Getting the Most Out of Your Mandiant Security Validation (MSV) Investment

The biggest problem with today’s approach to cybersecurity is that organizations are left in the dark about how effective their tools and people are at detecting threats. So they are left wondering, ”Are our cyber investments really worth the money?” SightGain for Mandiant Security Validation (MSV) makes it possible, for the first time, to analyze your cybersecurity personnel and processes to gain an understanding of how your entire system responds to threats.

SightGain has a long-standing partnership with Mandiant, and the SightGain Readiness platform integrates directly with MSV.

By combining empirical performance data from MSV with business information, SightGain identifies what parts of your cyber program you need to keep, what you need to invest in, and where you can save money. We can help demystify where your time and resources are going and help your business to make informed decisions going forward.

There’s a lot of power in your mandiant security validation investment, perhaps a lot more than you’re currently getting. Did you know you could use MSV to evaluate and train your personnel on production? With SightGain plus MSV, you can. Did you know that you can use MSV to provide the highest quality risk measures in the market? With MSV and SightGain, you can.

0:43 SightGain Adds Protection Capabilities

We’ve been working with Mandiant for over four years now, and serving their MSV customers. What we notice is there’s a significant opportunity to help with the personnel training side. So SightGain’s added a capability to come alongside MSV, and focus in on the evaluation and training of the SOC analysts.

In addition, by pairing MSV telemetry with business information, we can provide really robust and informative return on investment metrics for your technology, as well as your process enablers and personnel, and how much money you’re spending on your personnel in order to achieve your overall objectives.

1:13 SightGain Readiness Platform

So how do we do this? SightGain has built an application called the SightGain Readiness Platform, that comes alongside your MSV Instance to integrate, conduct jobs, as well as pull telemetry not only from MSV, but your other tools that are in your stack to really understand how the overall performance of your technology interfaces with your processes and ultimately serves your personnel.

And then with all of that system data, for the first time we can really understand how the overall system is responding, not just the technology, but the technology, the processes, and the people to inform your overall risk measure, and how much money you’ve spent on these things versus how much and how well they’re performing, and their ability to stop the threats that they face.

1:56 Cybersecurity Readiness Approach With Mandiant Security Validation

So SightGain comes alongside your MSV Instance to send jobs, as well as pull telemetry from MSV, and your ticketing system and your seam to really understand how the overall system, not just technology, but technology, processes, and personnel are performing in order to do their job to protect your system against the threats that they face, as well then once we understand that overall system performance, we can match that up with business information like costs, overall business objectives to understand how much risk these particular systems are buying down and how well they’re performing in order to understand what they’re return on investment are.

These are fundamental risk measures that we’re really excited to bring to the market because for the first time, an organization can empirically prove how they’re doing against the threat as well as then show how much that performance costs, and if there’s a good return on investment for your cybersecurity dollars.

2:57 Challenges To Overcome

The biggest challenge that we’ve seen our customers face with SightGain and MSV partnership is asking the right questions. Because once they realize they can actually get the return on investment for the technology, process, and personnel investments, they want to really dig into the details and understand is my firewall working, are my SOC analysts on night shift performing well, how much are we spending on this solution versus an alternative that can provide similar sort of coverage. How do all these things work to really make improvements that eventually improve performance but also potentially save money for the organization in terms of the overall costs for their cybersecurity.

So we’re excited to partner with Mandiant and potentially help you get more out of your MSV investment and answer important questions that your executive and board might be asking in terms of how prepared we are to stop these threats, how much are we spending on our personnel, are those investments worthwhile, and what we should do and what investments should we make. SightGain can help you answer these questions and more.
