This annual award showcases innovative vendors in the IT channel across 36 distinct technology categories ranging from cloud to storage to networking to security. The 2024 winners were selected by a panel of CRN editors who reviewed hundreds of vendor entries and solution provider testimonials. Standout innovators were selected as finalists based on a number of criteria, including key capabilities, uniqueness, technological ingenuity, and ability to address customer and partner needs.

Taegis ManagedXDR, the company's Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solution, is recognized for enhancing security maturity and reducing risk from cyber threats, while helping organizations navigate the cybersecurity skills gap. The solution offers 24/7 threat monitoring, detection, and response to mitigate risk from a breach. In under 90 seconds, all customers can speak to a Secureworks Operations Center (SOC) analyst. Additionally, customers are supported by a team of experts that include Threat Hunters, Threat Researchers, Responders, and Customer Success Managers. This direct support ensures that organizations can fortify their defenses with skills and knowledge that would otherwise be beyond their internal capabilities. Taegis ManagedXDR has proven to reduce an organization's risk exposure by 85%, saving customers hundreds of thousands in staffing costs annually while delivering an ROI of 413% according to a Forrester Consulting TEI Study.
Powered by the Taegis XDR platform, the Secureworks MDR solution maximizes an organization's existing investments by integrating security telemetry from hundreds of sources, including threat intelligence curated by the Counter Threat Unit™, insights gleaned from thousands of threat hunts and rigorous adversarial testing.

By leveraging an open XDR platform in its approach to MDR, Secureworks provides complete coverage across the entire attack surface — endpoints, network, cloud, email, identity, OT and business applications — while maximizing existing and future security investments.
