Google is buying cybersecurity company Mandiant<\/a> in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $5.4 billion. <\/p>\n

Mandiant\u2019s operations, which draw on the work of more than 600 security consultants and more than 300 intelligence analysts, will be folded into Google Cloud to create an \u201cend-to-end security operations suite.\u201d A range of services will be offered, from consulting on cybersecurity to detecting upcoming threats and testing company\u2019s digital defenses. <\/p>\n

\u201cOrganizations around the world are facing unprecedented cybersecurity challenges as the sophistication and severity of attacks that were previously used to target major governments are now being used to target companies in every industry,\u201d Google Cloud\u2019s CEO Thomas Kurian said in a blog post<\/a>. \u201cWe look forward to welcoming Mandiant to Google Cloud to further enhance our security operations suite and advisory services, and help customers address their most important security challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n
