Japanese companies rank the damage caused from ransomware and Advanced Persistent Threats as their top two biggest information security concerns according to IPA. In September 2022, the Japanese National Police Agency reported an 87% uplift in ransomware incidents for the first half of the year compared to 2021. As ransomware escalates, businesses are increasingly looking for new ways to enhance their cyber defenses.
“The economics of cybersecurity must change. XDR has the clear advantage over siloed, point cybersecurity solutions, which provide blind spots for threat actors to lurk in. As companies in Japan seek to evolve their business models with new technologies, cybersecurity must be an accelerant, not an inhibitor,” said Wendy Thomas, President and CEO, Secureworks. “We’ve brought together two decades of real-world cyber experience, with more than nine years operating in Japan, to take cybersecurity defense to a new level and fundamentally change the economic dynamics of cybercrime.”
Taegis is a cloud-native, holistic security solution that enables superior threat detection and unmatched rapid response. With its open approach, Taegis integrates feeds from third party tools that are normalized and analyzed, along with Secureworks own proprietary data and threat intelligence, in real time, to help identify and resolve threats. This enables organizations to empower their security analysts to cut through the noise of alerts, prioritize the most serious events, and reduce risk.
