Product Overview

Mandiant (part of Google Cloud)

Founded in 2004 by Kevin Mandia, Mandiant built a global reputation responding to the world's most high-profile breaches. After acquisition by FireEye in 2013 and by Google for ~$5.4B in 2022, the firm retained its brand and now operates inside Google Cloud as a specialist consultancy for incident response, threat intelligence, and offensive security.
