The Mandiant founder; one documented junction, held precisely
This is Jonathan Hare's account, with its provenance shown. The person or organization named has not yet claimed or corrected it.
Kevin Mandia — founder of Mandiant and then chief executive of FireEye — hosted the Palo Alto executive briefing that was, per the 2024 record, the last in-person meeting of Jonathan Hare and James Kaplan in the earlier era, the session where Kaplan's cybersecurity whitepaper was discussed. The record holds him at that one documented junction.
There is no single root. This is one view of the graph, from this node — what you see depends on where you enter and what you are looking for.
Everything above is a distillation. The primary source is published in full, so that any claim on this page can be walked back to what was actually said — and where the two differ, the source governs.
This entry exists because the person or organization belongs in the record, not because there is much to say yet. It is published thin so that whoever knows more has somewhere to put it — which is how the rest of these pages got written.
This entry is deliberately incomplete. The gaps below are the things only certain people can settle — and settling one is a contribution like any other: recorded, timestamped and attributed to whoever made it.
Correct anything wrong, add what only you know, or claim this entry as your own. Write to evidence@qpncatalyst.io and Jonathan directly (both are on the button) — a timestamped confirmation comes back with your submission attached, as your own independent record. No account, no permission, no institutional standing required.
Public contributions earn Publicity Premium; bringing others who were there earns Cascade Premium. Everything is valued retrospectively as outcomes verify, so nothing has to be priced up front.
