The centre will be hosted online on Dell SecureWorks' website. It will offer businesses security white papers, videos and webcasts with information on topics such as incident response, minimising the duration and impact of a security breach, how to recover compromised data and preserve evidence for legal action, and ways to assess how prepared the firm is for a cyber attack.
Dell SecureWorks general manager of Europe Jeffrey Longoria told V3 the centre is an essential step in its ongoing bid to protect its clients – many of which are involved in critical infrastructure areas – from the recent batch of evolved attacks facing them.
"The threat landscape is becoming more and more complex and it's harder and harder for organisations to understand and measure the risk they're facing. You break it down from one end to the other. On one end of the spectrum you have the commodity, not targeted threats that are just based on volume, and on the other end you have highly targeted threats we've all come to know as APTs," he said.
"These are very sophisticated and they take advantage of not only technology but people, the businesses processes and everything in between. This makes it extremely difficult for organisations to cover all their bases. The only way to do it is to collaborate to get the best-quality research available to plan ahead of time not only their strategy, but also their response capability so they can deal with these things in a timely manner."
The centre added to SecureWorks is one of many new security services launched by the firm this year. Dell SecureWorks previously expanded its cyber incident response (IR) portfolio to include stress test services.
The Advanced Threat Preparedness Assessment and Denial of Service (DoS) Preparedness Assessment services launched in March, and are designed to simulate attacks on customer's systems, letting them spot potential holes in their defences before they can be exploited by hackers.
