“As the threats we face grow increasingly sophisticated we needed the ability to rapidly detect and respond to targeted attacks that are engineered to circumvent our preventive defenses,” said Matt Morton, Global Security Architect with Ball Corporation. “MANDIANT Intelligent Response has the ability to monitor the tens of thousands of endpoints in our environment. With MANDIANT, we believe we can determine the scope of an attack so that we can respond faster, limit losses and minimize the disruption to our ongoing business.”

MIR combats advanced targeted threats by using MANDIANT’s precise intelligence about attackers’ techniques, tools and tactics to evaluate every endpoint within an organization and determine whether it has been compromised. When MIR identifies an attack, it enables an organization to minimize its effect by directing the response to the breach.

“Criminal and state-sponsored groups are constantly evolving the tactics they use to target, attack and infiltrate organizations’ IT environments,” said MANDIANT President and Chief Operating Officer Travis Reese. “While security breaches are inevitable, MIR equips organizations like Ball with the tools and intelligence to rapidly detect, respond and contain these threats.”

“Successful incident response and forensics require organizations to invest in both human and technology-driven intelligence in order to effectively limit the scope of attack and restore affected operations to normalcy,” said Andrew Hay, senior analyst with The 451 Group’s Enterprise Security Practice. "Investments in products like MANDIANT Intelligent Response reflect the increasing market demand for enterprise-grade incident response and forensics tools required to find a particular needle in a stack of needles.”
