Key Products

Secureworks Taegis is a cloud-native security platform that brings together extended detection and response (XDR and ManagedXDR), vulnerability management (VDR), and comprehensive threat intelligence. It is based on 20+ years of running security operations for customers and leverages AI powered analytics, automation engines, curated threat intelligence and comprehensive attack vector coverage to improve SecOps efficiency and security outcomes for customers.

Secureworks Taegis XDR (Extended Detection and Response) detects and responds to attacks across cloud, endpoint, and network environments. It also helps SecOps teams bridge their cybersecurity skills gaps while reducing costs where security blind spots previously existed.

Built for security experts, by security experts

With threat actors increasingly exploiting gaps in point solutions and vulnerabilities, Taegis is built on 20+ years of experience managing a SOC and understanding that security teams require a simplified, integrated, and holistic cybersecurity solution. That’s why Secureworks takes a more inclusive and open platform approach than most vendors. Secureworks Taegis XDR ingests telemetry from leading security products to provide holistic visibility and security and provide as much additional support as may be required through an ManagedXDR offering.

Threat researchers work in lockstep with product engineering teams

How Secureworks uses its threat intelligence, and puts it in the hands of customers, is what differentiates the company from competitors. Its Counter Threat Unit, or CTU, conducts proactive research on threat actors, tracking malicious groups, tactics, and techniques to ensure customers are up to date on the latest and greatest threats. Additionally, Secureworks’ SOCs generate some of the best live intelligence on the planet as teams work against threat actors across the globe every day. All these learnings are constantly synthetized by the CTU and fed into machine learning and AI systems to be baked into the company’s software. The embedded threat intelligence and years of experience running a SOC is what helps Secureworks customers secure their organizations.

The platform has been battle-tested during global cyberattacks including, among others, the Sunburst backdoor, Supernova malware, Microsoft Exchange zero-day and REvil and Ryuk ransomware—and continues to help Secureworks keep more than 2,500 global organizations secure day in and day out.

Corporate Responsibility

Secureworks believes that future growth and innovation depends on a company culture that promotes diversity and inclusion, and it seeks to advance these values in hiring, development, and advancement practices. Talent acquisition efforts are aimed at ensuring that candidates from underrepresented groups are included in external candidate interview slates, including at the executive officer level. Teams will continue to pursue inclusive employment policies that support women and diverse members of underrepresented groups.

On the environmental front, Secureworks recognizes its responsibility to contribute to the health and prosperity of society and of its customers, suppliers, and communities. The company is seeking to shrink its carbon footprint and migrate workloads to a more efficient and sustainable public cloud / SaaS environment.
