Secureworks Taegis XDR: How Partners Benefit From A Truly Open XDR Platform

Secureworks is tackling a major challenge in cybersecurity—disconnected systems and incomplete data that leave organizations vulnerable to threats. With its Taegis Open XDR platform, Secureworks is helping partners deliver comprehensive threat detection and response without requiring costly overhauls of existing IT environments.

“Open XDR is a commitment to vendor inclusiveness and a promise to our partners that they won’t need to ask their customers to rip and replace their entire technology stack in order to have a comprehensive detection and response capability,” said Ryan Alban, director of global presales strategy and operations at Secureworks a Sophos Company.

The platform integrates seamlessly with existing tools, consolidating data into a single, unified view. This approach gives solution providers and their clients real-time visibility into threats across IT environments, allowing for faster detection and response.

“Taegis unifies all telemetry into a normalized schema within our data lake so that regardless of vendor or technology, we can rapidly integrate that data into the solution and provide a consistent threat detection capability across that data to quickly surface threats before they get out of hand,” Alban explained.

Secureworks also emphasizes the long-term value of Taegis Open XDR. By storing telemetry data for at least 12 months and up to five years, the platform ensures partners can investigate threats over extended periods, meet compliance requirements and adapt to new risks as they arise.

“We’re helping businesses to avoid vendor lock-in,” Alban said. “Additionally, we store all telemetry we receive for at least 12 months and up to five years so that if you need to hunt your data because the industry learns of a new threat after the fact, that information is readily available, hot, searchable all the time.”

With its adaptability and robust data management capabilities, Taegis Open XDR equips Secureworks’ partners with the tools they need to strengthen their clients’ security posture, reduce risks and drive better outcomes.
