Cyber Intelligence Against Cyber Threats

There are many advanced cyber threat security solutions available on the market today. For example, FireEye (NASDAQ: FEYE) pioneered the advanced threat detection market with the introduction of its Multi-Vector Execution (MVX) engine for network security and today, FireEye’s intelligent, cloud-first XDR platform delivers unmatched detection, protection, and response. Their product suite was sold in 2021 to Symphony Technology Group (STG), leaving them to concentrate on Mandiant Advantage SaaS security management and orchestration platform, which was in turn listed independently on the NASDAO, and is soon to be acquired by Google Cloud, according to CEO Kevin Mandia.

Cybersecurity by Mandiant supported by their Mandiant Advantage SaaS platform

For the past 18 years, Mandiant has delivered unparalleled frontline expertise and industry-leading threat intelligence. Mandiant’s more than 600 consultants currently respond to thousands of security breaches each year. Paired with research from more than 300 intelligence analysts, these resulting insights are what power Mandiant’s dynamic cyber defense solutions – delivered through the managed multi-vendor XDR platform, Mandiant Advantage.

Today, organizations are facing cybersecurity challenges that have accelerated in frequency, severity and diversity, creating a global security imperative. To address these risks, enterprises need to be able to detect and respond to adversaries quickly; analyze and automate threat intelligence to scale threat detection across organizations; orchestrate and automate remediation; validate their protection against known threats; and visualize their IT environment in order to identify and simulate new threats. The cloud represents a new way to change the security paradigm by helping organizations address and protect themselves against entire classes of cyber threats, while also rapidly accelerating digital transformation.

Since 2004, Mandiant® has been a trusted partner to security-conscious organizations. Effective security is based on the right combination of expertise, intelligence, and adaptive technology, and the Mandiant Advantage SaaS platform scales decades of frontline experience and industry-leading threat intelligence to deliver a range of dynamic cyber defense solutions. Mandiant’s approach helps organizations develop more effective and efficient cyber security programs and instills confidence in their readiness to defend against and respond to cyber threats.

Mandiant’s mission is to make every organization secure from cyber threats and confident in their cyber security readiness. We have relentlessly pursued this objective by scaling our expertise and intelligence through our Mandiant Advantage SaaS platform. 

Mandiant intends to be the best cyber security company in the world, with a single platform that blends expertise, intelligence and technology to make Mandiant a seamless extension of your security operations. 

Hardware Solutions

Cybersecurity requires vigilance and intelligence, but also speed. You have to intercept and evaluate the package without holding up the flow of data, yet flag it and possibly eliminate it before it can do any damage.

You also have to be faster than the hackers and state actors who threaten us, and you have to be versatile. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are ideal for the job. They are as fast or faster than a CPU, but can be changed and amended on-demand by the user in response to fast-changing threats. Thus you can program you application right into th heart of your hardware for maximum speed, yet change it when you need to for maximum flexibility and versatility.

But FPGAs are complicated. To that end, we sell a wide range of “FPGA Accelerator Boards”. These cards fit easily into PCIe slots for fast communication with the host computer, yet have extensive onboards memory and external networking ports for high bandwidth throughput. Coupled with programming tools such as oneAPI ad VeriLog, your FPGA is immediately application-ready to tackle cybercrime threats and combat cyber attacks.

Information Security implies sophisticated systems and real time computation speed.  Cryptographic algorithms fulfil specific information security requirements such as data integrity, confidentiality and authenticity. FPGA-based cyber-solutions integrate hardware that incorporates cryptographic algorithms and accelerates cipher functions used in the Scalable Encryption Algorithm (SEA), Message Digest Algorithm (MD5), and Secured Hash Algorithm (SHA2).

We proudly represent Bittware, amongst others, whose boards target cybersecurity and SigInt signals intelligence. Presentations at Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) highlight solutions that primarily target signal and network packet processing applications and support high-accuracy time stamping.

For latency-sensitive applications and co-processing requirements and with a network interface, cyber security capabilities and host-to-carrier acceleration serve applications in radar, EW electronic warfare, networking ,and SigInt integration and development of cyber defences while off-loading standard host applications.

This hardware features high densities and a power-efficient FPGA fabric married with a rich feature set including hard floating-point DSP blocks and preconfigured physical interfaces and infrastructure.

PCIe-based FPGA accelerator cards offers both inline and lookaside acceleration. They provide the performance and versatility of FPGA acceleration and support Intel’s Acceleration Stack for Intel® Xeon® CPU with FPGAs. This acceleration stack provides a common developer interface for both application and accelerator function developers, and includes drivers, application programming interfaces (APIs), and an FPGA interface manager. Together with acceleration libraries and development tools, the acceleration stack saves developers time and enables code re-use across multiple Intel FPGA platforms. To help protect systems from FPGA-hosted security exploits, a Root-of-Trust device enables more secure loading of authorized workloads and board updates, and enforces policies to help prevent unauthorized access to critical board interfaces and flash memory.

Mandiant (NASDAQ: MNDT) agrees to be acquired by Google

“There has never been a more critical time in cybersecurity. Since our founding in 2004, Mandiant’s mission has been to combat cyber attacks and protect our customers from the latest threats,” said Kevin Mandia, CEO, Mandiant. “To that end, we are thrilled to be joining forces with Google Cloud.
