Dell SafeGuard and Response customers are also offered 24x7 managed services from Secureworks for monitoring their endpoints for unauthorized activity. Secureworks’s Security Operations Center and Counter Threat Unit will determine the severity, accuracy and context of each incident to recommend actions for remediation.

Dell SafeGuard and Response is expected to become generally available worldwide in March 2019 and it can be acquired from Dell and its channel partners.

“Attacker techniques are getting more sophisticated and customers need managed solutions that are actively guarding against threat activity,” said Wendy Thomas, senior vice president of business and product strategy at Secureworks. “Our modern approach with Dell ensures a coordinated defense against cyber threats at the scale and speed required for any customer's evolving security needs beyond the network.”

“Together [with Dell], we are equipping customers with a unique and compelling solution to deliver an end-to-end approach to endpoint security that effectively stops threats, while reducing enterprise complexity and modernizing threat detection and management,” commented Matthew Polly, vice president of Worldwide Business Development and Channels at CrowdStrike.
