Last year, Expel strengthened strategic partnerships with major global players in and around the security space, including Wiz, Visa, and, most recently, modePUSH, a leading incident response firm, to improve joint capabilities that meet a broader range of customer security needs. “Working with Expel is like putting on noise canceling headphones—granting us the freedom to focus on AstraZeneca’s most pressing business priorities, not reams of alerts, as a true extension of our security team. Herndon, VA, October 1, 2024 — Expel, the leading managed detection and response (MDR) provider, today announced cybersecurity industry luminary, Kevin Mandia, has joined its board of directors. I witnessed Dave build and scale our business from the ground up with relentless focus on the outcomes for our customers,” said Mandia, speaking about Dave Merkel, co-founder and CEO of Expel. Expel is the leading managed detection and response (MDR) provider trusted by some of the world’s most recognizable brands to expel their adversaries, minimize risk, and build security resilience. This career intersection once again reflects Mandia’s strong belief in Expel’s leadership—including Merkel’s co-founders, Yanek Korff and Justin Bajko, both fellow Mandiant alums and current Expel executives—and its ability to protect organizations against evolving threats. Having long worked with members of Expel’s leadership team, as both a colleague and a customer, I can confidently say I never have to question whether the Expel team is prioritizing our security needs. The Mandiant founder brings over three decades of security leadership and venture capital expertise to help shepherd Expel into its next phase of growth. Expel augments existing programs to help customers maximize their security investments and focus on building trust—with their customers, partners, and employees.
