Secureworks Taegis NDR Recognized as Best Network Security Solution in the 2024 Tech Ascension Awards

August 12, 2024, Atlanta, GA - Secureworks® (NASDAQ: SCWX) today announced that Secureworks Taegis™ NDR has been recognized as Best Network Security Solution in the Tech Ascension Awards. Launched earlier this year to stop threat actors from utilizing the network as a playground for cyberattacks, Taegis NDR blocks 99% of malicious activity[1] identified on the network to enable proactive risk mitigation for organizations of any size.

Threat actors are taking advantage of gaps in legacy network technologies, such as firewalls, to mask their activities. By providing a complete picture of all internal traffic moving between endpoints, as well as traffic entering and exiting the network at the edge, Taegis NDR gives organizations the visibility needed to detect threat actors, their movements across the network and stop them.

David Campbell, CEO of the Tech Ascension Awards, commented on the significance of this year's winners: "These companies have shown remarkable innovation and dedication to advancing cybersecurity, addressing the ever-evolving threats with cutting-edge solutions. Their work is crucial in protecting our digital infrastructure and ensuring a safer online environment for individuals and organizations alike. We're proud to recognize this year's winners who exemplify the spirit of excellence and innovation and set new standards for the industry. As we face increasingly complex cyber threats, their contributions will be instrumental in shaping a secure digital future."

Taegis NDR differentiates itself from other network cybersecurity solutions in three key areas:

• Threat prevention on the network: Taegis NDR threat prevention automatically blocks 99% of malicious activity on the network without impacting other network traffic. In a world where network throughput is still valued over robust cybersecurity, the vast majority of Taegis NDR customers trust Taegis NDR to automatically block threats.
• Cyber resilience through multi-layered security: Integrating with the Taegis XDR Platform equips organizations with the ability to correlate data from all telemetry sources for enhanced detection of lateral movement detection and richer investigations for improved protection.
• Superior Network Detection: Countermeasures are updated continuously by the Secureworks Counter Threat Unit™ (CTU™) to automatically protect against the latest threats.

"The advent of new technologies has completely transformed how we define the network. It has evolved to become an ecosystem of connected devices running in public and private data centers as well as at the edge. Traditional protections have not kept pace with developments, creating blind spots that threat actors can use to obfuscate their behavior," said Kyle Falkenhagen, Chief Product Officer, Secureworks. "By introducing NDR capabilities in the Taegis platform, Taegis can correlate telemetry across different threat vectors to detect adversarial behavior shining a bright light into the dark recesses of the network, giving adversaries nowhere to hide. We are honored that the judges recognized Taegis NDR in the category of Best Network Security Solution for the meaningful impact it has on customers cybersecurity posture."
