Secureworks announces expansion of its Partner First strategy across the Middle East

Secureworks, a global vendor in cybersecurity, announced expansion of its Partner First strategy to the Middle East. Effective from June 2023, all new Secureworks Taegis business in the region will be sold in collaboration with strategic partners to empower organisations to make more informed cyber decisions that drive improved security outcomes and bolster their overall security posture.

A SaaS-based, holistic security solution, Taegis enables superior threat prevention, detection, and unmatched rapid response. With its open approach, Taegis operates as the single pane of glass into an organisation’s cyber environment, enhancing cyber readiness and delivering improved return on investment.

Announced in November 2022, Partner First will continue to roll out globally throughout 2023.

“To prevent and defend against these attacks, businesses are moving to a holistic, platform-based, approach to their cyber investments to drive valuable and tangible cyber outcomes for the business,” said Gopan Sivasankaran, Regional Director META, Secureworks.

Across the Middle East, Secureworks Counter Threat Unit observes that the top three cyberthreats to organisations are data theft, ransomware, and business email compromise. As these attacks proliferate, businesses require a platform-based approach that acts as one pane of glass to ensure they are best protecting themselves against an ever-evolving adversary. This requirement has seen significant demand for Taegis across the Middle East and Partner First is integral to scaling to meet that need.

Secureworks operates across the Middle East including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE. With Partner First, the company is furthering its commitment to regionally strategic partners to capitalise on the growing market opportunity across the Middle East and expand its market share. Secureworks partners in the region will have access to sales playbooks, partner portal, training and Secureworks market intelligence as well as competitive discounts designed to provide industry margins.
