Secureworks Cyber Shorts: The Rise of Adversary-in-the-Middle Attacks

Many mid-market organizations face security-specific challenges as they grow. It’s not easy protecting an increasingly unique and complex environment without enough resources or staff to confidently keep up with the threats they are facing. So how can these organizations change from reactive to proactive to increase their vigilance, improve their resiliency, and gain strategic guidance to elevate their security programs? Unfortunately, many managed detection and response (MDR) solutions fall short of being able to provide a flexible and holistic solution that doesn’t break their cybersecurity budget.

This on-demand webinar covers the challenges mid-market companies face, what a more tailored MDR solution should deliver, and how Secureworks® Taegis™ ManagedXDR Plus builds on the strong foundation of MDR for significantly less than it would cost to accomplish similar outcomes internally.

How to Tailor Security with Limited Resources

In the last year, 90% of organizations have suffered identity breaches as cyber attacks involving identities grow more sophisticated and widespread(1). Organizations rely heavily on their identity infrastructure to enable collaboration, remote work, and access to internal systems. But the complexity and room for gaps and errors in these systems make it an attractive target for threat actors, posing significant risks across all sectors.

To manage user identities and control access to resources, most organizations use identity and access management (IAM) systems. It's not enough. Analysis of these systems uncovered that 95%(2) are misconfigured. These misconfigurations provide cybercriminals with opportunities to escalate privileges and leverage identities to further their attacks. While IAM systems are crucial to an organization's security strategy, they must be complemented by additional security layers to proactively combat these tactics. Identity threat detection and response (ITDR) can provide these additional layers, identifying risks and anomalies and detecting potential breaches early.

In this informational webinar, you will learn:
 • The current state of identity threats and the expanding identity attack surface
 • Why organizations benefit from identity threat prevention as well as detection and response
 • How ITDR can help safeguard against the escalating risks associated with identity threats
