Mandiant Inc, the leader in dynamic cyber defense and response, announced a new strategic partnership with Splunk Inc., a data platform leader, to help enterprise organisations validate their security stacks and defend against emerging threats.
As an extension of this relationship, Mandiant Security Validation customers can now leverage validation data directly in the Splunk platform via the Mandiant Advantage app, empowering organizations to identify security gaps, reduce risk and improve their overall security posture.
Security validation is more important than ever before, especially with adversaries becoming increasingly sophisticated and targeted in their attacks.
Mandiant Security Validation for Splunk brings together Mandiant’s frontline security intelligence and expertise with Splunk analytics, automation and scale.
The alliance allows Splunk customers to validate and continuously measure the effectiveness of cyber security controls across people, processes and technology.
The controls-agnostic solution is designed to deliver the quantitative evidence needed for security teams to identify and implement opportunities to rationalise their security investments and identify duplicate or outdated security tools.
Commenting on the partnership, Splunk Vice President Security Products Jane Wong said organisations today are up against a number of security challenges, making identifying and responding to threats increasingly difficult.
“We are thrilled to partner with Mandiant to arm our joint customers with the solutions and insights needed to navigate complexities, as well as remain agile against continually evolving threats,” said Jane Wong.
