Mandiant introduces on-demand cyber intelligence training. The new training includes industry-leading threat intelligence reporting and real-world application scenarios from experienced Mandiant experts.
FireEye, the intelligence-based security company, announces the launch of Mandiant On-Demand Cyber Intelligence Training. Due to the steadily increasing number of cyber attacks, companies of all sizes are faced with the constant challenge of attracting and retaining talent and experts from the security sector. Today's security leaders need to rethink how they develop these talents.
Further training of security talents
With new training methods, for example, specialist knowledge about cyber threats can be built up in one's own company. The Mandiant On-Demand Cyber Intelligence Training therefore focuses on training security teams in the practical application of threat intelligence concepts - across different use cases from different industries in order to develop a wide range of skills.
“The combination of a shortage of cybersecurity experts and a rapidly changing cyber threat landscape makes training an indispensable component, especially in the area of threat intelligence,” says Sandra Joyce, Executive Vice President and Head of Mandiant Threat Intelligence. “That is the main reason we decided to develop an in-depth training program. This enables us to offer our customers the support they need to protect critical systems and data from ever-evolving threats. "
On demand and online
Many security officers lead teams distributed around the world, whose members cannot simply travel to the site for training courses. Mandiant On-Demand Cyber Intelligence Training gives security and risk managers the flexibility to support the onboarding of new security analysts and encourage the retention of seasoned team members through advanced training and practical application. The training consists of a mix of instructional videos on key business concepts taught by subject matter experts from Mandiant, as well as threat assessment training sessions to encourage further learning and multiple choice tests. The On-Demand Cyber Intelligence Training offers increased flexibility at an affordable price with 24-hour access a day.
