Yankee Group Names SecureWorks As a 'Market Leader' Among Managed Security Service Providers
Posted on: Tuesday, 16 August 2005, 09:00 CDT
ATLANTA, Aug. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- SecureWorks, one of the fastest growing Managed Security Services Providers (MSSP), was named by Yankee Group as a "Market Leader" among Pure Managed Security Service Providers (PMSSPs) in their DecisionNote titled: "Businesses of All Sizes Look to Managed Security Service Providers to Manage Threats."
In the report, author Andy Efstathiou, Yankee's Security Solutions & Services Program Manager, describes SecureWorks as a "firm that has a carefully planned technology road map and one which has been building comprehensive security services offerings."
Efstathiou outlines three drivers that are pushing enterprises and businesses to external service providers for help in managing security threats. They are:
- Increasing distribution of IT assets across geographically dispersed operations - Increasing sophistication and proliferation of security threats - Lack of adequate training to tackle the problem internally
Efstathiou advises that "...security is a rapidly developing area of technology. Therefore, by purchasing from external service providers, buyers can gain quicker access to additional features and apply them more consistently at scale."

SecureWorks serves over 1,200 enterprise customers, including banks, utilities, credit unions, and hospitals. It has been listed on CIO magazine's "CIO 100 List" for the past two years.
About SecureWorks
SecureWorks, a leading Managed Security Service company, protects corporate networks against hacker attacks.

Today, SecureWorks is the only service that prevents intrusions at the perimeter, firewall and host levels; monitors client networks 24x7; and provides ongoing vulnerability assessments and email encryption. The company's growth reflects corporate demand for "rock-solid" Internet security with no hassles, no headcount, and no capital outlay. SecureWorks clients do not need to hire security specialists, staff for 24- hour network monitoring, or buy capital-intensive hardware and software.
