`
`Dell To Acquire Secureworks
`
`Date : 1/4/2011
`Round Rock, Texas
`
`SecureWorks’ Security-as-a-Service Solutions Expand Dell’s Services Portfolio With Industry-Leading Enterprise Protection
`
`Dell today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire SecureWorks® Inc., a globally recognized provider of information-security services.
`SecureWorks’ industry leading Security-as-a-Service solutions include Managed-Security Services, Security and Risk Consulting Services and Threat
`Intelligence. The acquisition expands Dell’s global IT-as-a-Service offerings and information security expertise.
`
`Organizations of all sizes and across diverse industries – including Global 500 companies, mid-sized businesses, financial services, utilities, healthcare, retail
`and manufacturing – rely on SecureWorks’ industry-leading security services to reduce risk, improve regulatory compliance and lower costs of managing IT
`security. The company’s proprietary threat management platform is scalable and integrates easily with client environments. In addition, SecureWorks’ world-
`class Counter Threat Unit research team helps protect clients across multiple industries from ever-changing global IT threats.
`
`SecureWorks processes more than 13 billion security events and sees more than 30,000 malware specimens each day. The company has more than 1,500 banks
`and credit unions as managed security services clients and is protecting trillions of dollars in financial assets. Its reliability, capability and focus on client
`service has earned SecureWorks a best-in-class customer satisfaction rating from its global client base.
`
`The acquisition is the latest strategic investment by Dell as it expands its portfolio of enterprise-class IT-as-a-Service solutions. Building its capabilities as a
`Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) is an important next step in Dell’s strategy to help clients drive better efficiency across the enterprise and
`dramatically simplify the management of IT infrastructure.
`
`Founded in 1999, SecureWorks is headquartered in Atlanta, GA and serves thousands of clients in 70 countries, including more than 15 percent of the Fortune
`500. The company has approximately 700 employees and projects Fiscal Year 2010 revenue of more than $120 million. Gartner has positioned SecureWorks in
`the Leaders quadrant of its “Magic Quadrant for MSSPs, North America” report based on criteria that includes a company’s completeness of vision and ability
`to execute. Forrester named SecureWorks as one of only two “leaders” cited in The Forrester WaveTM: Managed Security Services, Q3 2010. SecureWorks was
`among the companies that received top ratings in several categories: including value proposition, vertical and geographic footprint, and infrastructure and
`perimeter security.
`
`Quotes
`
`“The frequency and sophistication of attacks on technology infrastructure and malicious attempts to access data, requires reliable, capable and innovative
`information security,” said Peter Altabef, President, Dell Services. “SecureWorks is a recognized industry leader in information security services and its
`offerings and expertise will immediately enhance our solutions portfolio. We look forward to welcoming SecureWorks team members – who bring their passion
`and dedication to serving clients with best-in-class security services – to Dell and our clients.”
`
`‘Dell’s global scale and relationships with clients provides a tremendous opportunity to rapidly expand SecureWorks’ business,” states Michael Cote, CEO and
`Chairman of SecureWorks. “With Dell’s commitment to our clients, our team and our market, I am confident that SecureWorks will flourish as part of the Dell
`Services organization and that our clients will continue to be well-served and well-protected by the services on which they rely.”
`
`Closing and Initial Integration
`
`The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in early 2011. Dell plans to maintain SecureWorks’ current operations and
`continue to make investments in enhanced security offerings. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
