Dell Buys SecureWorks
Dell (news, site) continues to diversify, adding to its traditional hardware market by moving into the IT market, this time with the acquisition of security provider SecureWorks (news, site).
SecureWorks though, is not just a security provider, it’s a security-as-a-service provider, offering managed security services, security and risk consulting services, and threat assessments.
Announcing the acquisition this week, Dell said that the buyout would give it a wider footprint in the IT-as-a-service market, which it has been expanding recently.
SecureWorks works with Global 500 companies, mid-sized businesses, financial services, healthcare, retail and manufacturing companies and aims to protect enterprise IT systems as well as improve enterprises compliance efforts.
No price was announced, but SecureWorks has more than US$ 120 million in annual revenues from companies across both the public and private sectors.
Earlier this year, CEO Michael Dell said the company would be hoping to make eight acquisitions a year for the foreseeable future to expand its product and services portfolios. GRC, it seems, is one of the areas it is looking at.
