QUICKLY AND CONFIDENTLY ANSWER THE QUESTION “CAN WE BE BREACHED BY THE LATEST
ATTACK?”

Security Validation taps into Mandiant frontline threat intelligence and early
knowledge of the latest and emerging adversarial threats most relevant to your
organization to guide targeted testing of your defenses. This is an automated
and continuous testing program that gives your security team real data on how
your security controls behavior under attack, so you can address changes
required in your security environment before an attack occurs.

Cyber Security Validation Benefits


PROVE EFFECTIVENESS

Safely test your security controls against the most prevalent attacks and
malware families to prove your security is protecting critical assets.

Cyber Security Validation Benefits


REDUCE RISK

Automated testing with access to relevant and active attack data from the
Mandiant Intel Grid assists teams in identifying gaps, misconfigurations, and
opportunities for optimization across your security environment.


OPTIMIZE & RATIONALIZE INVESTMENTS

Make data-driven decisions by capturing the quantifiable data you need to prove
the value of your current security stack while determining areas for future
investment.

AM I PREPARED FOR THE NEXT RANSOMWARE ATTACK?

Daily headlines reveal how often organizations of every size and industry fall
victim to today’s prevalent ransomware attacks.  To understand if your
organization is prepared for a ransomware attack, learn more about Mandiant
Advantage Ransomware Defense Validation. Ransomware Defense Validation is an
automated and continuous SaaS-based service augmented by Mandiant experts, that
quickly and safely tells you whether your security controls can prevent
ransomware and identifies changes required to improve your ransomware defenses.
 




DEMONSTRATE COMPETENCY AND OPTIMIZE YOUR DEFENSES

Until now, there has been no measurable way for SOC teams or CISOs to
demonstrate the value of their security investments. Security Validation
provides you with visibility and performance data to report on your
organization's security posture and overall competency. This approach allows you
to prioritize your risk optimization strategy based on the knowledge of which
threats matter most to your organization.

WHITE PAPER


WHAT THE ANALYSTS SAY

The SANS Institute’s John Hubbard looks at the research and the concept of
measuring security controls effectiveness. He concludes that not all security
validation options are created equal. A test is only as good as it is current
and representative of the real world. This paper takes a close look at a modern
security validation solution. And his analysis can help organizations cut
straight to the most important components to look for when considering a
security validation solution.

CYBERSECURITY TESTING AND VALIDATION FAQ

Can an organization prevent the next cyber attack? expand_more

CISOs and their security teams are frequently confronted with this critical
question. To confidently answer, “Yes,” an organization needs to understand the
effectiveness of its security defenses and prevention capabilities ensure that
these controls are as working as expected. Prevention starts with proactive
threat intelligence on who or what may be targeting the organization and other
organizations in similar industries or the same region. Organizations also need
to continually run automated evaluations of those specific threats against their
prevention security controls.

What is security validation? expand_more

Security validation is an automated and continuous approach to testing the
efficacy of an organization's security controls against cyber threats.

Is security validation a Breach and Attack Simulation technology (BAS)?
expand_more

Security validation is distinctly different from attack simulation technologies.
Security validation includes vast integrations with defensive technologies and
attack execution across the the entire enterprise security environment. It is
not limited to endpoint security controls. It uses real, active attack binaries
to test the effectiveness of security controls. Attacks are emulated, not
simulated or altered, and include full attack lifecycle visibility. In fact,
altered attacks are frequently not recognized as threats by security controls
and machine learning contributes further challenges when using simulated or fake
attacks.

How does security validation work? expand_more

Security Validation is informed by timely threat intelligence and executes
automated and continuous testing of security controls with the use of real
attacks. Although there are different approaches to testing security
effectiveness, the emulation of real attack behaviors and malware against an
organization’s security controls and across the entire security stack enable the
capture of quantifiable data on how security controls perform under attack. This
approach to security validation provides visibility into gaps, misconfigurations
and the ability to identify areas for improvement to continuously optimize
security defenses against the most relevant threats.

What are the outcomes of security validation? expand_more

Data captured by security validation enables security teams to identify gaps,
misconfigurations, redundancies, lack of accurate SIEM correlation and alerting
within a security program and opportunities for continuous optimization and
measure of improvement over time.

Can security validation safely test against malware and ransomware attacks?
expand_more

Yes, there are certain security validation vendors that have the capability and
architecture to safely test an organization’s ability to detect or prevent
malware and ransomware attacks.

What are common use cases for security validation? expand_more
 * Evidence of security effectiveness (security infrastructure health)
 * Demonstrated value of security investments (spend rationalization)
 * Quantitative reporting to executives and non-technical stakeholders
 * Security framework assessments (MITRE ATT&CK Framework or NIST)
 * Technology evaluations
 * Operationalization of threat intelligence and threat actor assurance
 * Advanced malware and ransomware defense validation
 * Mergers and acquisitions
 * Cloud controls validation

How does Mandiant deploy security validation? expand_more
 * Mandiant Advantage Security Validation. Cloud-based security validation
   offering delivered through the Mandiant Advantage SaaS platform.
 * Validation as a service. Based on a customer’s desired business outcomes or
   specific threats, Mandiant offers continuous and automated validation and
   reporting solutions that use Mandiant validation technology, access to
   Mandiant experts and industry leading threat intelligence.
