Welcome New CIDM Member—FireEye  FireEye learned that technology alone isn’t enough to combat cyber attackers, which is why our solution takes a three-pronged approach that combines innovative security technologies, world-renowned expertise, and deep threat intelligence capabilities. Unlike other solutions, we address the entire security operations lifecycle — every critical issue before, during and after an attack.
We also understand the challenges and complexities that you face as you try to protect your organization against ever-evolving threats such as a shortage of security experts, inefficient processes complex technologies, and multiple siloed point products. The FireEye security-as-a-service approach simplifies, extends and augments your current security operations so that you can deliver the best security where and when you need it: in the public or private cloud, on premise or hybrid environment, in the network or at the endpoint.
