The alliance aims to develop integrated security systems and share threat intelligence, and lists partners including Google, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne and Microsoft as founding members. Top cybersecurity vendors have joined Mandiant’s newly launched Cyber Alliance Program, formed to help develop integrated security systems and share threat intelligence.The alliance, announced this week, is open to partners offering a wide variety of applications for endpoint, network, and cloud security, as well as identity, authentication, security information, and event management.Mandiant is no stranger to cybersecurity partnerships. In April, it announced a partnership with CrowdStrike, in a deal that will allow Mandiant to use the CrowdStrike Falcon endpoint protection platform and subscription offerings for its own incident response and consulting services.Mandiant will also be working to integrate its offerings with Google Cloud Platform, when its acquisition by the cloud giant closes as expected later this year. “Mandiant has been building a strong partner integration ecosystem for years and we’ve re-envisioned our partner program from the ground up,” said Marshall Heilman, chief technology officer at Mandiant, in a blog post. The launch of the alliance will allow Mandiant and its partners to merge threat intelligence, validation, incident response, and managed services through product platforms, Heilman said.Partnership benefits of the Mandiant Cyber Alliance Program include access to threat intelligence, technical integration into the Mandiant Advantage platform, exclusive sponsorship, and partner opportunities at Mandiant mWISE events, among others.
