Secureworks Brings AI-Powered Threat Prevention and Detection To The Network With Taegis NDR

New solution empowers organizations to integrate their network with all security controls to mitigate risk

ATLANTA, May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Secureworks (NASDAQ: SCWX), a global leader in cybersecurity, today announced the release of Secureworks Taegis NDR, to stop nefarious threat actors from traversing the network. The dominance of cloud applications and remote working has created an explosion in network traffic, up over 20% from 2023 to 2024¹. Adversaries are taking advantage of these increased volumes to lurk unseen and slip past defenses. Taegis NDR leverages AI to uncover hidden threats, integrating threat prevention, detection and response to halt malicious activity on the network.

Secureworks data, as measured across the company's global customer base, shows that Taegis NDR can block 99% of malicious activity identified on the network. With threat actors obfuscating their behavior, legacy network controls such as IDPs and firewalls are no longer able to keep pace or offer sufficient protection against evolving adversarial tactics. Organizations need a multi-layered cybersecurity strategy. Taegis NDR provides a complete picture of all internal traffic moving between endpoints as well as traffic entering and exiting the network at the edge. This visibility is crucial to identifying the presence of threat actors and how they are moving within the network. When integrated with the Taegis XDR platform, NDR correlates telemetry across different threat vectors to detect adversarial behavior that would otherwise be analyzed in silos and potentially missed.  

"Taegis NDR empowers us to proactively mitigate cyber risks to our business," said Steve Hey, Senior Vice President of Information Technology, Infrastructure, and Operations, National 9/11 Memorial & Museum. "It adds an extra layer of intelligence that fortifies our cyber defenses. When Taegis NDR sends us an alert, I know there's an issue so I can quickly assign my resources to tackle it and protect our business."

Managed centrally in the Taegis Platform, Taegis NDR is updated continuously with curated countermeasures based on global real-world threat intelligence to protect customer networks from the latest attack vectors. Its AI engine analyzes network traffic for anomalous application and port usage, identifying potential internal and external threats before they can cause harm, such as data exfiltration or ransomware attacks. Automated response actions fuel faster and more accurate response times. Lastly, customers don't have the burden of managing endless rules and signatures, saving them time and resources that can be deployed elsewhere.
