In today’s environment of unprecedented attacks by sophisticated
threat actors, the role FireEye has played in protecting people and
organizations has scaled as well. FireEye has been growing its
presence in Reston and Alexandria since 2011. In addition to
housing a significant number of Threat Intelligence and Mandiant®
consulting experts, the new Reston facility will be the epicenter
of FireEye Managed Defense operations. Analysts will continue to
monitor threats 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and aggregate these
insights within FireEye products and services.
“Investing in our people and technology makes relentlessly
protecting our customers from the impact and consequences of cyber
attacks possible,” said Kevin Mandia, CEO at FireEye. “We continue
to hire the best of the best as we work to achieve this mission
every day, and our growing team of tech security experts located in
the Dulles Tech Corridor is an important part of everything that we
do.”
Hosting the company’s largest security operation center, the
state-of-the-art building will house more than 300 employees to
start, while providing room for future expansion needs. Along these
lines, FireEye is planning to move into a new office space in
Alexandra Virginia as well. FireEye plans to continue to hire top
security professionals for all roles out of Reston, including tech
and engineering, while Alexandria is primarily home to FireEye
Mandiant consultants.

“FireEye has provided enormous assistance not only to a range of
companies in advancing their cyber security, but in educating
policymakers and the general public. It’s exciting to see that
they’re expanding their footprint in Virginia, drawing on (and
helping expand) the enormous cyber security workforce we have in
the Commonwealth,” said U.S. Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) and Vice
Chairman of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
“I am pleased to see another thriving cyber security company has
made the decision to expand operations in Fairfax County. Companies
like FireEye are essential to the diversification of our economy
and show that Northern Virginia continues to establish itself as
the Silicon Valley of the East,” said U.S. Rep. Gerry Connolly
(D-VA-11) and Senior member of the U.S. House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee. “Having visited FireEye myself, I look
forward to watching this company continue to grow.”
