Manera ICP - CISOs
Manera Cyber for CISOs
For: Chief Information Security Officer · Head of Security · IT Director (50–500 person org) Flagship: Manera Cyber (CloudPulse + ThreatPulse + IdentityPulse + ResiliencePulse + AdversarialAI + EndpointPulse + PhishingPulse) Mesh Tier: $999/mo · 13.5× cheaper than CrowdStrike + Wiz + KnowBe4
What you tell the board on Tuesday
The board asks: "How are we exposed to the Volt Typhoon advisory CISA published this week? What's our blast radius if the CFO's M365 account gets popped? And — for the record — has anyone red-teamed the customer-support chatbot you launched in March?"
You have CrowdStrike, Wiz, KnowBe4, a SIEM you can almost afford, and a 2-person security team. Your CSPM doesn't talk to your CTI feed. Your IdP doesn't know about credential dumps. Your AI red-team budget is "I'll get to it next quarter." The attacker, of course, sees one continuous attack surface.
You don't need a 13th tool. You need seven that compose, at a price your CFO clears without procurement, with audit lineage your auditor signs off on without a follow-up call.
What CISOs actually buy
Seven petals. One mesh. $999/mo. Each petal is a standalone Flask app — but they share a schema and broadcast events to each other, so a CSPM finding becomes CTI context becomes IR playbook becomes audit trail in under 60 seconds.
CISA KEV alerts within 5 minutes (ThreatPulse)
- 1,586+ CISA KEV entries fully ingested with daily refresh
- Curated database of 7 named threat actors (Wizard Spider, LockBit, Scattered Spider, Volt Typhoon, APT28, Lazarus, Sandworm) with MITRE ATT&CK TTP mapping
- Vendor watchlist + daily Claude-written briefing tuned to your stack (you tell it what you run)
- Cross-link to active exploitation in the wild — not just "CVE published" but "CVE actively used by threat actor X in last 30 days"
AdversarialAI red-team probes ChatGPT's response on YOUR data
- 142 probes covering OWASP LLM Top 10 (Garak parity exceeded)
- EU AI Act + ISO/IEC 42001 + NIST AI RMF attestation walkthroughs
- 14-detector PII redaction (Lakera-parity)
- MLDR — model lifecycle defense, ML-detection-and-response (HiddenLayer-parity)
- Drop-in
/api/check-prompt endpoint at ~50 ms latency for live prompt-injection blocking on your customer-support chatbot
Cloud attack-path narrative engine (CloudPulse)
- Read-only AWS audit (Azure + GCP Q2 2026) — no IAM write scopes, ever
- CIS Foundations Benchmark + IAM hygiene (dormant super-admins, over-privileged principals, stale keys)
- Shadow-SaaS discovery from DNS/proxy logs
- Attack-path narrative engine — the kill chain explained in English, not in JSON. Your board reads English.
Identity hygiene that knows about credential dumps (IdentityPulse)
- Read-only Microsoft 365 / Entra + Google Workspace (Okta Q2 2026)
- MFA posture scoring (0–100)
- HaveIBeenPwned credential-leak monitoring — when your CFO's password shows up in the LinkedIn 2012 corpus, you get the alert
- Impossible-travel detector + privilege-graph audit (dormant admins, role sprawl, OAuth-grant orphans)
Ransomware survival (ResiliencePulse)
- Backup posture scoring + ransomware tabletop simulator + blast-radius modelling
- 12-control NIST 800-34 / ISO 22301 attestation
- Replaces the $30K–$80K Big-4 tabletop
- Incident orchestration with SHA-256-stamped audit trail across the mesh — every IncidentStage event hash-stamped, tamper-evident PDF export for SOC 2 / ISO 27001 binders
Endpoint posture (EndpointPulse)
- Read-only Microsoft Intune connector (Jamf + Falcon Q2 2026)
- Device risk scoring across compliance / encryption / EDR / MFA / staleness
- Patch posture cross-matched against live CISA KEV
- CIS L1 attestation for Windows + macOS + Ubuntu
- SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA / PCI evidence packs
Email defense + impersonation hunt (PhishingPulse)
- SPF / DKIM / DMARC / BIMI / MTA-STS audit with 30/60/90-day ramp from
p=none to p=reject - Brand-impersonation hunt across ~80 cousin / typo / homoglyph variants per domain
- 6-control deepfake / BEC readiness attestation
Mesh combos no incumbent can replicate
CrowdStrike doesn't know what's in your DMARC record. Wiz doesn't know your CFO is in the LinkedIn 2012 corpus. KnowBe4 doesn't know an attacker is actively exploiting your unpatched Ivanti box.
- Attack path → active exploitation → orchestrated response. CloudPulse surfaces an over-privileged IAM role with cross-account assume-role into a crown-jewel database. Mesh-signed call to ThreatPulse returns "yes, this CVE matches a Volt Typhoon TTP active in the last 30 days." ResiliencePulse stages an incident playbook in
/api/incident/stage. End-to-end in under 60 seconds, every hop hash-stamped. - Identity breach → auto-staged remediation. IdentityPulse cross-matches a privileged user against a fresh credential dump on HaveIBeenPwned. Mesh fires the matching ResiliencePulse remediation playbook (rotate password · revoke active sessions · re-enroll FIDO2). Single ticket. Auditor sees the gap closed in 4 hours, not 4 weeks.
- AI red-team → real-world threat-actor mapping → exec briefing. AdversarialAI runs the 142-probe library against your customer-support chatbot. Three probes flag prompt-injection bypasses. ThreatPulse cross-links the bypass family to known APT activity. NexusAI rolls it into the CEO's morning brief. One probe run, three audit deliverables.
Pricing — for the CISO who reads pricing pages
| Plan | Price | Best for |
|---|
| Mesh Tier (default) | $999/mo | All 6 composite flagships incl. Cyber. Replaces $162K/yr Cyber stack. |
| Cyber standalone | per-petal pricing | Buyers who want only one petal |
| Sovereign | $1,500–$7,500/mo (custom) | F500 + regulated industries — SLA, white-glove, SOC 2 audit packs |
Should I buy Cyber standalone or upgrade to Mesh? Upgrade to Mesh. The whole point of Cyber is the cross-petal synthesis — buying CloudPulse without ThreatPulse means you lose the active-exploitation enrichment, which is half the value. The CFO/CEO/GC also get NexusAI + Treasury + Legal at the same $999/mo.

| Manera Cyber Mesh Tier | $11,988/yr | 7 petals, mesh-composed, SHA-256 audit |
Honest scope (what Manera Cyber is NOT)
- Not a SIEM. No log-collection pipeline, no UEBA. If you need one, run Microsoft Sentinel or Splunk and use Manera Cyber as the layer above.
- Not a SOAR (yet). ResiliencePulse stages incidents and orchestrates a 5-playbook starter set; full Tines/Torq-grade automation lives on the Q3 2026 roadmap.
- Not a real-time EDR. EndpointPulse audits posture from MDM snapshots; it doesn't ship a kernel sensor.
- Not a managed SOC. No 24/7 analyst desk. We give your team the signal; your team decides and acts.
- Not for FedRAMP-only deployments. Manera runs on commercial cloud. If you require FedRAMP High or IL-5, talk to Wiz Federal or CrowdStrike GovCloud.
Trust, residency, compliance
- Observe-only by design. No connector ever writes to your cloud, IdP, MDM, or DNS. Final remediation authority always rests with your team.
- Read-only OAuth scopes. AWS IAM read-only roles. Microsoft Graph
*.Read.All only. Google Workspace read-only admin scopes. - Data residency. Your data stays in your tenant's region. Manera processes events in transit; we don't warehouse customer telemetry.
- SOC 2 Type II — in progress (target Q4 2026). Pre-audit evidence packs available for procurement diligence.
- Loi 25 (Quebec) compliant. GDPR sub-processor list at /trust.
- Sub-processors: Stripe (billing) · Wise (FX) · Anthropic (Claude API — no customer telemetry sent to model) · Cloudflare (CDN + WAF).
