SecureWorks & Carbon Black bring next-gen AV Solution

This announcement is the next step in SecureWorks’ existing strategic partnership with Carbon Black to bring advanced endpoint security solutions to clients around the world. 

SecureWorks, a leading provider of intelligence-driven information security solutions, and Carbon Black, the leader in next-generation endpoint security, are teaming up to bring managed, next-generation antivirus (NGAV) protection to clients to block sophisticated security threats.

As a part of SecureWorks’ advanced endpoint security solutions, SecureWorks will offer Advanced Endpoint Threat Prevention (AETP), a next-generation antivirus service powered by Carbon Black’s Cb Defense. Using a combination of endpoint and cloud-based technologies, Cb Defense delivers a breakthrough security model known as “streaming prevention” to block malware as well as increasingly common attacks that exploit memory and scripting languages, such as PowerShell.

“We are excited to be working with Carbon Black to deliver a solution that blocks a broad spectrum of attacks that traditional antivirus generally misses,” said Matt Eberhart, vice president of global product management at SecureWorks. “Our clients tell us about the need for a simple solution that combines the black-and-white decisions of next-gen anti-malware protection with a service that also has the necessary endpoint telemetry to rapidly respond to adversary activity that you can’t prevent.”

“Customers can now enjoy the benefit of breakthrough prevention technology combined with world-class detection and response services,” said Tom Barsi, Carbon Black’s senior vice president of business development. “These customers no longer have to make a choice about which is more important. This offering provides full protection with one technology in Carbon Black, and one service provider in SecureWorks.”

By leveraging Cb Defense, SecureWorks’ AETP service will offer enterprises and SMB clients protection against advanced attacks, SecureWorks intelligence and 24X7 monitoring.

The offering is slated to be available in the second quarter of 2017.
