IDC MarketScape names Google a Leader in Worldwide Incident Response
We are proud to announce that Google is positioned in the Leaders Category in the 2025 IDC MarketScape for worldwide incident response services. We believe this recognition highlights Mandiant’s over two decades of experience responding to some of the world’s most complex and high-impact cyber incidents.
As a core part of Google Cloud Security, Mandiant benefits from unparalleled access to Google’s global infrastructure, engineering resources, and threat intelligence, while maintaining its vendor-agnostic approach and consulting independence.
According to the report, “A key differentiator is Mandiant's integration with Google's SecOps platform, which enables rapid deployment of investigative capabilities without the need for lengthy software installations. This allows Mandiant to begin triage and scoping within hours, leveraging existing client telemetry and augmenting it with proprietary forensic tools like FACT and Monocle. These tools allow for deep forensic interrogation of endpoints and orchestration of data collection at enterprise scale — capabilities that go beyond what traditional EDR platforms offer.”

“Organizations that seek to work with a globally capable IR firm with strong threat intelligence capabilities and that utilizes a holistic approach to incident response that goes beyond the technical portions should consider Google."
