COVER STORY
Intelligence to evaluate telemetry
gathered from multiple security
controls, which includes everything
from the car information on race days to
customer data.
In addition, threats are highlighted
in real-time to our on-premises
cybersecurity team, allowing us
to make sure vulnerabilities are dealt
with instantly.
How would you summarise the
main benefits of the solutions?
We know that this complex environment
is always changing. The fact that
Secureworks works with so many blue-
chip organisations to analyse the threat
environment, the solutions and help
people embrace different technologies
means that it is far better placed to do
the heavy lift of that work and allow us
to focus on areas where we need to
pace drop.
In addition, the client portal has enabled
us to demonstrate our success to the
board as we can provide specific KPI/
KRI metrics.
How far has this future-proofed
the company?
a belief that the appropriate use of
technology transforms the workplace
and our customers’ experience.
Why did you
choose Secureworks?
Based on the trust of our technical
partnership, we want to be focusing
our time on the applications layer, the
data and our customer and product
experiences. The global nature of
Secureworks and its ever-changing
threat analysis means that we couldn’t
possibly be as good or attentive.
Secureworks analyses around 30 billion
log events for us on an annual basis
and that is an eyewatering number for a
company of our size.
Its ability to use Artificial Intelligence and
Machine Learning to spot the threats
within that data is second-to-none. We
have peace of mind that it is looking

at what’s going on in the emerging
technology space and we know that it
is monitoring threat profiles which are
constantly changing. Great partnerships
are fundamental to the way we go
about racing. It’s a partnership of which
McLaren is very proud.
Can you outline the challenges
of distributed data and how
Secureworks tackles this?
With data fundamental to our business
success, security needs to be second-to-
none and Secureworks has enabled us to
achieve this. Not only do we have security
today, but we are able to utilise its expert
team, which spends endless hours
scouring the global threat landscape,
to deliver a risk profile and strategy
that will enable us to ensure our data is
continuously kept secure and accessible.
The Secureworks platform leverages
Machine Learning and Artificial
Nothing is ever taken for granted and
who knows where the future threats are
coming from.
It’s difficult to rest easy but we have
confidence working together in
partnership with an organisation at
scale. Secureworks works with a range
of blue-chip organisations which are
using these products and services to
continually update them. This is a much
better place to be in than fighting it
alone and puts us in a strong position to
anticipate threats and react.
How have the solutions
enabled efficiencies?
As this partnership has allowed us
to outsource the majority of our
cybersecurity resources, our in-house
team are able to focus their time and
resources on any projects that bring
direct benefits to McLaren. u
