Overview

Mandiant offers a variety of courses as part our mission to share what we know with the security professionals who need it most. We equip Fortune 500 executives, law enforcement officials and independent security consultants with the knowledge and skill they need to face the latest cyber threats. Courses are available for security professionals at all levels, from beginner to expert.

All courses are taught by experts with hundreds, or even thousands of hours of first-hand experience responding to and defending against aggressive and sophisticated cyber crimes. In fact, much of the material for exercises and operational scenarios are based on actual security incidents for maximum impact.
