Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation	DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Description of the Business SecureWorks Corp. (individually and collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Secureworks" or the "Company") is a leading global provider of technology-driven information security solutions singularly focused on protecting the Company's customers from cyber attacks. On April 27, 2016, the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO"). Upon the closing of the IPO, Dell Technologies Inc. ("Dell Technologies"), a parent holding corporation, owned, indirectly through Dell Inc. (individually and collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Dell") and Dell Inc.'s subsidiaries, no shares of the Company's outstanding Class A common stock and all outstanding shares of the Company's outstanding Class B common stock, which as of November 1, 2019 represented approximately 86.2% of the Company's total outstanding shares of common stock and approximately 98.4% of the combined voting power of both classes of the Company's outstanding common stock. The Company has one primary business activity, which is to provide customers with information security solutions. The Company's chief operating decision maker, who is the President and Chief Executive Officer, makes operating decisions, assesses performance, and allocates resources on a consolidated basis. There are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations and operating results below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, Secureworks operates its business as a single reportable segment. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company's financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. For the periods presented, Dell has provided various corporate services to the Company in the ordinary course of business, including finance, tax, human resources, legal, insurance, IT, procurement and facilities-related services. The costs of these services are charged in accordance with a shared services agreement that went into effect on August 1, 2015. For more information regarding the charges for these services and related party transactions, see " Note 11 —Related Party Transactions." During the periods presented in the financial statements, Secureworks did not file separate federal tax returns, as the Company is generally included in the tax grouping of other Dell entities within the respective entity's tax jurisdiction. The income tax benefit has been calculated using the separate return method, modified to apply the benefits for loss approach. Under the benefits for loss approach, net operating losses or other tax attributes are characterized as realized or as realizable by Secureworks when those attributes are utilized or expected to be utilized by other members of the Dell consolidated group. See " Note 10 —Income and Other Taxes" for more information. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals and disclosures considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended February 1, 2019 included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2019 (the "Annual Report"). Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Friday closest to January 31. The Company refers to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2020 and the fiscal year ended February 1, 2019 as fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 , respectively. Both fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 have 52 weeks, and each quarter has 13 weeks. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, estimates are used when accounting for revenue arrangements, determining the cost of revenue, allocating costs and estimating the impact of contingencies. In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, estimates are used in determining the valuation and recoverability of assets, such as accounts receivables, inventories, fixed assets, goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets, and estimates are used in determining the reported amounts of liabilities, such as taxes payable and the impact of contingencies, all of which also impact the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Leases —The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," effective February 2, 2019. Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842 "Leases" requires lessees to recognize operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, representing their right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. The guidance also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective method and utilized the optional transition method under which the Company will continue to apply the legacy guidance in ASC 840, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative period presented. In addition, Secureworks elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which permits the following: (i) carry forward the historical lease classification, (ii) not separate lease components from non-lease components within the Company's facility lease contracts, (iii) not present comparative periods but rather record a cumulative catch-up during fiscal 2020, and (iv) allow the Company to elect, by asset class, not to record on the balance sheet a lease whose term is twelve months or less including reasonably certain renewal options. As a result of the adoption for the fiscal year beginning February 2, 2019, the Company recorded initial operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, all related to real estate, of $28.0 million and $31.8 million , respectively. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Except for the accounting policies for leases, updated as a result of adopting ASC 842, there have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the nine months ended November 1, 2019 , as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report. Leases —The Company determines if any arrangement is, or contains, a lease at inception based on whether or not the Company has the right to control the asset during the contract period and other facts and circumstances. Secureworks is the lessee in a lease contract when the Company obtains the right to control the asset. Operating leases are included in the line items operating lease right-of-use assets, net; accrued and other; and operating lease liabilities, non-current in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company determines the lease term by assuming the exercise of renewal options that are reasonably certain. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, Secureworks uses the Company's incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of future payments. When the Company's contracts contain lease and nonlease components, the Company accounts for both components as a single lease component. Refer to " Note 7 —Leases" for further discussion. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software —In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in such cloud computing arrangements with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The updated guidance is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning in the Company's 2021 fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. Entities may choose to adopt the new guidance prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. Intangibles - Goodwill and Other —In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which required the Company to determine the implied fair value of goodwill by allocating the reporting unit's fair value to each of its assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit was acquired in a business acquisition. Instead, the updated guidance requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, and recognizing a non-cash impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, with the loss not exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The updated guidance is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning in the Company's 2021 fiscal year, with early adoption permitted, and will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Financial Instruments - Credit Losses —In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." The amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The update is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning with the Company's 2021 fiscal year, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Loss Per Share

Loss Per Share	9 Months Ended
	Nov. 01, 2019
Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Loss Per Share	LOSS PER SHARE Loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss for the periods presented by the respective weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, and excludes any share-based awards that may be anti-dilutive. Diluted loss per common share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares, including common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and unvested restricted common stock and restricted stock units. The Company applies the two-class method to calculate earnings per share. Because the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock share the same rights in dividends and earnings, earnings per share (basic and diluted) are the same for both classes. Since losses were incurred in all periods presented, all potential common shares were determined to be anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of loss per common share (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended November 1, 2019 November 2, 2018 November 1, 2019 November 2, 2018 Numerator: Net loss $ (7,908 ) $ (3,735 ) $ (26,438 ) $ (27,323 ) Denominator: Weighted-average number of shares outstanding: Basic and Diluted 80,518 80,892 80,553 80,751 Loss per common share: Basic and Diluted $ (0.10 ) $ (0.05 ) $ (0.33 ) $ (0.34 ) Weighted-average anti-dilutive stock options, non-vested restricted stock and restricted stock units 5,122 5,287 5,275 5,355

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Contract Balances and Contract Costs	CONTRACT BALANCES AND CONTRACT COSTS Promises to provide services related to the Company's subscription-based managed security solutions are accounted for as a single performance obligation over an average period of two years . Performance obligations related to the Company's security and risk consulting professional service contracts are separate obligations associated with each service. Although the Company has many multi-year customer relationships for its various professional services, the arrangement is typically structured as separate performance obligations over the contract period and recognized over a duration of less than one year . The following table presents revenue by service type (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended November 1, 2019 November 2, 2018 November 1, 2019 November 2, 2018 Managed Security Solutions revenue $ 109,344 $ 100,521 $ 311,210 $ 297,656 Security and Risk Consulting revenue 31,988 32,539 99,569 90,343 Total revenue $ 141,332 $ 133,060 $ 410,779 $ 387,999 Deferred revenue represents the aggregate amount of billing in advance of service delivery. Therefore, the Company invoices its customers based on a variety of billing schedules. The deferred revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year, non-cancelable subscription agreements. During the nine months ended November 1, 2019 , on average, 57% of the Company's recurring revenue was billed in advance and approximately 43% was billed on either a monthly or a quarterly basis. In addition, many of the Company's professional services engagements are billed in advance of service commencement. The deferred revenue balance is influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the compounding effects of renewals, invoice duration and invoice timing. Changes to the Company's deferred revenue during the nine months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 are as follows (in thousands): As of February 1, 2019 Upfront payments received and billings during the nine months ended November 1, 2019 Revenue recognized during the nine months ended November 1, 2019 As of November 1, 2019 Deferred revenue $ 173,929 $ 209,596 $ (199,673 ) $ 183,852 As of February 2, 2018* Upfront payments received and billings during the nine months ended November 2, 2018 Revenue recognized during the nine months ended November 2, 2018 As of November 2, 2018 Deferred revenue $ 152,645 $ 171,946 $ (160,359 ) $ 164,232 * Certain prior period amounts have been adjusted as a result of the adoption of the accounting standard for revenue recognition set forth in ASC 606. Remaining Performance Obligation The remaining performance obligation represents the transaction price allocated to contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and non-cancellable contracts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. The remaining performance obligation consists of two elements: (i) the value of remaining services to be provided through the contract term for customers whose services have been activated ("active"); and (ii) the value of services contracted with customers that have not yet been installed ("backlog"). Backlog is not recorded in revenue, deferred revenue or elsewhere in the condensed consolidated financial statements until the Company establishes a contractual right to invoice, at which point it is recorded as revenue or deferred revenue, as appropriate. The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC paragraph 606-10-50-14(a) and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that are part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. The Company expects that the amount of backlog relative to the total value of its contracts will change from year to year due to several factors, including the amount invoiced at the beginning of the contract term, the timing and duration of the Company's customer agreements, varying invoicing cycles of agreements and changes in customer financial circumstances. Accordingly, fluctuations in backlog are not always a reliable indicator of future revenues. As of November 1, 2019 , the Company expects to recognize remaining performance obligations as follows (in thousands): Total Expected to be recognized in the next 12 months Expected to be recognized in 12-24 months Expected to be recognized in 24-36 months Expected to be recognized thereafter Performance obligation - active $ 274,332 $ 157,836 $ 85,636 $ 27,731 $ 3,129 Performance obligation - backlog 19,004 7,251 6,948 4,685 120 Total $ 293,336 $ 165,087 $ 92,584 $ 32,416 $ 3,249 Deferred Commissions and Fulfillment Costs The Company capitalizes a significant portion of its commission expense and related fringe benefits earned by its sales personnel. Additionally, the Company capitalizes certain costs to install and activate hardware and software used in its managed security solutions, primarily related to a portion of the compensation for the personnel who perform the installation activities. These deferred costs are amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the assets relate. Changes in the balance of total deferred commission and total deferred fulfillment costs during the nine months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 are as follows (in thousands): As of February 1, 2019 Amount capitalized Amount recognized As of November 1, 2019 Deferred commissions $ 62,895 $ 11,113 $ (13,823 ) $ 60,185 Deferred fulfillment costs 10,973 4,520 (4,115 ) 11,378 As of February 2, 2018* Amount capitalized Amount recognized As of November 2, 2018 Deferred commissions $ 57,229 $ 13,938 $ (10,643 ) $ 60,524 Deferred fulfillment costs 10,163 4,426 (3,779 ) 10,810 * Certain prior period amounts have been adjusted as a result of the adoption of the accounting standard for revenue recognition set forth in ASC 606. As referenced in the Company's Annual Report, deferred commissions are recognized on a straight-line bases over the life of the customer relationship, which is estimated to be seven years . During the three months ended November 1, 2019 , the Company determined a change in the estimated life of the customer relationship to be six years , which led to additional commission expense of $2.2 million . The net impact of this change is an increase in operating loss for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 of $2.2 million on a pre-tax basis, or $0.02 on a per share basis. The Company did not record any impairment losses on the deferred commissions or deferred fulfillment costs during the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 .

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill relates to the acquisition of Dell by Dell Technologies and represents the excess of the purchase price attributable to Secureworks over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. There were no additions, adjustments or impairments to goodwill during the periods presented. Accordingly, goodwill totaled $416.5 million as of November 1, 2019 and February 1, 2019 . Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis during the third fiscal quarter of each fiscal year, or earlier if an indicator of impairment occurs. The Company completed the most recent annual impairment test in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 by performing a qualitative assessment of goodwill at the reporting unit level. In performing this qualitative assessment, the Company evaluated events and circumstances since the date of the last quantitative impairment test, including the results of that test, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, key financial metrics and the overall financial performance of the Company. After assessing the totality of the events and circumstances, the Company determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the Secureworks reporting unit was less than its carrying amount and, therefore, that the first step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test was unnecessary. Further, no triggering events have subsequently transpired that would indicate potential impairment as of November 1, 2019 . Intangible Assets The Company's intangible assets as of November 1, 2019 and February 1, 2019 were as follows: November 1, 2019 February 1, 2019 Gross Accumulated Amortization Net Gross Accumulated Amortization Net (in thousands) Customer relationships $ 189,518 $ (87,723 ) $ 101,795 $ 189,518 $ (77,152 ) $ 112,366 Technology 137,371 (82,149 ) 55,222 135,584 (71,620 ) 63,964 Finite-lived intangible assets 326,889 (169,872 ) 157,017 325,102 (148,772 ) 176,330 Trade name 30,118 — 30,118 30,118 — 30,118 Total intangible assets $ 357,007 $ (169,872 ) $ 187,135 $ 355,220 $ (148,772 ) $ 206,448 Amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets was approximately $7.1 million and $21.1 million for each of the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , and $6.9 million and $20.8 million for each of the three and nine months ended November 2, 2018 . Amortization expense is included within cost of revenue and general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no impairment charges related to intangible assets during the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 or November 2, 2018

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	DEBT Revolving Credit Facility On November 2, 2015, SecureWorks, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SecureWorks Corp., entered into a revolving credit agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Inc. under which the Company obtained a $30 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility. This facility was initially available for a one -year term beginning on April 21, 2016 and was extended on the same terms for successive one -year terms ending on March 27, 2019. During the three months ended May 3, 2019, the facility was amended and restated to extend the maturity date to March 26, 2020 and to increase the annual rate at which interest accrues to the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.50% . All other terms remained substantially the same. Under the facility, up to $30 million principal amount of borrowings may be outstanding at any time. Amounts under the facility may be borrowed, repaid, and reborrowed from time to time during the term of the facility. The proceeds from loans made under the facility may be used for general corporate purposes. The credit agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default. The unused portion of the facility is subject to a commitment fee of 0.35% , which is due upon expiration of the facility. The maximum amount of borrowings may be increased by up to an additional $30 million by mutual agreement of the lender and borrower. The borrower will be required to repay, in full, all of the loans outstanding, including all accrued interest, and the facility will terminate upon a change of control of SecureWorks Corp. or following a transaction in which SecureWorks, Inc. ceases to be a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SecureWorks Corp.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Contingencies — From time to time, the Company is involved in claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. The Company reviews the status of such matters at least quarterly and adjusts its liabilities as necessary to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other relevant information. Whether the outcome of any claim, suit, assessment, investigation or legal proceeding, individually or collectively, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will depend on a number of factors, including the nature, timing and amount of any associated expenses, amounts paid in settlement, damages or other remedies or consequences. To the extent new information is obtained and the Company's views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations or legal proceedings change, changes in accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period in which such a determination is made. As of November 1, 2019 , the Company does not believe that there were any such matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Customer-based Taxation Contingencie s — Various government entities ("taxing authorities") require the Company to bill its customers for the taxes they owe based on the services they purchase from the Company. The application of the rules of each taxing authority concerning which services are subject to each tax and how those services should be taxed involves the application of judgment. Taxing authorities periodically perform audits to verify compliance and include all periods that remain open under applicable statutes, which generally range from three to four years . These audits could result in significant assessments of past taxes, fines and interest if the Company were found to be non-compliant. During the course of an audit, a taxing authority may question the Company's application of its rules in a manner that, if the Company were not successful in substantiating its position, could result in a significant financial impact to the Company. In the course of preparing its financial statements and disclosures, the Company considers whether information exists that would warrant disclosure or an accrual with respect to such a contingency. Indemnifications —In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements under which it agrees to indemnify its customers from certain losses incurred by the customer as to third-party claims relating to the services performed on behalf of the Company or for certain losses incurred by the customer as to third-party claims arising from certain events as defined within the particular contract. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments related to these indemnifications have been immaterial. Concentrations —The Company sells solutions to customers of all sizes primarily through its direct sales organization, supplemented by sales through channel partners. The Company had no customer that represented 10% or more of its net revenue for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 or November 2, 2018

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation And Other Long-Term Performance Incentives	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND OTHER LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE INCENTIVES The Company's board of directors adopted the SecureWorks Corp. 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan") effective April 18, 2016. The 2016 Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, unrestricted stock, dividend equivalent rights, other equity-based awards, and cash bonus awards. Awards may be granted under the 2016 Plan to individuals who are employees, officers, or non-employee directors of the Company or any of its affiliates, consultants and advisors who perform services for the Company or any of its affiliates, and any other individual whose participation in the 2016 Plan is determined to be in the best interests of the Company by the compensation committee of the board of directors. During Fiscal 2019, the 2016 Plan was amended to increase the total shares of Class A common stock available for issuance by an additional 4,000,000 shares. Under the 2016 Plan, the Company granted 171,100 and 1,444,104 restricted stock units during the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , respectively, and 131,600 and 1,850,008 restricted stock units during the three and nine months ended November 2, 2018 , respectively. The Company granted no restricted stock awards for the three months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 , and 175,000 and 405,000 restricted stock awards during the nine months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 , respectively. The annual restricted stock unit and restricted stock awards granted during fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 vest over a three -year period and approximately 50% of such awards are subject to performance conditions. In March 2017, the Company began granting long-term performance cash awards to certain employees under the 2016 Plan. The employees who receive these performance cash awards do not receive equity awards as part of the long-term incentive program. The long-term performance cash awards are subject to various performance conditions and vest in equal annual installments over a three-year period. During the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , the Company granted long-term performance cash awards of $0.2 million and $6.9 million , respectively. The Company made no grants for the three months ended November 2, 2018 and granted $15.7 million for the nine months ended November 2, 2018 . The Company recognized $1.8 million and $5.3 million of related compensation expense for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , respectively, and related compensation expense of $1.6 million and $5.1 million for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2018

Income and Other Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income and Other Taxes	INCOME AND OTHER TAXES The Company's effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 was as follows (in thousands, except percentages): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended November 1, 2019 November 2, 2018 November 1, 2019 November 2, 2018 Loss before income taxes $ (11,392 ) $ (5,505 ) $ (38,692 ) $ (35,750 ) Income tax benefit $ (3,484 ) $ (1,770 ) $ (12,254 ) $ (8,427 ) Effective tax rate 30.6 % 32.2 % 31.7 % 23.6 % During the periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company did not file separate federal tax returns as the Company generally was included in the tax grouping of other Dell entities within the respective entity's tax jurisdiction. The income tax benefit has been calculated using the separate return method, modified to apply the benefits-for-loss approach. Under the benefits-for-loss approach, net operating losses or other tax attributes are characterized as realized by the Company when those attributes are utilized by other members of the Dell consolidated group. The Company's effective tax benefit rate was 30.6% and 31.7% for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , respectively, and 32.2% and 23.6% for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2018 , respectively. The change in the Company's effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 compared with the effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2018 was primarily attributable to the impact of certain discrete adjustments related to stock-based compensation expense in the current periods of approximately $0.5 million and $2.6 million , respectively. The change related specifically to the impact of the vesting of certain equity awards for which the fair value on the vesting date was higher than the fair value on the date the equity awards were originally granted. This change in fair value, which is measured by the price of the Class A common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, resulted in a higher actual tax deduction than was deducted for financial reporting purposes. As of November 1, 2019 and February 1, 2019 , the Company had $4.8 million and $4.7 million , respectively, of deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards for state tax returns that are not included with those of other Dell entities. These net operating loss carryforwards began expiring in the fiscal year ended February 1, 2019. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of these net operating loss carryforwards, the Company has provided valuation allowances for the full amount as of November 1, 2019 and February 1, 2019 . Because the Company is included in the tax filings of other Dell entities, management has determined that it will be able to realize the remainder of its deferred tax assets. If the Company's tax provision had been prepared using the separate return method, the unaudited pro forma pre-tax loss, tax benefit and net loss for the nine months ended November 1, 2019 would have been $38.7 million , $4.2 million and $34.5 million , respectively, as a result of the recognition of a valuation allowance that would have been recorded on certain deferred tax assets as well as certain attributes from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that would be lost if not utilized by the Dell consolidated group. Net deferred tax balances are included in other non-current assets and other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. As of November 1, 2019 and February 1, 2019 , the Company had $17.8 million and $6.9 million , respectively, of a net operating loss tax receivable from Dell. The Company had $7.6 million and $7.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of November 1, 2019 and February 1, 2019 , respectively.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Allocated Expenses For the periods presented, Dell has provided various corporate services to Secureworks in the ordinary course of business. The costs of services provided to Secureworks by Dell are governed by a shared services agreement between Secureworks and Dell Inc. The total amounts of the charges under the shared services agreement with Dell were $3.5 million and $7.6 million for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , respectively, and $0.9 million and $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2018 , respectively. Management believes that the basis on which the expenses have been allocated is a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by the Company during the periods presented. Related Party Arrangements For the periods presented, related party transactions and activities involving Dell Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries were not always consummated on terms equivalent to those that would prevail in an arm's-length transaction where conditions of competitive, free-market dealing may exist. The Company purchases computer equipment for internal use from Dell that is capitalized within property and equipment in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. These purchases were made at pricing that is intended to approximate arm's-length pricing. Purchases of computer equipment from Dell and EMC Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell ("EMC"), totaled $0.2 million and $2.8 million for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , respectively, and $0.8 million and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2018 , respectively. EMC, a company that provides enterprise software and storage, maintains a majority ownership interest in a subsidiary, VMware, Inc. ("VMware"), that provides cloud and virtualization software and services. The Company's purchases of annual maintenance services, software licenses and hardware systems for internal use from Dell, EMC and VMware totaled $0.9 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , respectively, and $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2018 , respectively. During the three months ended November 1, 2019 , VMware acquired Carbon Black Inc., a security business with which the Company had an existing commercial relationship. From the date of its acquisition, purchases of solutions from Carbon Black totaled $0.5 million and, as of November 1, 2019 , the Company had liabilities totaling $0.4 million . The Company recognized revenue related to solutions provided to other subsidiaries of Dell, consisting of RSA Security LLC, Pivotal Software, Inc. and Boomi, Inc. The revenue recognized by the Company for security solutions provided to these entities totaled $11 thousand and $49 thousand for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2018 , respectively. Purchases by the Company from these subsidiaries totaled $30 thousand and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2018 , respectively. The Company recognized revenue related to solutions provided to significant beneficial owners of Secureworks, which include Michael S. Dell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dell Technologies and Dell Inc. and Silver Lake Partners III, L.P. The revenues recognized by the Company from solutions provided to Mr. Dell, MSD Capital, L.P. (a firm founded for the purposes of managing investments of Mr. Dell and his family), DFI Resources LLC, an entity affiliated with Mr. Dell, and the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation, as well as Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., totaled $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2018 , respectively. The Company provides solutions to certain customers whose contractual relationship has historically been with Dell rather than Secureworks, although the Company has the primary responsibility to provide the services. Effective August 1, 2015, upon the creation of new subsidiaries to segregate some of the Company's operations from Dell's operations, as described in " Note 1 —Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation," many of such customer contracts were transferred from Dell to the Company, forming a direct contractual relationship between the Company and the end customer. For customers whose contracts have not yet been transferred and for contracts subsequently originated through Dell under a reseller agreement, the Company recognized revenues of approximately $13.6 million and $43.9 million for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , respectively, and $14.5 million and $43.6 million for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2018 , respectively. In addition, as of November 1, 2019 , the Company had approximately $1.8 million of contingent obligations to Dell related to outstanding performance bonds for certain customer contracts, which Dell issued on behalf of the Company. As the Company's customer and on behalf of certain of its own customers, Dell also purchases solutions from the Company at pricing that is intended to approximate arm's-length pricing. Such revenues totaled approximately $10.6 million and $19.4 million for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , respectively, and $3.8 million and $13.9 million for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2018 , respectively. As a result of the foregoing related party arrangements, the Company has recorded the following related party balances in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of November 1, 2019 and February 1, 2019 . The Company settles in cash its related party balances with Dell on a quarterly basis. November 1, 2019 February 1, 2019 (in thousands) Net intercompany receivable (included in "Other current assets") / (payable) (included in "Accrued and other") $ 2,920 $ (15,634 ) Accounts receivable from customers under reseller agreements with Dell (included in "Accounts receivable, net") $ 17,205 $ 21,760 Net operating loss tax sharing receivable under agreement with Dell (included in "Other current assets" and "Other non-current assets" at November 1, 2019 and in "Other current assets" at February 1, 2019) $ 17,769 $ 6,853

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company measures fair value within the guidance of the three-level valuation hierarchy. This hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The categorization of a measurement within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows: • Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities • Level 2 - Other observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data • Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The assets and liabilities of the Company that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the respective input levels as of November 1, 2019 and February 1, 2019 were as follows: November 1, February 1, 2019 Level 1 Level 1 (in thousands) Cash equivalents - Money Market Funds $ 75,268 $ 90,673 Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis The carrying amounts of the Company's accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their respective fair value due to their short-term nature.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation	Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company's financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. For the periods presented, Dell has provided various corporate services to the Company in the ordinary course of business, including finance, tax, human resources, legal, insurance, IT, procurement and facilities-related services. The costs of these services are charged in accordance with a shared services agreement that went into effect on August 1, 2015. For more information regarding the charges for these services and related party transactions, see " Note 11 —Related Party Transactions." During the periods presented in the financial statements, Secureworks did not file separate federal tax returns, as the Company is generally included in the tax grouping of other Dell entities within the respective entity's tax jurisdiction. The income tax benefit has been calculated using the separate return method, modified to apply the benefits for loss approach. Under the benefits for loss approach, net operating losses or other tax attributes are characterized as realized or as realizable by Secureworks when those attributes are utilized or expected to be utilized by other members of the Dell consolidated group. See " Note 10 —Income and Other Taxes" for more information. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals and disclosures considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended February 1, 2019 included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2019 (the "Annual Report").
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Friday closest to January 31. The Company refers to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2020 and the fiscal year ended February 1, 2019 as fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 , respectively. Both fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 have 52 weeks, and each quarter has 13 weeks.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, estimates are used when accounting for revenue arrangements, determining the cost of revenue, allocating costs and estimating the impact of contingencies. In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, estimates are used in determining the valuation and recoverability of assets, such as accounts receivables, inventories, fixed assets, goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets, and estimates are used in determining the reported amounts of liabilities, such as taxes payable and the impact of contingencies, all of which also impact the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Recently Adopted/Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Leases Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software —In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in such cloud computing arrangements with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The updated guidance is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning in the Company's 2021 fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. Entities may choose to adopt the new guidance prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. Intangibles - Goodwill and Other —In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which required the Company to determine the implied fair value of goodwill by allocating the reporting unit's fair value to each of its assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit was acquired in a business acquisition. Instead, the updated guidance requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, and recognizing a non-cash impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, with the loss not exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The updated guidance is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning in the Company's 2021 fiscal year, with early adoption permitted, and will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Financial Instruments - Credit Losses —In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." The amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The update is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning with the Company's 2021 fiscal year, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Except for the accounting policies for leases, updated as a result of adopting ASC 842, there have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the nine months ended November 1, 2019 , as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report. Leases —The Company determines if any arrangement is, or contains, a lease at inception based on whether or not the Company has the right to control the asset during the contract period and other facts and circumstances. Secureworks is the lessee in a lease contract when the Company obtains the right to control the asset. Operating leases are included in the line items operating lease right-of-use assets, net; accrued and other; and operating lease liabilities, non-current in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company determines the lease term by assuming the exercise of renewal options that are reasonably certain. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, Secureworks uses the Company's incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of future payments. When the Company's contracts contain lease and nonlease components, the Company accounts for both components as a single lease component. Refer to " Note 7 —Leases" for further discussion.
