Delivered through a one-stop-shop platform, Mandiant Advantage: Threat Intelligence leans on real-time information collected by over 300 researchers and analysts.

"By extending this timely look into what's happening across multiple Mandiant frontlines, organizations can more easily prioritize the threats that matter to them most right now," the company said.

Over time, more Mandiant Advantage SaaS products will be developed to "to augment and automate global security teams with controls-agnostic, actionable breach, adversary, operational and machine intelligence data."

Planned upgrades include validation on demand -- potentially including checks for email filter rules, database configuration, and operating system controls and updates -- as well as malware analysis as a service.

"We are now making emerging intelligence accessible to all defenders as it is discovered, regardless of the technology they have deployed," Sandra Joyce, executive VP of Mandiant Threat Intelligence at FireEye commented. "Now customers of all sizes have unprecedented access to the depth and breadth of threat intelligence Mandiant offers, appropriate to their budget and unique needs."
