About

Secureworks is a leading cybersecurity company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, operating as a subsidiary of Dell Technologies.

The company's Counter Threat Unit research team is one of the most respected threat intelligence groups in the industry, providing adversary-focused insights that directly inform their offensive security engagements.

Secureworks' penetration testing services leverage this real-world threat intelligence to simulate the tactics, techniques, and procedures used by actual threat actors, resulting in highly realistic assessments.

Secureworks is particularly strong in combining penetration testing with their Taegis XDR platform, giving clients visibility into both offensive test results and their defensive detection capabilities.
