At Mandiant, we understand that cyber security practitioners are often “in the zone”—a mindset and special place that requires extreme focus and unbroken concentration. Yet security teams are regularly distracted by alerts and other action items that require quick decision making in order to protect the organization. Workflow disruption, for instance when switching between applications, is also a major distraction resulting in loss of focus, extended work cycles, frustration or—worse—missed critical events.

We believe this is critical to security success and have made it also available for subscribers of Mandiant Advantage Free, a no-cost access subscription to our Advantage SaaS Platform
