 “We have experienced significant demand for our education courses in a private training setting, and we want to provide the training to the public so individuals and small groups may hone their security skills while managing their security budgets,” commented Kevin Mandia, CEO.

 

MANDIANT also announced today that Dane Skagen has joined the company as its new Director of Education.  Mr. Skagen has more than fifteen years of training and training management experience gained through his years of service in both the commercial sector, most recently at Foundstone, and as a member of the United States Marine Corps.

 

Said Mandia, “Dane will be a tremendous asset to the company, and we’re excited to have him on board. His proven success as a trainer and a leader will be instrumental as we expand our education service offerings to the public.”
