New solution empowers organizations to
integrate their network with all security controls to mitigate
risk
ATLANTA, May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Secureworks® (NASDAQ:
SCWX), a global leader in cybersecurity, today announced the
release of Secureworks Taegis™ NDR, to stop nefarious threat actors
from traversing the network. The dominance of cloud applications
and remote working has created an explosion in network
traffic, up over 20% from 2023 to 20241. Adversaries are
taking advantage of these increased volumes to lurk unseen and slip
past defenses. Taegis NDR leverages AI to uncover hidden threats,
integrating threat prevention, detection and response to halt
malicious activity on the network.
Secureworks data, as measured across the company's global
customer base, shows that Taegis NDR can block 99% of malicious
activity identified on the network. With threat actors obfuscating
their behavior, legacy network controls such as IDPs and firewalls
are no longer able to keep pace or offer sufficient protection
against evolving adversarial tactics. Organizations need a
multi-layered cybersecurity strategy. Taegis NDR provides a
complete picture of all internal traffic moving between endpoints
as well as traffic entering and exiting the network at the edge.
This visibility is crucial to identifying the presence of threat
actors and how they are moving within the network. When integrated
with the Taegis XDR platform, NDR correlates telemetry across
different threat vectors to detect adversarial behavior that would
otherwise be analyzed in silos and potentially missed.
"Taegis NDR empowers us to proactively mitigate cyber risks to
our business," said Steve Hey,
Senior Vice President of Information Technology, Infrastructure,
and Operations, National 9/11 Memorial & Museum. "It adds an
extra layer of intelligence that fortifies our cyber defenses. When
Taegis NDR sends us an alert, I know there's an issue so I can
quickly assign my resources to tackle it and protect our
business."
Managed centrally in the Taegis Platform, Taegis NDR is updated
continuously with curated countermeasures based on global
real-world threat intelligence to protect customer networks from
the latest attack vectors. Its AI engine analyzes network traffic
for anomalous application and port usage, identifying potential
internal and external threats before they can cause harm, such as
data exfiltration or ransomware attacks. Automated response actions
fuel faster and more accurate response times. Lastly, customers
don't have the burden of managing endless rules and signatures,
saving them time and resources that can be deployed elsewhere.
"Network connected devices represent an opportunity for cyber
criminals, as few organizations have the central governance, and
strong policies, to ensure 100% up-to-date coverage at the
endpoint. Threat actors continue to develop stealthy and evasive
techniques to enter networks, that if not detected, inflict serious
operational and financial damage on an organization," said
Kyle Falkenhagen, Chief Product
Officer, Secureworks. "Companies need a layered cybersecurity
defense, but many lack the resources and expertise to execute on
this strategy. Taegis NDR solves this challenge, optimally
delivering reliable network protection. By integrating into the
Taegis platform, we can provide partners and customers with a more
streamlined and cost-effective, yet holistic, solution for reducing
their cyber risk."
Generally available today, and fully integrated with the Taegis
platform, key features of Taegis NDR include:
- The flexibility to inspect all network traffic and choose to
block immediately or be alerted to malicious traffic.
- The ability to continuously analyze network telemetry with deep
packet inspection (DPI), without impacting network
performance.
- 24/7 protection leveraging global real-world threat
intelligence and expertly tuned countermeasures from Secureworks
Counter Threat Unit™ (CTU™).
- Anomalous application and port usage detection powered by AI
engine.
- Full device management, eliminating the burden on in-house
teams as it includes all updates, patches, as well as hardware and
software refreshes.
- Detailed change reporting reflecting daily management of
countermeasures applied to secure the network helps organizations
comply with audit requirements.
- A daily audit of NDR detections and emergency detection updates
for urgent situations.
- The capability to be deployed both physically and virtually
based on customer needs and budget.
