FireEye Unveils On Demand Security Service, Threat Intelligence Suite

Threat protection firm FireEye has announced new offerings designed to provide customers with on-demand access to its cyber defense technology, intelligence, and analysts expertise on a subscription basis.

Threat protection firm FireEye has announced new offerings designed to provide customers with on-demand access to its cyber defense technology, intelligence, and analysts expertise on a subscription basis.

Designed to help enterprises scale their defense strategies, the new offerings provide customers with a single point of contact to meet their needs before, during or after a security incident.

The new FireEye as a Service offering is an on-demand security management offering that allows organizations to leverage FireEye’s technology, intelligence and expertise to discover and thwart cyber attacks.

The second new offering, FireEye Advanced Threat Intelligence, provides access to threat data and analytical tools that help identify attacks and provide context about the tactics and motives of specific threat actors, FireEye said.

Combined, the solutions are designed to equip enterprise security teams so they can implement an Adaptive Defense security model, an approach for defending against advanced threat actors that scales up or down based on the unique needs of each security organization.

“The new FireEye Advanced Threat Intelligence offering adds two new capabilities to complement FireEye’s existing Dynamic Threat Intelligence subscription,” the company explained in its announcement. “First, when the FireEye Threat Prevention Platform identifies an attack, users will now be able to view intelligence about the attackers and the malware. Security teams will be able to see who the associated threat actor is, what their likely motives are, and get information about the malware and other indicators they can use to search for the attackers.”

Additionally, a new threat intelligence research service allows customers to subscribe to ongoing research including dossiers, trends, news and analysis on advanced threat groups as well as profiles of targeted industries, including information about the types of data that threat groups target.

Other highlights of FireEye as a Service include:

Detection of Adversaries and their Actions – FireEye analysts staff an around the clock global network of security operations centers to hunt for attackers in an environment using FireEye technology and advanced analytics that identifies outliers and correlates them with behaviors of known attackers. By finding high-risk threats at the earliest stages of an attack, FireEye minimizes the risk of a breach.

Ability to Pivot to Incident Response – With FireEye as a Service, organizations can quickly engage a Mandiant incident response team when needed.

Access to Personalized Intelligence Reports — FireEye as a Service customers get access to key intelligence findings and judgments specific to their organization from the FireEye intelligence team. This includes identification of attackers specifically targeting their industry, typical attack methodologies used by relevant adversaries, and key business or financial data that motivates attackers to target your organization.

“We need to analyze the environment to address the attacks that penetrate an organization’s perimeter and bypass preventive measures,” FireEye COO, Kevin Mandia, wrote in a blog post. “And then ultimately, when we understand an attack well enough, contain it to get back to normal business operations. To succeed in today’s cyber-threat environment this cycle must shrink – from alert to fix in months, to alert to fix in minutes – in order to eliminate the consequences of a security breach.”

With FireEye as a Service, customers have the option to manage their own security operations, offload security operations to FireEye, or co-manage operations with FireEye or a FireEye partner.

Both new offerings are available as a subscription to customers that have purchased FireEye products. Pricing for ongoing monitoring starts at $10,000 per month for smaller clients needing full support and. For larger organizations the price is much higher.

Organizations pay a subscription fee and account for the service as an operational expense or pay up front and account for it as a capital expense, FireEye said.
