Strengthen cyber defenses with centralized security controls
Mandiant's report, "Preparing for Cyber Defense and Maintaining Security Control," advises on creating a unified cyber defense center. It highlights six functions: threat intelligence, hunting, detection, response, validation, and command-and-control—the latter being the core for governance, collaboration, and expertise sharing. Without it, teams may be disjointed, weakening responses. The report illustrates their synergy in a ransomware case, underscoring the importance of continuous incident assessment and tracking to enhance the center's efficiency.
