How secure is your business?
Most IT organizations are finding it increasingly difficult to keep pace with the growing volume of ever-evolving security threats. More than 60 percent of companies have already experienced data compromise due to an exploited vulnerability,[1] and the damages from cybercrime worldwide are expected to reach USD $6 trillion in 2021.[2]
In addition to financial impact, companies risk a devastating—and potentially irreparable—loss of reputation, if customer data or security is breached.
Defense Alone is Not Enough
To fully protect the business, IT organizations must do more than put strong defenses in place. They must be able to quickly detect and effectively respond to new threats across their environment—from endpoint, to server, to network, to cloud.
Managed Threat Detection and Response
To help organizations address these issues, we’re offering Dell Technologies Managed Detection and Response powered by Secureworks® Taegis™ XDR (read the press release).
This fully managed, end-to-end, 24/7 service monitors, detects, investigates, and responds to threats across the entire IT environment, helping organizations quickly and significantly improve their security posture—while reducing the burden on IT.
Designed for organizations with 50 endpoints or more, this unique service leverages two key capabilities:
- The power of the open Secureworks Taegis XDR security analytics software, built on 20+ years of SecOps know-how including real-world threat intelligence and research and experience detecting and responding to advanced threats
- The expertise of Dell Technologies security analysts, gained through years of experience helping organizations worldwide to better protect their business
Dell Technologies Managed Detection and Response provides around-the-clock access to security experts and end-to-end visibility and protection from endpoint to cloud — covering every aspect of advanced threat detection and response supported by Teagis XDR’s database of 52,000 unique threat indicators that are managed and updated daily. Taegis XDR also ingests data from existing security solutions to leverage any previous security investments.
It’s like adding security cameras on top of the defensive measures you’ve taken to protect your home. Knowing that even strong locks can be picked and windows broken, you gain the peace
of mind with security experts, who can discern between events — like a delivery driver coming to the door or attempted break-in — are keeping watch and will respond quickly and appropriately 24/7.
Full-Service Solution
Dell Technologies security analysts assist with initial set up, monitoring, detection, remediation, and response—all for one predictable price.[1] They work closely with your IT team to understand the environment. They advise on improvements to the security posture and help you set up and deploy the Taegis XDR software agent to endpoints. Then, using the Taegis XDR application, they monitor and review alerts 24/7.
If an alert merits investigation, analysts determine and perform the appropriate response. If a threat is malicious or requires your action, you are informed and, if necessary, provided with step-by-step instructions. As part of the service, Dell Technologies also provides up to 40 hours per quarter[2] of remote remediation assistance, such as helping with troubleshooting, issue resolution, software deployments, patch and asset assessment, and configuration of IT environments.
In the event of a security incident, Dell Technologies initiates the process to get your business back up and running and provides up to 40 hours of remote incident response assistance a year.[3] Examples of remote incident response assistance include establishing a single point of contact for you, analysis of on-premises and cloud infrastructure data and logs, status tracking and reporting, and remediation planning and guidance.
