CrowdStrike, Mandiant Team Up
April 12, 2022
CrowdStrike started a strategic partnership that will help joint
customers investigate, remediate and defend against increasingly
sophisticated cybersecurity events that plague organizations
globally. As part of the collaboration, Mandiant will utilize the
CrowdStrike Falcon platform and subscription offerings for its
incident response (IR) services and proactive consulting engagements
for joint customers. Further, the Mandiant Managed Defense offering
intends to include support for customers leveraging the Falcon
platform later this year.
As two of the most respected leaders in the cybersecurity industry,
CrowdStrike and Mandiant share a common mission to stop breaches and
put customers' needs first. Both companies have long operated under
the practice that in order to defend against tenacious cyber
adversaries, there must be a combination of cutting edge products
and elite cybersecurity experts. Because of this, both companies
have embraced an open and collaborative approach with high caliber
partners and technologies to provide organizations superior
protection.
“Today’s
complex threat environment calls for a collaborative approach that
brings together industry-leading technologies and world class teams
to build the strongest defense for customers, which is exactly what
this partnership is about,” said George Kurtz, co-founder and chief
executive officer of CrowdStrike. “CrowdStrike has worked with
Mandiant many times over the years and there is a mutual respect for
the caliber of technical and team expertise we both bring to the
fight. We are proud to establish this alliance with them and to more
effectively enable the people, processes and procedures necessary to
secure the modern organization.”
“CrowdStrike and Mandiant have developed reputations as go-to
cybersecurity resources for public and private sector entities
across the globe,” said Kevin Mandia, chief executive officer of
Mandiant. “This partnership between two mission-focused companies
strengthens cyber defenses at a time when cyber attacks have become
a notable business issue faced by organizations every day.” |
