Dell SecureWorks Launches Targeted Cyber Threat Hunting Service

Business Wire
Dell SecureWorks, an industry leader in information security
services, has launched a new Targeted Threat Hunting service aimed
at finding cyber attackers who might be lurking in an
organization’s network, intent on committing a breach. This
solution is the latest addition to the company’s Targeted Threat
Services portfolio, a comprehensive suite of security services
designed specifically to combat targeted cyber attacks.
Using cyber intelligence and proprietary hunting technology from
the Counter Threat UnitTM (CTU) research team, Dell SecureWorks
experts will thoroughly search an entity’s IT networks and host
computers for evidence of a compromise, leveraging pre-determined
intelligence of adversaries and their methods. The CTU Special
Operations team will search for any indication hackers might be
operating in the organization’s environment. If found, they will
conduct an extensive study of the threat, outline a plan to
eradicate the hackers, and put defenses in place to prevent them
from re-entering.
Every week, Dell SecureWorks learns about sophisticated threat
actors who morph their techniques to penetrate an organization’s
computer networks. Once in, hackers expand their access privileges
laterally across the network and introduce additional malware into
the environment to maintain a persistent presence.
Most organizations lack the threat intelligence, malware
analysis and forensic capabilities needed to understand the full
scope of the threat and extent of the compromise.
“The most informative way to determine if a targeted threat is
present in an environment is to collect and analyze data from
network and endpoints in unison,” said Jon Ramsey, Dell SecureWorks
CTO. “We use instrumentation, advanced analytics and visualization
tools coupled with security threat intelligence and years of
incident response experience from the Counter Threat Unit to locate
the compromise, and contain and remediate the threat.”
Targeted Threat Services Portfolio
Dell SecureWorks’ Targeted Threat Services address the entire
attack cycle and are designed specifically to combat targeted cyber
attacks. Fueled by CTU intelligence, Targeted Threat Services help
anticipate the attackers, detect their tradecraft, disrupt their
process and eradicate their presence. The services include the
following:
- Targeted Threat Intelligence –
ever-present intelligence and context on threat actors and
tradecraft being used to target one’s organization or
industry;
- Red Teaming – targeted attack
simulation using real-world tactics, techniques and
procedures;

inspection of networks and hosts for indicators of attacker
presence;
