- Mandiant Managed Defense
Best for: Enterprises that want incident-response-grade expertise behind detection
Mandiant Managed Defense fits mid-market and enterprise and is cloud-delivered. Choose it when the value you are buying is the incident response bench behind the SOC: organizations that expect to face targeted adversaries tend to weigh that more heavily than per-endpoint pricing.
