Newest innovation breaks down silos for threat
and vulnerability prioritization creating a unified experience for
IT and SecOps teams
ATLANTA, April 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Secureworks® (NASDAQ: SCWX), a
global leader in cybersecurity, today announced the ability to
integrate vulnerability risk context with threat detection to
prevent attackers from exploiting known vulnerabilities and
expedite response times, improving an organization's security
posture. The integration between Taegis™ XDR and Taegis VDR enables
customers and partners to view known vulnerabilities in the context
of threat data to accelerate investigation and remediation plans.
Taegis is the first security platform to link the two worlds -
risk-based vulnerability management with superior threat detection
and response.
Vulnerabilities account for one-third of breaches according to
the Secureworks Counter Threat Unit™ (CTU™). Despite this,
threat detection and response and vulnerability management
functions have historically operated in silos, creating security
blind spots. By integrating vulnerability context and workflows
with threat detection, investigation, and response activities into
a single view, Secureworks closes these gaps for IT and SecOps
teams. As a result, Taegis creates a more resilient and responsive
security environment for analysts to prevent, detect, prioritize
and respond to threats, ultimately reducing risk to
organizations.
"The gap between security operations and vulnerability
management creates a disjointed response," stated Kyle Falkenhagen, Chief Product Officer,
Secureworks. "It's imperative for organizations to merge their
vulnerability management and threat detection programs. This
approach offers insights into attackers' entry points and methods,
helps with root cause analysis, and enhances security teams'
responses."
Secureworks is committed to building open solutions and starting
today, customers can utilize the Taegis Vulnerability Scanner or
ingest data from third-party vulnerability scanners to optimize
flexibility and existing investments. Ingesting data from
additional third-party vulnerability scanners will further improve
visibility and enhance the richness of available vulnerability
context.
"The integration of vulnerability management and security
operations is not just a matter of convenience; it is a strategic
imperative," said Dave Gruber,
Principal Analyst with Enterprise Strategy Group. "As
organizations continue to face a barrage of cyber threats, the
collaboration between these two functions will enable security
teams to prevent, detect, and respond to incidents most likely to
disrupt the operation. Secureworks' latest innovation bridges the
gap between these functions, bringing vulnerability context and
threat detection and response together to reduce risk."
Taegis VDR and Taegis XDR both use Machine Learning (ML)-based
prioritization algorithms to continuously improve over time. The
combination of the two systems into a single, integrated platform
improves upon both use cases by sharing additional information
about assets that are vulnerable and those that are observing
malicious activity. It also eliminates the need for security
analysts to swivel between toolsets when examining the risks posed
by vulnerabilities and threats, which can be a manual and
time-consuming process. Leveraging a unified platform that can
ingest and correlate data from both sources allows security
analysts to achieve more detailed and rapid analyses. This, in
turn, facilitates swifter remediation actions that not only halt
adversaries but also strengthen the organization's defenses against
future threats.
