SecureWorks Corp. (NASDAQ:SCWX), a leading provider of
intelligence-driven information security solutions, and Carbon
Black, the leader in next-generation endpoint security, are teaming
up to bring managed, next-generation antivirus (NGAV) protection to
clients to block sophisticated security threats.
As a part of SecureWorks’ advanced endpoint security solutions,
SecureWorks will offer Advanced Endpoint Threat Prevention (AETP),
a next-generation antivirus service powered by Carbon Black’s Cb
Defense. Using a combination of endpoint and cloud-based
technologies, Cb Defense delivers a breakthrough security model
known as “streaming prevention” to block malware as well as
increasingly common attacks that exploit memory and scripting
languages, such as PowerShell.
By leveraging Cb Defense, SecureWorks’ AETP service will offer
enterprises and SMB clients:
- Protection Against Advanced
Attacks: Carbon Black’s new “streaming prevention” technology
prevents malware, ransomware, 0-days, and non-malware attacks.
- SecureWorks Intelligence:
SecureWorks adds curated Threat Intelligence and analytics, going
beyond point-in-time protection with the complete visibility needed
to rapidly respond to threats identified by less-certain triggers.
SecureWorks experts from its Senior Intrusion Analyst teams provide
documented, actionable guidance on how to eradicate adversary
activity that cannot always be blocked.
- 24X7 Monitoring: Non-stop
coverage from SecureWorks gives small to mid-sized businesses
(SMBs) and enterprises alike the ability to offload the time and
energy of managing endpoint security to a trusted team of specially
trained experts skilled at detecting and defending against advanced
threats.
“We are excited to be working with Carbon Black to deliver a
solution that blocks a broad spectrum of attacks that traditional
antivirus generally misses,” said Matt Eberhart, vice president of
global product management at SecureWorks. “Our clients tell us
about the need for a simple solution that combines the
black-and-white decisions of next-gen anti-malware protection with
a service that also has the necessary endpoint telemetry to rapidly
respond to adversary activity that you can’t prevent.”
SecureWorks is the first managed security service provider to
partner with Carbon Black on Cb Defense. With AETP, SecureWorks’
clients will now receive comprehensive endpoint prevention with
NGAV and the latest threat intelligence from the combined global
visibility of Carbon Black and SecureWorks.
“Customers can now enjoy the benefit of breakthrough prevention
technology combined with world-class detection and response
services,” said Tom Barsi, Carbon Black’s senior vice president of
business development. “These customers no longer have to make a
choice about which is more important. This offering provides full
protection with one technology in Carbon Black, and one service
provider in SecureWorks.”
This announcement is the next step in SecureWorks’ existing
strategic partnership with Carbon Black to bring advanced endpoint
security solutions to clients around the world. The offering is
slated to be available in the second quarter of 2017 and enhances
the Advanced Endpoint Threat Detection (AETD) service already
offered by SecureWorks leveraging Red Cloak and Carbon Black
technologies.
