Dell SecureWorks, an industry leader in information security
services, was ranked as the No. 1 MSSP (Managed Security Services
Provider) to watch in Gartner’s “Market Trends: Managed Security
Services, Worldwide, 2013”1 report.
The Gartner report is a comprehensive worldwide study of overall
MSSP market trends, including the technology enhancements MSSPs are
currently building into their solutions, the market challenges they
face, current enterprise MSSP buying trends, and the overall growth
of the global and regional MSSP sector. Click here to download the

The Gartner report stated the following when referring to the
need for MSSPs to provide advanced threat detection and protection
technologies:
“Enterprise buyers have recognized that various traditional
security technologies based on signature match have become
increasingly commoditized while newly emerging technologies to
address these more advanced threats are gaining traction in the
market. …During Gartner interviews, several MSSPs have indicated
plans to announce advanced threat protection appliances into their
management and monitoring services portfolios while others have
already announced support. …Additionally, the specific MSS
capabilities for analyzing large customer event datasets to
identify key events, trends, behaviors or patterns, and develop
threat countermeasures, will be key to whether MSSPs are relevant
in future targeted attack conversations…”
Dell SecureWorks launched its management and monitoring of the
FireEye Malware Protection System™ (MPS) family of appliances in
December 2012 to provide its customers with an additional layer of
protection against spear phishing, web and other obfuscated attacks
typically used in Advanced Persistent Threat campaigns. FireEye® is
a leader in advanced threat protection.
According to the Gartner report, “Best Practices for Mitigating
Advanced Persistent Threats”2 published in September this year,
“Security program managers need to develop a strategy for dealing
with advance threats leveraging both tactical best-practice
technology configurations and emerging technologies and incident
response processes in order to properly address the most common
advanced targeted attack scenarios to increase both detection and
prevention capabilities.”
Dell SecureWorks recently expanded its support for FireEye
Malware Protection Systems™ (MPS) with new services that provide
contextual threat analysis of FireEye alerts. Dell SecureWorks is
not only monitoring and managing FireEye appliances but is
providing customers with valuable insight into the associated
malware and the context behind the detected attacks. Most
importantly, Dell SecureWorks’ security analysts are correlating
the FireEye events with FireEye and non-FireEye threats to give
customers insight into where the attack is coming from, what the
potential intent of the attackers is, where this type of attack has
previously been seen, and what actions customers can take to
protect themselves from similar attacks.
Dell SecureWorks has a comprehensive portfolio of managed
security service offerings which span from Managed Intrusion
Prevention and Detection Services to Log Monitoring to Managed Web
Application Firewall services. With thousands of customers
worldwide, Dell SecureWorks processes more than 60 billion cyber
events daily, giving the security provider an unparalleled view
into the attack landscape. This intelligence, combined with the
expertise of its Counter Threat Unit (CTU) research team and the
advanced technology of its Counter Threat Platform, enables Dell
SecureWorks to correlate, analyze and condense billions of cyber
events into actionable, meaningful intelligence. Using this
intelligence, Dell SecureWorks managed services are continually
being updated and refined to provide the very best protection for
organizations’ most valuable informational assets.
