We have entered into a definitive agreement to sell the FireEye Products business, including the FireEye name, to Symphony Technology Group. This will separate FireEye's products suite from @Mandiant Solutions' controls-agnostic software and services. https://www.fireeye.com/...

Just when I finally began calling the company FireEye/Mandiant — because I kept getting confused about which name to use in stories — they're splitting up.
