SECUREWORKS: AN INTELLIGENT RESPONSE TO RISING THREATS

A quick look at the latest cybersecurity statistics can leave you feeling alarmed. Ransomware-infected emails increased 6,000 percent annually in 2016. Over 75 percent of the healthcare industry was infected with malware in 2016. Small businesses are not immune. Approximately 43 percent of cyber-attacks targeted small businesses. Those numbers strike fear into most businesses, and yet the most troubling statistic hits closer to home: there are hundreds of thousands of cybersecurity jobs that are unfilled. In fact, the latest estimates put the number of available cybersecurity jobs in the United States at over 280,000, with an unemployment rate of zero percent. In other words, security risks are rising at the same time that the available pool of people to help protect you remains consistently unavailable and increasingly difficult to retain.

Anti-malware software and firewalls can protect you against many types of attack, but not against everything. Organizations require human cybersecurity expertise to create security strategies, detect security incidents and respond to those incidents accordingly. With that expertise in scarce supply and commanding a premium, many organizations are recruiting and training cybersecurity talent from within. The problem is that, once trained, this talent often leaves for greener (read: more lucrative) pastures.

Staffing and maintaining a cybersecurity team isn’t simply a Fortune 1000 problem. Today’s cybercriminals are targeting small and medium enterprises just as aggressively, particularly in fields such as healthcare and financial services. With cybersecurity expertise in high demand, organizations need to make a hard choice: understaff or pay for top-dollar talent? There is, however, a better option: Beef up your security with managed security services.

LET SECUREWORKS DO THE WORK FOR YOUSecureWorks is the industry’s leading Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP). As a member of the Dell Technologies family of companies, SecureWorks brings exceptional stability, strength and expertise to the challenge of operating Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM) platforms. For those unfamiliar with SIEM as a security technology, it involves detecting and responding to potential threats (“events”) and confirmed threats (“incidents”) through human-controlled intervention. You can think of SIEM as a critical tool of IT security’s crisis management team: when something goes wrong, SIEM enables security analysts to fix it as fast as possible while minimizing impact to the organization, whether it’s a DDoS attack or downloaded ransomware.

SecureWorks supports your SIEM deployment in three important ways:

• Actively monitoring your IT and security devices to detect security events and alert your organization to security incidents;

• Helping your organization respond quickly to security incidents through actionable intelligence, expertise and human assistance;

• Providing additional services to continuously look for and apply software patches as needed to prevent the security vulnerabilities that can lead to a network breach or successful attack.

SecureWorks seamlessly integrates with your existing security architecture. They actively monitor IT and security devices from leading vendors such as Cisco, Palo Alto and Fortinet. In addition, SecureWorks integrates those vendors’ threat intelligence feeds into their own Counter Threat technology. For example, if you have Microsoft solutions in your network, SecureWorks can not only monitor those devices but also add information from Microsoft’s global threat intelligence to improve threat detection and response.
