Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR for OT

Overview

The ManagedXDR for OT Service (“Service”) provides Customer with access to a team of security professionals (the (“OT Specialist Team”), herein referred to as the (“Specialist Team”)) to conduct in-depth analysis for investigations as well as orchestrated response and remediation related to Customer’s OT Environment.

The Specialist Team is available 24x7 via chat, email, and ticket. Customer must purchase the ManagedXDR service (“ManagedXDR”) in conjunction with this Service. For more information, see the ManagedXDR service description. As part of ManagedXDR, the ManagedXDR Security Analysts will review and investigate Threats detected within Customer’s XDR (“XDR”) tenant(s). Threats requiring further analysis as determined by Secureworks will result in creation of an Investigation within XDR. The Specialist Team will conduct additional analyses of investigations identified in XDR related to assets associated with Customer’s OT environment. After analysis is completed for each Investigation, the Specialist Team will take appropriate action based on the documentation developed during Onboarding.

All capitalized words and phrases shall have the meanings set forth herein, as defined in the Glossary, or within the Secureworks-applicable agreement, such as the Customer Relationship Agreement.

Service Components

24x7 Access to OT Specialist Team

Customer will have access to the OT Specialist Team 24x7 via methods described above. From a remote location, the Specialist Team will conduct work on Customer’s behalf and support Customer as defined herein. The Specialist Team will communicate with Customer through email and Secureworks Ticketing System for support related to the activities described herein. The Specialist Team will also communicate with Customer through telephone solely for OT related investigations deemed by Secureworks to be High or Critical.

Threat Investigations

The Specialist Team will conduct Threat Investigations aligned to the following categories:

For all Investigations, upon confirmation of a Threat by the Specialist Team, the Specialist Team will help orchestrate responses and remediation with Customer, which includes communicating with responsible stakeholders and advising Customer about appropriate actions.

Note

The Specialist Team will focus solely on Cybersecurity Threats identified or validated by XDR. Events generated by Customer OT Monitoring Technology related to SCADA alerts, vulnerability scanning, or patching are not considered Threats by this service and will not be investigated. Such out-of-scope events may be data points included in the investigation of a Cybersecurity Threat.

Investigation Procedures

The Specialist Team will primarily operate within XDR as well as Secureworks internal tools. The Specialist Team will investigate all XDR alerts determined by Secureworks teams to be Threats. The Specialist Team will perform investigations based on Secureworks best practices, the initial findings of ManagedXDR Security Analysts, and business context provided by the Customer during Onboarding and in an on-going fashion, as well as follow the escalation procedures for OT related Threats that will be developed by Customer and Secureworks during Onboarding. Additionally, the Specialist Team will directly access Customer’s supported OT Monitoring Technology, as needed, to enhance their investigations. Access for the Specialist Team to such platforms must be provided and maintained by the Customer. Customer acknowledges that not providing or maintaining this access for the Specialist Team limits the service that the Specialist Team can provide until the access is restored. The Specialist Team will use the Customer’s OT Monitoring Technology to conduct analyses, identify additional business context, and determine their recommendations.

Note

The Specialist Team does not conduct any activities related to managing Customer’s systems and tools (e.g., no software license or platform/configuration management).

Service Phases

There are two primary phases for delivering the Service: Onboarding and Steady State.

Onboarding

This phase will be managed by an assigned Program Manager (“PM”). The PM will coordinate the activities that must be completed during this phase. Secureworks will guide Customer through multiple activities to help ensure that the Specialist Team has the access, familiarity, and context needed to deliver the Service to Customer. Onboarding is expected to be completed within 6-8 weeks; timeline will be based on dependencies and the project plan that will be agreed-upon during Onboarding.

Steady State

Steady State commences when the Onboarding Checklist is completed and Customer has satisfied all Steady State requirements for the standard ManagedXDR service, which must accompany this Service (see ManagedXDR Onboarding Guide). During Steady State, the Specialist Team will conduct investigations and apply Customer’s business context based on their knowledge of OT security and information from Customer’s supported OT Monitoring Technology. When the Specialist Team confirms a Threat, they will advise on response and remediation for Customer and will collaborate with Customer-designated personnel as appropriate.

The table below indicates timing and activities conducted by Secureworks during the Service Phases. Please note that timing is approximate and predicated on Customer performing its responsibilities described herein.
