As the global leader in cyber threat intelligence, the iSIGHT team is excited to leverage the unmatched telemetry and victimology data from FireEye and Mandiant to further enhance our world-class intelligence. Integrating unmatched telemetry and victimology information with the iSIGHT analytics platform will enable us to quickly enrich our adversary insights and enhance the relevance, timeliness and quality of the ThreatScape intelligence we deliver to customers. In addition, understanding what country and sectors our threat indicators are firing in will greatly enhance our view into the entire threat development and proliferation lifecycle.
FireEye will leverage iSIGHT intelligence across their entire security product portfolio and FireEye as a Service offerings. Combining the worlds best intelligence with the most advanced product and service offerings in the market will quickly enhance FireEye protection, detection and response capabilities and further reduce risk for customers.
The Mandiant team will immediately leverage iSIGHT intelligence to enhance its world-renowned incident response and assessment capabilities. With access to the iSIGHT intelligence knowledge base, the Mandiant IR team will have an even better understanding of why an organization was attacked, a sharper picture of attacker TTPs, and the ability to quickly eradicate even the most advanced threats.
No matter which way you slice it, this is a huge win for our collective customers and reflects the most unique combination of intelligence, services, and technologies in the market. The iSIGHT Partners team is excited to join forces with the FireEye and Mandiant teams to fundamentally change the security industry and shift the balance of power back in favor of the good guys!
