Too bad a firm like Mandiant was acquired by Google Cloud Division. The democrats should contract with European cyber firms like NVISO or Sygnia. In a corrupt environment, attackers (or compromised state actors) will attempt to alter system logs.

Reframing technical findings into business impact, benchmarking against peers, and empowering trusted advisors restored accountability and drove remediation. #Sygnia #IsraelNationalCyberDirectorate
