What products does FireEye sell?
Summary of the Article: What is FireEye and its products
FireEye is a cybersecurity company that offers products and solutions to help organizations prevent, detect, and respond to advanced malware and cyber attacks. Their products are designed to tackle security threats that conventional signature-reliant defenses often fail to address.
FireEye recently sold its products business, including the FireEye name, to a consortium led by private-equity firm Symphony Technology Group for $1.2 billion. This deal will separate their cyber forensics unit, Mandiant Solutions, from their network, email, and cloud security products.
FireEye’s acquisition by Symphony Technology Group took place last fall, and Google has plans to acquire Mandiant for approximately $5.4 billion in an all-cash deal.
One of FireEye’s key products is the FireEye Endpoint Security (FES) agent, which is a small software installed on servers and workstations. This agent provides protection against common malware as well as advanced attacks.
FireEye is considered a next-generation endpoint detection and response (EDR) software, replacing Window System Center Endpoint Protection and Avast Antivirus in certain environments.
FireEye is not owned by McAfee. Symphony Technology Group acquired McAfee Enterprise for $4 billion in July and then acquired a significant portion of FireEye for $1.2 billion in October.
Since its acquisition, FireEye is now known as a Symphony Technology Group company.
FireEye and McAfee were acquired and merged into the new Trellix brand by Symphony Technology Group. Trellix is based in California.
FireEye has a range of customers, including Global Payments, Inc., University of Iowa, Bank Mandiri Tbk, and Euronet Worldwide, Inc.
The change in FireEye’s name reflects the company’s strategy to focus on developing security controls-agnostic solutions delivered through the Mandiant Advantage cloud-based platform.
