Mandia brings expert counsel on
cyberthreats that challenge the innovation economy and technology advancements
in government and private industry

Washington,
D.C. — TechNet, the national, bipartisan network of innovation
economy CEOs and senior executives, and FireEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: FEYE), the intelligence-led security
company, today announced that FireEye CEO Kevin Mandia has been appointed
to the Executive Council of TechNet.

Mandia brings more than two decades of experience preparing
and protecting Fortune 500 companies and global government organizations from
cyberthreats and will be instrumental to helping shape TechNet’s understanding
of critical cybersecurity principles. As
part of the council, Mandia will contribute his expertise to help advance
policies that can strengthen the nation’s security posture while paving a path
forward for America’s technology industry to flourish.

“While FireEye remains vigilant on the frontlines combatting
cyberattacks, we understand that reducing risk requires significant cooperation
and contributions from outside the technology industry. We need to establish global standards for
peacetime behavior in cyberspace, and effective policy is key to making this
happen. TechNet’s Executive Council
brings together the right group of technology leaders to not only help shape
cybersecurity policy, but also advance government initiatives that encourage
innovation and promote economic growth,” said Mandia.

“Kevin Mandia brings an
important perspective to our Executive Council as the tech industry engages
policymakers on the best ways we can protect consumers, businesses, and
governments during this era of relentless cyberattacks,” said
Linda Moore, President and CEO of TechNet. “With a deep background in
both the private sector and government, Kevin possesses a unique understanding
of how public policy impacts business and innovation. He will help

place in our nation’s capital and across the country.”
