Cyberdefense and response company Mandiant is offering a new Ransomware Defense Validation service for its SaaS-based XDR (extended detection and response) platform, Mandiant Advantage, to help organizations measure the ability of their security systems to prevent ransomware attacks.
The subscription service, now generally available, is designed to combine threat intelligence, ransomware reconfiguration capabilities, and an automated validation infrastructure to help security leaders understand how effectively their existing security controls can prevent specific ransomware attacks and multifaceted extortion campaigns.
