THE KRAFT GROUP BULKS UP THEIR CYBERSECURITY EFFORTS BY TEAMING WITH SECUREWORKS

“Here at Gillette stadium, technology is playing a critical role in changing the way we do business with our guests. One example of that is our point-of-sale environment in which guests now have the ability to purchase right from their seats. To order from their seats, to engage with special views, fancam views, to just interact in different ways that they never have before,” said Michael Israel, CIO of The Kraft Group. As The Kraft Group was undergoing a transformation across all IT, leadership teams recognized that security needed to evolve at an equal pace and align to the overall IT strategy.?

“The shortage of talent is critical. With the volume of alerts that come in on any given day, the team that we have just can't evaluate all of these things in real time to be effective. The use of Secureworks and having the Secureworks team behind us allows us to essentially expand our team beyond its reach. We would never be able to expand to the level of what Secureworks is providing us.”

On August 29, 2023, U.S. law enforcement?announced ?a multinational operation that disrupted the Qakbot botnet (also known as Qbot) and associated infrastructure. Secureworks? Counter Threat Unit? (CTU) researchers have long maintained active monitoring of the botnet and?detected ?the disruption activity on August 25.

During the takedown, law enforcement identified over 700,000 infected computers and?seized ?more than $8.6 million USD in illicit profits. The botnet was lucrative for the?GOLD LAGOON ?threat group, which has operated the Qakbot malware since 2007.

Good news: Microsoft's E5 license now includes bundled security functions, including its Defender suite. The bad news is these bundled functions aren't a complete solution to your cybersecurity needs.

So as a cybersecurity leader committed to E5 licensing, you face two critical conundrums:

2. Leveraging the E5-bundled security you've already paid for most – effectively.
