Google acquired Mandiant to compete against Microsoft’s security services

In recent years, Microsoft has emerged as a competing company in cybersecurity, with a broad range of security and a unique view of business applications, cloud workloads, and devices.

Crowdstrike has posted its impact and impressive growth, proving to be a serious challenge for at least some parts of Microsoft’s security business (endpoint in particular).

Google Cloud may be the first company to challenge Microsoft’s security environment.

During a press conference, Google’s acquisition of Mandient announced the possibility of offering businesses a helping hand to help them stay afloat at every stage of the security lifecycle.

Mandient adds significant security to the company’s well-known incident response (IR) service, the Google Cloud. Mandis’ platform includes Danger Intelligence, Security Check, Automatic Defence, Attack Area Management, and Managed Defense.

Mandiant also provides strategic preparedness, technical security, and “cyber defense transformation” by helping clients develop and mature their security stance.

SOC SUPPORT:

According to Gartner’s vice president of research, Google Cloud’s approach to customers is quite different from Microsoft’s.

Microsoft is trying to support all of its products and services to ensure customers’ safety. At the same time, “Google is a little more interested in supporting the SOC,” says FirstBrook.

Therefore, Google Cloud ensures customers have “everything they need” for their SOC team. It means,” he said. Firstbrook.

Mandient helps in this area:

During today’s press conference, Mandiant CEO Kevin Mandia said his company would have the freedom to support an environment that “uses many different security technologies to protect itself.”

Mandia said the merger of Mandient and Google Cloud allows us to be the brain behind many controls that people depend on. Mandient, plus Google Cloud, “works with all the different services that people rely on,” he said.

We can work with your environment regardless of the closing point [security] you use; Regardless of whether you proceed, we can use SimpliFi’s ability to go through repair alerts [and] use the information about mandatory threats to turn on better telemetry, Mandia says. In January, Google Safety Analytics and a provider of safety orchestration, automation, and response technology, SiamLife, was developed.

Deal with inter-compilation between Chronicles and many other techniques; “They work with each firewall company, work with all the endpoint companies, and work with records generated from different applications,” Mandia says.

PARTNERSHIP OPTIMIZATION:

The difference between Google Cloud and Microsoft’s security policies should be clear in a recent interview, said Sunil Poti, vice-president, and general manager of Google Cloud’s security department. To address the many different areas of cyber security, “Microsoft has decided to build them itself,” he said.

On the other hand, Google has “selected several markets that we think the cloud provider should serve” and only offers first-party products in those regions, Poti says.

But for each of these first-party products, we’ll create an ecosystem of partnerships, Poti says. Again, unlike Microsoft, which wants to touch everything, Poti said.

‘SHOT OVER THE PORT’, SAYS ‘SHOT THROUGH THE SHOT:

According to industry experts, Google Cloud has met Microsoft to buy Indians. Microsoft, in fact, before the failure of those discussions, reportedly proposed Mandient, and Google Cloud intervened.

According to Forrester analyst Eli Mellon, acquiring a strong service provider like Mandientes is the next important step in meeting the range of its offerings to lead in security on multiple fronts.

Mandients are a great option to enable such aspirations.

“Mandients has a strong brand and reputation,” said HAC Thomas, CEO of Strategic Cyber ​​Ventures. “He’s the best at whatever he does. There’s no way he won’t kill.”

Benefit Partner:

In the latest interview with VentureBeat, Sunil Poti, Vice-President, and General Supervisor, Google Cloud Security Company, said the difference between Google Cloud and Microsoft’s approach to security should be clear.

“Microsoft has been clear that they need to compete in the safety of all allies and everyone,” Poti said. When it comes to the solution unit for various areas in cyber security, “Microsoft chose to build it themselves,” he said.

However, Google has chosen “several markets that we envision ourselves, cloud suppliers, to operate in,” and only first-party goods in this area mentioned hard work.

“However, around each of these first-party trades, we will create an ecosystem that takes advantage of friends,” he said. Potti said, once again, “unlike Microsoft, which needs to touch everything”.

Microsoft declined to comment on the text when it turned to VentureBeat.

Managed Companies:

Notably, with Mandarin, Google Cloud will not only be able to compete in the “end-to-end” security arena. Still, it will also hold a grip with Microsoft regarding managed security services. The truth that Microsoft itself is skeptical at the thought of buying it is symbolic.

FirstBrook said security shipping facilities would be more important amid a lack of permanent cyberspace security expertise.

“Nobody has enough to protect enough people,” he said. “If you want to promote the product [security], it is now necessary to ship it as a service. It is not enough to promote just one software program because many consumers do not have that person’s software.” program can be used.

And in that tone, Google Cloud’s ultimate goal is to make security “invisible” to customers, the potty words – “mechanically bring excellent hygiene under a blanket, and only tell you a problem that deserves attention.”,

In the future, the real difference could be “how much fun and what you don’t,” he said. “Because security is still wounded.”
