Dell SecureWorks, an industry leader in information security
services, 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
today’s 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.

Led by Col. (Retired) Jeff Schilling, former director of the
Army's Global Network Operations and Security Center (AGNOSC) under
the U.S. Army Cyber Command, Dell SecureWorks’ IR team leverages
global intelligence from the company’s Counter Threat Unit™ (CTU)
and Security Operations Centers (SOCs) to resolve complex,
large-scale and highly sophisticated threats.
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
- More than 300 APT malware families
Dell SecureWorks’ IR team leverages the CTU’s broad and deep
global view of threat indicators during on-site engagements. Armed
with the latest intelligence, responders can eradicate threats with
surgical precision.
Quotes:
“It’s nearly impossible for most organizations to completely
resolve a security breach on their own. It requires expertly
trained and experienced personnel with deep insight into threat
actors and their tradecraft. Using insights gained from the Dell
SecureWorks CTU, SOC and IR teams, our responders can quickly and
fully eradicate threats.”
--Jeff Schilling, Director of the Incident
Response Practice at Dell SecureWorks
“Companies have been increasingly seeking our Incident Response
expertise because of our unified security capabilities, said Kevin
Hanes, executive director of Security and Risk Consulting at Dell
SecureWorks. “Our responders have access to intelligence before
their boots even hit the ground so they can help organizations
recover quickly from security breaches.”
--Kevin Hanes, Executive Director of
Security and Risk Consulting at Dell SecureWorks
