About Mandiant

Mandiant is an American cybersecurity company acquired by Google LLC in 2022 for $5.4 billion and now operating as part of Google Cloud. Founded in 2004 by Kevin Mandia, the company is globally recognized for advanced persistent threat (APT) attribution, incident response, and cyber threat intelligence. Mandiant's threat intelligence unit identified and named major nation-state hacking groups including APT1 (China's PLA Unit 61398), APT28/Fancy Bear (Russian GRU), APT29/Cozy Bear (Russian SVR), and APT33 (Iranian IRGC). The company's landmark 2013 report on APT1 was a watershed moment in public attribution of Chinese state-sponsored cyberattacks against US defense contractors and critical infrastructure. Mandiant provides cyber threat intelligence to the US government, defense contractors, NATO allies, and Fortune 500 companies. The M-Trends annual report is the authoritative benchmark for global cyber threat landscape assessment used by CISOs and government policymakers. Post-acquisition, Mandiant intelligence is integrated into Google's Chronicle SIEM platform and VirusTotal threat database, significantly expanding its reach into government security operations.
