Mandiant; a leader in threat intelligence with expertise gained on the frontlines of cyber security, is ready to take part in the much-anticipated event of the year, GITEX 2023.
Jamil Abu Aqel, Head of Mandiant systems engineering for MEA and Emerging region, Google Cloud, gave a quick insight into the company’s plan for the global event.
• What innovation your brand is bringing to GITEX 2023?
At GITEX 2023, Mandiant will be focusing on the most pressing cybersecurity issues of our time. These include supply chain vulnerabilities, ransomware, and geopolitical threats. We invite you to experience our Mandiant Advantage platform firsthand at the exhibition. This integrated solution encompasses Threat Intelligence, Attack Surface Management, Security Validation, and Breach Analytics. Our platform is designed to address key challenges in the cybersecurity landscape, such as the shortage of skilled resources, the increasing sophistication of threat actors, and the complexity of managing security controls.
Mandiant has been at the forefront of mitigating some of the world’s most high-profile cyber-attacks and we are committed to providing solutions that empower organizations to defend against evolving threats.
We look forward to seeing you at GITEX 2023 and discussing how Mandiant can support your cybersecurity needs.
• What are the set milestones that you are looking forward to achieving by the end of this event?
As we gear up for GITEX 2023, there are several milestones that Mandiant is eager to achieve. In the ever-challenging cyber landscape, we are pioneering the use of generative AI (genAI) to augment defenses. Our commitment to harnessing genAI aims to stop threats, reduce toil, and scale cybersecurity talent. This technology enables quicker threat detection and response, reduces the burden on security specialists, and bridges the talent gap in the cybersecurity industry.
Additionally, in light of the ‘Zero-Day Summer’ and the increasing complexity of the cybersecurity landscape, we are also focused on helping enterprises understand their current and emerging threat actors. This year has seen a rise in zero-day vulnerabilities, with a significant portion targeting governments and sectors like technology and telecommunications. Cybercriminals are also leveraging zero-days in financially motivated attacks like ransomware.
At GITEX 2023, our goal is to assist enterprises in acquiring a comprehensive understanding of their security measures, as well as the knowledge and intelligence supporting them. The key takeaway we aim to impart is the importance of being prepared. We strongly believe that the time to test the preparedness of your security team should not be during a security incident. Leverage Mandiant to help you detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats more efficiently.
