SecureWorks acquired by Dell

As you most have heard, one of the leading managed security provider firms named SecureWorks was purchased by Dell Corporation. It is a sad day for managed security. I say it is sad because Dell does not have a good track record in security and they are well known for out sourcing their services over seas, especially to India and other places. So whats next, we get outsourced security services from across the pond. Dell should stick to what it knows best: building computers and outsourcing American jobs. They have also tried to become the “walmart” of the computer industry by just about selling anything they can get their hands on. They try to copy every new innovation on the market with their own scaled down versions of products. I cannot completely knock them. I like their pc’s but that is about the extent of it.

Yes I know money talks when it comes to these sorts of things, but as a security professional it just made me sick to see a dedicated and insightful company like SecureWorks being trashed by Dell.
