Dell Security Solutions

Cybersecurity maturity is the confidence an organization has in its ability to reduce risk, detect threats quickly, respond effectively, and recover cleanly when incidents occur. It isn’t a single score or compliance checkbox. It reflects how well your people, processes, infrastructure, and partners work together to protect operations and maintain business continuity under pressure.

Dell helps improve cybersecurity maturity by aligning security capabilities across prevention, detection, response, and recovery. This includes secure-by-design infrastructure, zero trust-aligned controls, managed detection and response, immutable backups, cyber recovery vaults, and incident response services. Dell works with organizations to assess their current posture, identify gaps, strengthen controls, and build a more resilient operating model over time.

Dell organizes cybersecurity and resilience around three practice areas:

• Reduce the Attack Surface: Minimize vulnerabilities and entry points across devices, identities, applications, data, and infrastructure.
• Detect And Respond to Cyber Threats: Improve visibility, threat detection, investigation, and response across hybrid environments.
• Recover From a Cyberattack: Restore clean data and critical operations quickly using resilient backup, vaulting, cleanroom validation, and expert recovery services.

Dell helps reduce the attack surface by embedding security into infrastructure, endpoints, data protection, and services from the start. This includes hardware-rooted trust, secure boot, signed firmware, BIOS protections, identity safeguards, secure configuration, MFA, role-based access control, and zero trust-aligned design. Dell also offers cybersecurity assessments, penetration testing, breach attack simulation, and advisory services to help identify and prioritize high-risk exposures.

Dell helps organizations detect and respond to threats through managed security services, telemetry from infrastructure and endpoints, partner integrations, advanced analytics, and incident response expertise. Dell Managed Detection and Response provides 24x7 monitoring, investigation, threat hunting, and response support. These capabilities help reduce dwell time, accelerate containment, and relieve pressure on internal security teams.

Dell helps organizations recover from cyberattacks with cyber recovery vaults, immutable backups, cleanroom validation, incident response services, recovery runbooks, and expert guidance. Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery isolates critical data from the main attack surface, while CyberSense helps identify clean recovery points. Together, these capabilities help organizations restore operations with greater confidence and reduce the risk of reinfection.

Supply chain security matters because attackers increasingly target hardware, firmware, software, logistics, and third-party dependencies. If a system is compromised before it enters your environment, traditional security controls may not detect the problem quickly. Strong supply chain assurance helps establish trust before deployment and strengthens the foundation for zero trust, compliance, and operational resilience.

Securing AI means protecting the infrastructure, data, models, users, and workflows that support AI applications. This includes validating model integrity, securing data pipelines, enforcing access controls, protecting sensitive data, and applying zero trust principles to AI environments. As organizations adopt generative AI and agentic AI, securing AI becomes essential to protect intellectual property, sensitive information, and business-critical outcomes.

Dell helps secure AI environments by building AI workloads on trusted infrastructure with hardware-rooted security, access controls, secure data pipelines, and model integrity considerations. Dell supports secure AI design across endpoints, servers, storage, data protection, edge, cloud, and services. The goal is to help organizations innovate with confidence while reducing risk from data leakage, unauthorized access, compromised models, and unmanaged AI usage.

AI for security uses artificial intelligence to improve threat detection, investigation, response, and security operations. AI can help analyze large volumes of telemetry, identify abnormal behavior, prioritize alerts, and support faster decision-making. Dell applies this concept through security services, analytics, infrastructure telemetry, partner integrations, and cyber recovery capabilities that help teams detect and respond to threats more efficiently.

Dell uses AI and analytics to help improve visibility, detection, and recovery across security operations and cyber resilience workflows. Examples include anomaly detection in PowerProtect Data Manager, CyberSense analytics for corruption detection, MDR threat analysis, and Dell AIOps cybersecurity assessments that identify misconfigurations and risk. These capabilities help teams find suspicious activity faster and make more informed recovery decisions.

AI against security refers to attackers using AI to accelerate or improve cyberattacks. This can include more convincing phishing, automated reconnaissance, faster vulnerability discovery, malware development, deepfakes, and attacks against data pipelines or AI models. Dell helps organizations prepare by strengthening foundational security, reducing the attack surface, improving 24x7 detection and response, and building resilient recovery capabilities.

Post-quantum cryptography, or PQC, refers to cryptographic methods designed to resist attacks from future quantum computers. Many current encryption methods rely on mathematical problems that large-scale quantum computers may eventually solve more efficiently. PQC helps prepare organizations to protect data, identities, communications, and digital signatures as quantum capabilities evolve.

PQC matters because sensitive data stolen today could potentially be decrypted later when quantum computing becomes more advanced. This is often called a “harvest now, decrypt later” risk. Organizations that manage long-lived sensitive data, regulated information, intellectual property, or critical infrastructure should begin assessing cryptographic exposure and planning for crypto-agility.

Dell is proactively addressing emerging quantum-related security challenges through hardware-rooted trust, crypto-agility, and roadmap alignment with NIST-approved post-quantum cryptographic standards. Dell is focused on helping customers prepare environments that can adapt as cryptographic requirements change. This includes securing infrastructure from silicon to cloud to AI while supporting long-term protection for data, identities, and digital trust.
