SecureWorks threat intelligence and what it can do for your enterprise

SecureWorks Inc. is a Dell spinoff that offers global threat intelligence and targeted threat intelligence to customers, along with malware analysis, reverse engineering, managed security, security and risk consulting, incident response, and cloud security.

SecureWorks Global Threat Intelligence is a generalized, or nontargeted, threat intelligence service developed by the SecureWorks Counter Threat Unit (CTU) research team. Intelligence is based on threat data collected across thousands of SecureWorks global customers, which is then filtered and analyzed by CTU security researchers.

SecureWorks customers use this intelligence to understand the landscape of emerging threats; threat actors and their evolving tactics, techniques and procedures; known, but significant, threats; and newly identified vulnerabilities. Intelligence reports include guidance for customers to take the appropriate actions to secure their environments.

SecureWorks Targeted Threat Intelligence, on the other hand, can be tailored to a customer's environment, organization (brand) and executives to identify potential threats and threat actors that represent a probable risk.

Enterprise Brand Surveillance provides ongoing, real-time monitoring of information outlets to identify threat actors targeting a particular organization. Information Briefs and Threat Profiles are one-time reports that show the type of information an attacker could gather at a point in time about an organization and/or its management.

SecureWorks intelligence services also include regular intelligence summary reports, emerging threat bulletins and live threat intelligence webinars.

Regarding CTU support, customers may request threat and vulnerability information from CTU researchers, who typically respond within one day of the request. The CTU can also provide custom malware analysis.

Customers of SecureWorks threat intelligence can access intelligence information, data feeds and more through a SecureWorks customer portal. The portal features several dashboards that display the number of relevant events by severity, customer event analysis, a source countries map, business risk trends and more.
