Secureworks CEO Wendy Thomas, who visited Australia in July 2024, told TechRepublic that the XDR offering was appealing to mid-market customers in Australia who may not have the budget or capabilities to build their own security operations centre but are concerned about the possibility of cyber attacks - especially after a number of large local breaches in the region.
Thomas added that the future of cyber security in Australia and APAC could include more offensive operations from governments in cooperation with private-sector security providers to disrupt or take down threat actors.
The demand for simple, straightforward, predictably priced, outcome-focused security solutions has been the main source of our recent growth here in Australia.
That's where there's a lot of opportunity to show people it is not as complex as they might think to hold a partner like Secureworks accountable to those security outcomes.
TR: Australia recently released its 2023-2030 Cyber Security Strategy, but they've also experienced a number of high-profile attacks.
As a cyber security player, are there any implications for customers and for your business?
