Secureworks® (NASDAQ: SCWX), a leading global cybersecurity
company that keeps organizations safe in the digitally connected
world, has been named a ‘Leader’ in the IDC MarketScape: U.S.
Incident Readiness, Response, and Resiliency Services 2018 Vendor
Assessment — Beyond the Big 5 Consultancies1. Secureworks was one
of just 19 vendors invited to participate in the IDC assessment
which looked at technical acumen, security technology, security
operational management, and threat visibility.
Secureworks was recognized for its integrated approach to
detection, response and management capabilities, its use of machine
learning and analytics to decrease impact on human analysts, and
its automated processes that speed response times.
“Secureworks is pleased to be named a Leader in the IDC
MarketScape report, which reflects our depth of experience and
technical capabilities to deliver both faster response times and
tailored proactive services to clients around the globe,” says
Jeffrey Carpenter, Senior Director of Threat Intelligence and
Incident Response (IR) at Secureworks. “Our IR services leverage
high-fidelity threat intelligence and analytics ― including our own
Red Cloak™ behavioral analytics ― to enable incident readiness,
early identification and rapid response, which in turn allow our
skilled teams to focus on helping clients return to business
operations.“
Secureworks has offered a range of IR services since 2007, and
the portfolio continues to adapt with the cyber threat environment,
helping global organizations continuously elevate their
cybersecurity postures and resiliency to cyber incidents.
Secureworks IR services include Emergency Incident Response,
Targeted Threat Hunting Assessments, IR Exercises, and IR Planning.
All of these capabilities will be showcased this week at
Secureworks Access 2018, the organization’s premier thought
leadership conference.
According to the IDC MarketScape, “Secureworks was rated quite
well by customer references. In addition, IDC feels that
Secureworks' containment readiness planning process is quite
comprehensive across the client's operational, business, and future
resilience elements.”
As one of the few pure-play cybersecurity providers in the
assessment, Secureworks has emphasized delivering
intelligence-driven analysis, response, and consulting services for
tailored defense-in-concert outcomes. This industry-recognized
approach integrates the learnings from IR consulting engagements
and frontline client services into Secureworks platforms and
methodologies, resulting in integrated workflows between IR
responders and analysts in Secureworks’ Managed Detection and
Response (MDR) offering. In addition, Secureworks’ IR strategy
fuels the recently-launched Red CloakTM Partner Program, and the
company’s IR expertise has enabled the extension of automated
investigation and response workflows into unique client
environments, laying the groundwork for a security orchestration
solution launch in early 2019.
Secureworks conducted more than 950 IR preparedness, threat
hunting, and emergency response engagements across all industry
verticals in 2017, and the key lessons learned from those outcomes
have been made available to the public in its 2018 Incident
Response Insights Report.
