Secureworks Wins Aon’s Best Employer Award in Romania

Secureworks® (NASDAQ: SCWX), a leading global cybersecurity company that protects organizations in the digitally connected world, announced today that its Romanian operation, which is part of its Centres of Excellence (SCoE), has been named a 2018 Best Employer by Aon Hewitt. Aon Hewitt is the global talent, retirement and health solutions business of Aon plc.

Now in its fifth year in Romania, the Aon Best Employer Award recognizes exceptional employers based on the strength of their brand and their culture, their employee engagement, the effectiveness of their leadership, and the organization’s ability to motivate and inspire their employees. Employees of participating companies are surveyed about these topics, and their responses contribute heavily to whether or not their organization is named Aon Best Employer.

“Recruiting, developing and retaining exceptional employees is the life blood of our business,” said Radu Leonte, Director of Advanced Security Analysis & Response for Secureworks Romania. “We do that through a rigorous talent acquisition program, coupled with a deliberate and comprehensive training and development plan, specifically designed for each role. We are thrilled to be one of only seven companies chosen to receive the 2018 Aon Romania Best Employers Award.”

“Our Best Employer Award recognizes organizations that inspire strong commitment and superior performance from their employees,” said Adriana Grecu, CEO of Aon Romania. “To win this award it is clear that Secureworks has managed its business and invested in its people to build long-term and sustainable commercial success and has focused on creating ambitious career paths for its employees.”

The Romania SCoE is now the largest of its kind in Southeast Europe, and Secureworks continues to expand the Centre’s operations by adding security specialists and security services. Since opening its doors, SCoE team members have obtained more than 1,200 security certifications and are adding more each month.

“Knowing the challenges organizations face today, Secureworks adopts a holistic approach to security, investing in people, processes and technologies that help businesses keep pace with an increasingly complex ecosystem,” said Valentin Popa, Director for Security Solutions Management for Secureworks Romania. “As a business, Secureworks has invested heavily in its Centre of Excellence, and remains focused on ensuring that the organization maintains a strong culture of knowledge sharing, staff development and progression.”
