Dell SecureWorks, Inc. announced that the company is expanding its incident response (IR) services to counter the growing severity and frequency of breaches. Many organizations aren't equipped internally to plan for and respond to increasingly sophisticated, targeted threats from cybercriminals, hackers and nation states. Dell SecureWorks' highly skilled responders and digital forensic experts can be rapidly activated to contain, eradicate and remediate security breaches. Dell SecureWorks' security solutions help organizations stay abreast of emerging threats, proactively fortify defenses, continuously detect and stop cyber-attacks, and recover quickly from security breaches. The expanded IR service portfolio includes: Advanced Threat Preparedness Assessment service assesses organizations' capabilities to resist, detect and respond to an attack by an Advanced Threat actor. The detailed review evaluates Organizational Intelligence Capabilities, Policy and Documentation, Technical Capabilities, and Personnel Management. Denial of Service (DoS) Preparedness Assessment services will help organizations understand their abilities to withstand Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, and are designed to ensure they have a tested response methodology in place. The services include capabilities reviews, tabletop exercises and DoS/DDoS stress testing under real-world conditions. Advanced Threat Tabletop Exercises evaluate an organization's ability to respond to a targeted attack. Tabletop exercises incorporate intelligence on the Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP) of targeted actors such as cybercriminals, "hacktivists" and nation-states to heighten operational learning. These exercises ensure IT incident response teams practice documented response procedures, and highlight gaps or issues with their Computer Security Incident Response Plan (CSIRP). Threat Intelligence is an Integral Part of Incident Response The CTU comprises some of the most highly regarded security researchers in the world with diverse experience and backgrounds in the private security, military and intelligence communities. With a global view of the threat environment of thousands of customers, the CTU actively monitors the cyber threat landscape and performs in-depth analysis of emerging threats and zero-day vulnerabilities. The CTU is currently tracking the following threat indicators: 2,200-plus Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) domains, 23,800-plus APT Command and Control (C2) sub-domains, 1,300-plus hardcoded APT C2 IPs.

Dell SecureWorks, Inc. announced a new Vulnerability Management Service (VMS) and a new Web Application Scanning (WAS) Service for the Cloud. These add-on Cloud security solutions are currently available for purchase by customers of Dell Public Cloud, Dell Cloud Dedicated Service and customers of VMware vCenter 5.0 environments. In addition to the vulnerability management services, Dell SecureWorks is also offering cloud customers its Global Threat Intelligence Service, a service which offers expert analysis of millions of security data points related to new vulnerabilities, emerging threats and new adversary activity. These security offerings are the first of a series of security solutions Dell SecureWorks will be launching to Cloud customers in the coming months. As part of the VMS for Cloud service, Dell SecureWorks security personnel will conduct regularly scheduled or "on demand" vulnerability scans of a customer's cloud services and applications. Meanwhile, Dell SecureWorks' Web Application Scanning (WAS) for Cloud service focuses on an organization's cloud-based Web applications. It will provide regularly scheduled and "on demand" vulnerability scans of a customer's Web applications. Security research shows that Web applications are one of the most common entry points for cyber attackers. It is, therefore, critical to ensure that all Web applications, including cloud-based applications, are properly secured. WAS for Cloud can scan web applications that reside behind login pages, enabling a security review of an organization's Web applications.
