despite the fact that fireeye’s stock continues to get by, back at its initial price range, the merger with mandiant has provided fireeye with indisputable benefits. part of fireeye’s new plan for profit includes greater global exposure and a wider customer base. mandiant brings this to the company in spades. prior to fireeye’s acquisition of the company, mandiant was a recognized worldwide leader in remediation, endpoint security and incident response, having more than 2 million endpoints installed around the world. mandiant’s acknowledged leadership in its field gained it the business of some of the largest companies on the planet and has added more than 30 fortune 100 companies to fireeye’s list of clientele .

it probably isn' t surprising that fireeye is being sued by its investors. the company was hit by multiple class action lawsuits in 2014 after its secondary offering triggered a steep sell - off. the plaintiffs also allege that fireeye execs made misleading claims about the effectiveness of its threat prevention technologies .
fireeye might look like a tempting contrarian play, but the company is in serious trouble. it isn' t pivoting from appliances to cloud - based services quickly enough to boost its top line growth, and mandia' s plan to grow margins by laying off employees could dull fireeye' s competitive edge. several of the facts i discussed in this article support that bearish case and indicate that fireeye might not ever revisit its ipo price again .

about fireeye fireeye has invented a purpose - built, virtual machine - based security platform that provides real - time threat protection to enterprises and governments worldwide against the next generation of cyber attacks. these highly sophisticated cyber attacks easily circumvent traditional signature - based defenses, such as next - generation firewalls, ips, anti - virus, and gateways. the fireeye threat prevention platform provides real - time, dynamic threat protection without the use of signatures to protect an organization across the primary threat vectors and across the different stages of an attack life cycle. the core of the fireeye platform is a virtual execution engine, complemented by dynamic threat intelligence, to identify and block cyber attacks in real time. fireeye has over 5, 000 customers across 67 countries, including more than 940 of the forbes global 2000 .
thus, automating portions of the investigation and compromise assessment process is intriguing, as it suggests fireeye may be able to prove its value faster and, more importantly, in a more cost - effective manner. once it' s in the door, fireeye has exhibited an admirable ability to sell further services to its customers .
faced with the prospect of slower growth, fireeye announced a significant workforce reduction in august. around 300 to 400 of fireeye' s 3, 400 positions were slated for elimination, and along with other cost - cutting measures, the company managed to reduce its total expense base by $ 10 million in the third quarter .
i know fireeye pretty well but even i was surprised by the r & d effort going on at the company. clearly, fireeye understands that network sandboxes alone are no match for sophisticated cybercriminals and well - resourced nation states so it is investing heavily to give its customers a fighting chance against the badest of the bad guys .

“fireeye endpoint security produces very few false positives: when we do get a hit, we’re confident that it’s a true incident that we should immediately act on. ”
fireeye now trades at about $ 10, and its sales growth has flatlined, with analysts expecting just 1% sales growth this year. i' ve discussed the

orchestrated the company' s early development of security appliances and oversaw its acquisition of mandiant. prior to founding fireeye, aziz worked at
as fireeye dipped below its ipo price in late 2015, many investors speculated that dewalt would also try to sell the company. however, dewalt resigned last june and
the rest of the world started to find out in 2008. that’s when fireeye started focusing more closely on the web as the delivery vehicle of choice for malware .
meanwhile, fireeye faced another challenge. the recession had hit and the company hadn’t yet established itself. a lot of security companies would have tried to sell themselves—many did—but ashar never wavered. he had total conviction that fireeye’s approach was right and that it was just a matter of time until everyone else realized it, as well .
fireeye isight threat intelligence is part of an appliance - based platform for small, midsize and enterprise customers to automate defenses against zero - day and other advanced cyberattacks .
fireeye doesn' t disclose pricing for isight intelligence subscriptions, preferring that prospective customers contact the company for current pricing information that' s tailored to their specific environments .
the vast majority of customers subscribe to dynamic threat intelligence in order to maximize the detection capabilities of fireeye threat prevention platforms. both advanced threat intelligence options provide significantly more context and analysis of threats identified by fireeye. in addition, they significantly increase security analyst efficiency by making it easier to prioritize, analyze and resolve security incidents .
machine intelligence collected from the thousands of deployed fireeye sensors, which detect and identify never - before - seen attacks, zero - day vulnerabilities, and new unknowns .
ultimately, fireeye has yet to produce any kind of profit. while the company’s top - line growth has been extensive, the firm' s primary focus has been expansion. still, the potential for profit is great, specifically as the company shifts to a saas model. in 2015, fireeye - as - a - service delivered a triple - digit customer growth and reached a $ 100 million run rate. while saas customers comprise only 8% of fireeye’s more than 4, 000 customers, there is more than enough headroom for further growth. time will determine how profitable fireeye will become and how much of a role mandiant will play in that success .
that' s why aziz' s abrupt resignation from fireeye' s board of directors last august stunned investors. fireeye said that aziz' s departure wasn' t caused by any disagreements with the company, but rather a
desire to spend more time with his family here and abroad, and also to pursue new projects .
fireeye managed just 12. 5% growth during the third quarter of this year. what' s worse, the company expects to produce year - over - year revenue growth of just 1% - 4% during the fourth quarter. fireeye ceo kevin mandia is optimistic that business will eventually pick up, driven by new products :
the transformation from an innovative growth company to one laying off employees in an effort to achieve
balanced growth with profitability
is fireeye' s biggest failure in 2016 .
4. enterprise - class professional services. mandiant is still the go - to firm for incident response but fireeye’s professional services extend beyond putting out fires. many cisos need help assessing cybersecurity needs and designing threat intelligence defenses offering security efficacy and operational efficiency. fireeye is picking up incremental business with these types of services working with extremely large customers .
the fireeye appliance has detected a threat which has been verified as malicious by the fireeye research team, but in - depth analysis has not been completed. common reasons for a lack of information are that the threat is newly discovered, or it is not widely detected. this page will be updated with more specific information as it becomes available .
fireeye is a publicly traded security firm that regularly finds and reports vulnerabilities in adobe flash and apple' s ios and google' s android operating systems. but when security researcher felix wilhelm found five critical flaws in fireeye' s malware protection system, the company went to court to obtain an injunction barring the disclosure of some of the technical details .
the market has already shown an enthusiasm for fireeye’s products. since the company made its debut on the nasdaq in september, its stock price has more than doubled. that has made it the most successful initial public offering of a security company in 2013 and a big gain for fireeye’s founder, ashar aziz, a former sun microsystems engineer who started the company in 2004, and fireeye’s venture capital backers like norwest, sequoia capital and in - q - tel, the venture arm of the central intelligence agency, and others .
the
fireeye cyber threat map
is based on a subset of real attack data, which is optimized for better visual presentation. customer information has been removed for privacy .
fireeye was founded in 2004 as a security appliance maker, but it wasn' t considered a major threat prevention player until it acquired mandiant for $ 1 billion in 2014 .
appears to have been revitalized, fueled partly by the apparent enthusiasm for its enhanced fireeye - as - a - service offering. the company appears to be moving toward profitability, and the valuation of fireeye stock is at bargain levels. meanwhile, the stock should be helped by the continued prevalence of hacking and president trump’s decision to prioritize it security .
in my opinion, fireeye shares a similar limited reputation as many security professionals equate the company with a single cybersecurity technology, network “sandboxing, ” in spite of its acquisitions, progress, and diversification. this perception seems especially true on wall street where financial analysts continue to judge fireeye based upon the number of competitive vendors who offer network sandboxes of their own .
mandiant was frequently called in after fireeye found malware. in those cases, it used its own threat detection technology to determine where the attack was coming from and to design countermeasures .
on monday, the boards of both companies agreed to terms in which fireeye will pay mandiant shareholders $ 106. 5 million in cash and 21. 5 million shares and options .
fireeye is the leader in stopping the new breed of cyber attacks, such as advanced malware, that easily bypass traditional signature - based defenses and compromise the majority of enterprise networks .
after today' s sale, mandia currently owns 3, 023, 640 shares, or a 2. 1% stake in fireeye. he also joined the company as coo .

how it works: stopping advanced targeted attacks the fireeye web mps, email mps, file mps, and mas appliances analyze across major threat vectors - web, email, and files - for advanced targeted attacks. within each appliance, the virtual execution (vx) engine creates dynamic security content based on the analysis of suspicious web traffic, email attachments, and files. the fireeye central management system (cms) is then used to distribute the dynamic security content locally to each appliance to provide real - time protection throughout the entire fireeye deployment .
dewalt said fireeye does business in both russia and ukraine, two countries with well - developed hacking communities, and that it is seeing some sophisticated attacks on the telecommunications infrastructure in ukraine .
fireeye' s sales growth slowed down due to waning demand for its on - site appliances and rising demand for its cloud - based services. that shift has been tough, since fireeye generates much more revenue on the initial sale of an appliance than gaining new subscriptions. but over time, these cloud - based subscriptions become more dependable sources of long - term revenue .
fireeye provides companies with technology and services to protect against malware and cyber - attacks. in the first half of 2013, fireeye posted revenue of $ 61. 6 million, up from $ 29. 7 million in the year - ago period. net loss however was $ 67. 2 million, up from $ 14. 3 million in the year - ago period .
the fireeye malware protection system stops the entire lifecycle of advanced targeted attacks across the web and email threat vectors and malware resident on file shares. fireeye' s solutions supplement traditional security defenses, such as traditional and next - generation firewalls, ips, av and gateways, which can' t stop advanced malware, thus leaving significant security holes in the majority of corporate networks .

by deploying the fireeye nx, ex, fx, and ax series together with the fireeye cm series, the analysis of blended threats, such as pinpointing a spear - phishing email used to distribute malicious urls, becomes possible. security analysts now have the ability to connect the dots of a blended attack, giving them the actionable intelligence necessary to protect organizations against advanced targeted attacks .

fireeye is a leader in stopping the new generation of cyber - attacks, such as advanced malware, that easily bypass traditional signature - based defenses and compromise over 95 percent of enterprise networks. fireeye has invented a purpose - built, virtual machine - based platform that provides real - time threat protection to organizations across all major threat vectors and each stage of an attack life cycle .
fireeye is, by market capitalization, the seventh - largest cybersecurity firm. still, failure to produce anything but negligible profit led the company to develop a new business model. fireeye has begun a major shift, transitioning to a software - as - a - service (saas) subscription model that may, as hoped, decrease the emphasis placed on a highly competitive appliance market. analysts have been quick to agree with executives at the company, indicating that fireeye’s excellence in intelligence - gathering capabilities has left the firm well - positioned to make a transition to the saas model .
fireeye projects that by 2020, saas offerings and subscriptions will account for 75% of the company’s total billings. fireeye has also cropped loss expectations for 2016 to $ 1. 27 or less per share. capital expenditure expectations for 2016 have also been dropped, from $ 50 million to $ 35 million. fireeye expects to boost international sales in the future, aiming to make such transactions up to 50% of total revenue, up more than 20% from 2015. this will be accomplished, in part, by leveraging third - party distributors such as westcon group inc .
fireeye helps companies detect intrusions on a company network, while npulse builds on this by providing a way to track the intrusion and understand what happened while the intruder was traipsing around inside the network .
the move is generating howls of protest among security professionals, who argue that fireeye of all companies should know better than to stifle the free flow of vulnerability information. they point out that ernw, the german consultancy that found the vulnerabilities, privately notified fireeye of the findings in april, more than four months before fireeye filed court documents to prevent wilhelm from providing technical details related to the flaws. in the future, critics argued, it would be better if researchers publicly reported their findings first rather than give private notice. on thursday, ernw founder enno rey also criticized the move .
technology alone is not enough to combat cyber threats. at fireeye we use a unique innovation cycle that combines technology with expertise to continuously improve solutions at a speed and sophistication unmatched in the industry .

looking more broadly at the technology industry’s relationship with government entities, fireeye does not share or receive any content with any intelligence agencies that is not available to our entire customer base. we make available to all our customers fireeye dynamic threat intelligence, a cloud - based solution that efficiently shares auto - generated threat intelligence to protect all our customers once a threat has been identified in one organization .
much of the outside world viewed fireeye as a dead company. when it struggled to raise money, gaurav garg, then at sequoia and now an alumnus, and promod led an inside round .
it better, because fireeye is still wildly unprofitable. the company has posted a gaap net loss of $ 419 million through the first nine months of 2016 on just $ 529 million of revenue .
fireeye has had a rough year, but its choice of a new ceo, expansion of cloud - based services, and introduction of an all - in - one platform were all smart moves .
just over a month ago, fireeye announced that it would partner with hewlett - packard to extend its incident response capabilities. hp' s global team of 5, 000 security consultants can now bring in mandiant consultants for incident response engagements. in addition, hp will use mandiant consultants to conduct
advanced compromise assessment
for its clients. the company will also utilize fireeye software for threat monitoring .
fireeye (feye) continues to gain competitive strength through new product launches and by upgrading its existing product features. as endpoint security is high in demand, the intelligence - based security provider increased its focus on the market at the end of fiscal q3 2017 to strengthen its market share. it combines multiple detection and prevention options with fireeye’s threat intelligence capabilities for endpoint resistance, saving time and money .
fireeye revenue grew nearly 1, 165 percent from fiscal year 2011 to fiscal year 2014, far exceeding the average revenue growth of companies on deloitte' s 2015 technology fast 500™ (850 percent) .
finally, the valuation of fireeye stock appears to be well below most other it security companies. feye stock trades at a price - to - book ratio of just 3, versus 4. 9 for
during the third quarter of 2016, fireeye managed to grow revenue by just 12. 5% year over year. that' s down from 45% growth during the third quarter of 2015. fireeye has been chronically unprofitable since its founding, posting a staggering $ 539 million net loss during 2015. however, the market largely didn' t care about these losses as long as revenue growth met expectations .
fireeye (feye) serves three security areas: network, email gateway solutions, and endpoint security. the growing importance of the endpoint security market driven by the rising popularity of byod (bring your own device) has made organizations vulnerable to security threats. although fireeye isn’t highly dependent on endpoint security as a prime source of revenue, it may gradually become a major business driver for the company going forward .
2. a foundation of threat intelligence. between its products and ir services, fireeye collects quite a bit of threat intelligence data. fireeye integrates this data with its products for threat prevention and also offers it as a threat intelligence portal for security analytics and threat intelligence sharing. yes, other vendors offer threat intelligence as well but fireeye believes that its ace - in - the - hole is its ability to correlate pedestrian threat intelligence around iocs (i. e. ip addresses, domains, urls, etc .) to specific cyber adversary groups. by doing so, fireeye says it has a better understanding than others about the ttps used by different groups and the steps they take as part of their cyber - attacks. this is exactly what’s needed to turn raw data into actionable threat intelligence at enterprise organizations. oh and speaking of threat intelligence, fireeye also announced a new partnership with visa to provide products and services that combine the two companies’ threat intelligence for retailers and banks. i’ll be keeping my eye on this one.
