Marshall Heilman, executive vice president and CTO, Mandiant

Mandiant had the opportunity to become truly vendor-agnostic once the company sold its FireEye products business, since renamed Trellix, to Symphony Technology Group in October, according to executive vice president and chief technology officer Marshall Heilman. Heilman says Mandiant has therefore pursued deep integrations with all the leading vendors in the endpoint security space.

Heilman has more than 20 years of experience in cybersecurity, holding executive leadership and technical roles. He has worked at Mandiant for the last 15 years.
