Dell SecureWorks launched a fully managed security service designed to rapidly detect advanced threat actor activity on networks.
The Advanced Malware Protection and Detection (AMPD) service combines threat intelligence from Dell SecureWorks and Lastline’s malware defense platform. Dell SecureWorks continuously monitors and inspects email, file and Web traffic on an organization’s network using purpose-built appliances. Suspicious traffic is further reviewed by advanced analysis engines hosted at Dell SecureWorks. AMPD technology is combined with the CTU-powered intelligence capabilities of a specialized security analyst team that rapidly detects, analyzes and diagnoses threats, and provides focused guidance on their removal.
“Once organizations are alerted to suspicious activity, they must rapidly respond to determine with a high degree of confidence about the level of threat in order to minimize potential impact,” said retired Col. Barry R. Hensley, executive director of the Counter Threat Unit at Dell SecureWorks. “Security teams that often use open-source intelligence for research on threat indicators alerted by their own security controls often draw the wrong conclusion on what the threat actually is. That leads to misguided actions and wasted time while an adversary remains undetected with unfettered access to their networks.”
