Consulting

Incident Response Services range from emergency engagements in the event of a breach to retainer options that elevate your cybersecurity posture and ensure rapid response to a potential incident. Emergency Incident Response (EIR) responds to emergencies, quickly and effectively restoring normal operations while strengthening your security posture against future attacks. Incident Management Retainer delivers priority support, worldwide coverage, guaranteed standard and enhanced SLAs, as well as access to a wide range of incident response and security program consulting service options to help you focus on overall cybersecurity posture.

Security Assessment Testing helps organizations proactively reduce risk and mature their cybersecurity posture, reduce impact during an incident, and continuously improve and build cyber resilience. Testing delivers a variety of options for organizations of all sizes and is designed to meet a variety of business objectives. Available services include Penetration Testing (internal and external), Cloud Security Penetration Testing, Wireless Network Penetration Testing, Vulnerability Assessment, and Application Security Testing.

Adversary Exercises offer a holistic approach for cultivating and enriching your organization’s defensive team capabilities through three primary exercises – Collaborative Adversary Exercise, Adversary Simulation Exercise, Adversary Emulation Exercise – each of which can be used at different times during your organization’s security maturity or at specific times during your security improvement cycle. Testing is performed by members of the Secureworks Adversary Group, a dedicated team of top security testers who use a goal-based methodology honed over years of testing, through thousands of testing engagements.

Active Directory Security Assessment enables you to leverage the experience and insights of the Secureworks Incident Response team to understand how attackers can exploit Active Directory (AD) misconfigurations and security control gaps. The Secureworks Incident Response team sees AD vulnerabilities and misconfigurations abused in many of the cyberattacks we respond to, and rely on this experience and known best practices to look at your AD from an attacker’s viewpoint, providing recommendations for improvements to harden your security posture.

Threat Hunting Assessment delivers a comprehensive and intensive evaluation of your environment to identify unknown compromise activity and cyberthreats that could evade your existing security defenses. Our expert threat hunting team possesses the knowledge of attack patterns, experience, and the right technology to conduct analysis at scale across on-premises and cloud environments. The Taegis platform is used to deliver our threat hunting capabilities.

Cyber Awareness Services focus on end user training, a tabletop exercise, and information on the threat landscape. Secureworks security experts repeatedly respond to emergency cyber incidents that relate to end users who unknowingly click on a malicious link or give a threat actor access to sensitive data and systems. End User Training focuses on equipping your end users and initial responders with the skill sets necessary to defend your organization against common attacks. The Tabletop Exercise puts your staff through a simulated sequence of events. The Threat Landscape Briefing provides your team with a look at current threats and trends.
