> Mandiant is Google's incident response consulting business Consulting business? I was under the impression (from Google Reader) that if users aren’t in the millions, then they’ll kill the project. How could they also run a high-touch consultancy?! > they're probably sick of going to the same old engagements Hmm… consultancies love this type of recurring revenue - it’s easy money | |||||||||||||||||

Google also has the Project Zero which doesn't fit into Google business culture either. I wonder if Mandiant is paying for their payroll. | |||||||||||||||||

Google is a quarter million person company (if you count full time, temps, vendors and contractors). Google Cloud is basically an entirely different company than Search or Maps. Cloud will happily sell you $10m in compute a year and a value add $400k of security consulting. | |||||||||||||||||
