Dell Technologies today became the latest vendor to offer extended detection and response (XDR) with a new managed security service that uses Secureworks’ Taegis XDR.

The new subscription-based, managed detection and response service targets organizations with 50 or more endpoints, and it combines Secureworks’ Taegis XDR platform and Dell Technologies security analysts.

Secureworks’ platform monitors, detects, and investigates potential threats, and then automates response across the customer’s IT environment.

Additionally, Dell’s security analysts help customers deploy security controls and integrate technologies across their data sources. When threats surface, the analysts investigate and provide recommended actions to remediate them.

The move makes sense. Dell Technologies owns about 86% of Secureworks and the parent company is moving toward offering all of its products as a service. Plus, XDR is one of the buzziest — if not the buzziest — cybersecurity acronyms at the moment, and Dell is one of the few remaining tech giants that hasn’t yet jumped into the hot new sector.

XDR combines elements of security information and event management (SIEM); security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR); endpoint detection and response (EDR); and network traffic analysis (NTA) in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform. This centralizes security data, threat hunting, and incident response.

Secureworks’ XDR combines the managed security services provider’s 20-plus years of threat intelligence and research, which includes data from 1,400+ incident response engagements in the last year. “We were XDR before XDR was XDR, because we had to pull all the things together in order to enable our own teams to be successful,” Secureworks Director of Product Management Ed Martin said in an earlier interview.

The company officially entered the XDR market in 2018 with its Red Cloak Threat Detection and Response product, which combines artificial-intelligence (AI) driven data analytics threat intelligence. A few months later, at Black Hat, it added a 24/7 managed detection and response service on top. “And we’ve been iterating on it ever since,” Martin said.

Dell’s new managed detection and response service comes as all of the major security vendors race to launch new or update existing XDR platforms.

Earlier this month Stellar Cyber integrated third-party threat intelligence feeds into its Open XDR platform, and in March, Cisco added several new capabilities and integrations to its SecureX platform.

Also this year, CrowdStrike inked a $400 million deal for Humio to boost its XDR. Trend Micro extended its XDR technology with a new platform called Vision One. And RSA added cloud native analytics and machine learning engines to its NetWitness XDR platform.

Additionally, in January, both McAfee and Fortinet launched XDR platforms.
