With the Security Validation offering from FireEye’s Mandiant unit, the effectiveness of a customer’s security programs can be accurately measured on a daily basis—revealing a true picture of the customer’s security management technology. The Security Validation offering uses security instrumentation technology combined with threat intelligence and incident response data from the front lines. The result is that security teams are enabled to safely emulate real-world cyberattacks, delivering visibility into the performance of their security tools in protecting against a variety of attack behaviors. Customers can thus determine which improvements to invest in first on their cyberdefenses, as well as how to effectively—and quantifiably—communicate about their security risk.
