Case Study: GKN Wheels and Structures achieves 24x7 security visibility and rapid incident response with Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR

Managed Detection and Response Provided by Secureworks® Taegis™ ManagedXDR

GKN Wheels and Structures, a global manufacturer with roughly 850–900 employees and a lean IT staff of about 10, lacked 24x7 security expertise and had limited visibility into threats, leaving leaders asking “what if we were attacked?” To address long third‑party response times (up to 72 hours) and fill skill gaps, GKN Wheels and Structures partnered with Secureworks and deployed Taegis™ ManagedXDR.

Secureworks implemented Taegis ManagedXDR to provide continuous 24x7 monitoring, a centralized dashboard, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and hands‑on SecOps support. The service immediately identified suspicious activity the day it went live, replacing slow third‑party waits with real‑time triage and escalation, improving visibility, speeding response, enabling better resource allocation, and shifting the organization toward proactive threat prevention.
