Mandiant, Inc. (NASDAQ: MNDT) today announced the launch of
Mandiant® Worldwide Information Security Exchange or mWISE™. A

The fight against malicious cyber activity cannot be won
alone––by one company or one individual. This is why Mandiant has
evolved its successful Cyber Defense Summit to launch mWISE.
Unbound by vendor influence, the new event programming series seeks
to become the platform where the global cyber security community
comes together to share knowledge and drive effective change.
“Mandiant is on a mission to make every organization secure from
cyber threats and confident in their readiness,” said Kevin Mandia,
Chief Executive Officer at Mandiant. “The launch of mWISE is
another way we want to unite the security community to collectively
defend the cyber domain. By assembling leaders on the front lines,
we can all leverage lessons learned from our shared
experiences.”
mWISE event programming series
mWISE will initially feature two signature annual events: mWISE
CISO Summit and mWISE Conference. An invitation-only event, the
mWISE CISO Summit will kick off this August and bring together
CISOs to discuss the most pressing threats, both current and on the
horizon.
The mWISE Conference will be open to the broader cyber security
community, from those on the frontlines to the C-suite. Conference
themes will be driven by the community and content will be
developed by an independent committee of experts and be relevant
for all industries.
The 2022 Conference will take place October 18-20 in Washington,
D.C., along with a virtual option. Featured track topics and
focuses include:
- Intelligence collection and analysis: Focus on the
current state of play in cyber threat intelligence; recent
advancements in tools, technologies, and methodologies to track
cyber adversary groups; and ways to effectively communicate
analytic findings to minimize cyber risk exposure. Additional areas
covered in this track include research and analysis processes;
combatting analytic cognitive biases; the evolution of enrichment
data sources; cyber adversary tradecraft; and developing key skills
to succeed within the cyber threat intelligence discipline.
- Security engineering: Focus on building and maintaining
security posture by incorporating security controls into systems to
prevent misuse and malicious behavior and maintain security
policies.
- Security operations: Focus on critical areas related to
security issues on an organizational and technical level, centered
on people, processes and technology for managing and enhancing an
organization’s security posture and preventing, detecting,
analyzing and responding to cybersecurity incidents.
- Cyber threats and exploits: Focus on attacks and
exploits aimed at damaging or disrupting computer networks or
systems through unauthorized access, destruction, disclosure,
modification of information, and/or denial of service.
- Software development security: Focus on the software
development process and protecting software against malicious
attacks and other risks so that the software continues to function
correctly.
- Third-party cyber risk management: Focus on the ongoing
process of discovering, correcting, and preventing security
problems, and implanting plans to address future risks.
“The fight against cyber threats can only be won through
industry collaboration,” said Arthur W. Coviello Jr., Partner, SYN
Ventures. “Events free of vendor influence like the mWISE
Conference offer a gathering place for the entire security
community to amplify ideas and work together to bolster
solutions.”
