into this webinar to learn how Mandiant consultants use AI on the front lines to improve engagement efficiency and effectiveness—alongside their hands-on expertise and embedded threat intelligence.
 
Attendees will learn from Mandiant speakers Trisha Alexander, Ron Craft, and Jennifer Guzzetta how to use AI as a starting point to:
• Accelerate the investigation process of incident response events
• Streamline the generation of baseline threat detections
• Apply diverse query languages for navigation across multiple security platforms

AI & Cybersecurity: How Mandiant Consultants Accelerate Detection & Response

Threat intelligence is foundational to all aspects of a security program, from SecOps to vulnerability management to risk management and leadership. However, many organizations struggle to operationalize threat intelligence across functions to reduce risk faster. Additionally, the volume can be unmanageable if you don’t know what threats are most critical to your organization.  

Mandiant (now part of Google Cloud) is leveraging AI to help security teams of all abilities see the threats that matter to them and use natural language to produce AI-driven search summarization.  

Watch this upcoming webinar as Mandiant Threat Intelligence experts— Josh Bass, Megan DeBlois, and TJ Alldridge—demonstrate the new AI capabilities in Mandiant Threat Intelligence and share best practices. Attendees will learn:
• Why a personalized threat profile is important to quickly understand your threats today
• How to leverage natural language search prompts for easy to action results
• How AI can help you quickly understand and reduce risk from emerging threats

Cyber Threat Brief - Insights into today’s top cyber security trends and attacks

Defending the frontlines of cybersecurity is a never-ending battle, with new advanced persistent threat (APT) groups lurking to steal data, compromise infrastructure, and interfere with victim business operations. FireEye’s newly named threat group, APT41 is no exception. Their aggressive and consistent mode of operation, and highly sophisticated tactics, distinguishes them from other adversaries making them a double threat to contend with. 
 
APT41 uniquely balances espionage activity concurrently with financially motivated activity driven by personal gain. Since 2012 FireEye has observed APT41 conduct in a wide range of operations including data theft, innovative supply-chain attacks, and the use of unique tools and targeting techniques. 

Join this webinar to hear FireEye Threat Intelligence experts, Jacqueline O’Leary, Raymond Leong and Dan Perez, provide:
 
•Insights into attribution and shared tactics between espionage and financially motivated operations
•Supply chain compromises attributed to APT41 activity
•Unique malware capabilities and techniques
•Details on connections to identified personas
