Management Discussion
- Platform, cloud subscription and managed services revenue increased by $36.4 million, or 18%, during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in platform, cloud subscription and managed services revenue reflected increased recognition of deferred revenue associated with sales of our threat intelligence and security validation modules of the Mandiant Advantage platform and our Managed Defense managed security services.
- Professional services revenue increased by $47.4 million, or 24%, during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in number of engagements enabled by an increase in professional services personnel and an increase in mix of incident response services with higher rates per hour as compared to the same period in 2020.
- Our international revenue increased $33.3 million, or 28%, during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase reflects growth in sales of our platform, cloud subscription and managed services and an increase in the number of professional services engagements in certain international regions compared to prior periods.
