Dell AIOps: Smarter Cybersecurity for Your Infrastructure

Cyber threats move fast. Dell AIOps moves faster with smarter security, deeper insights, and total control to stay secure.

In today’s world, cyber threats are not just fast—they’re relentless. To keep pace, defenses must be even faster and smarter. That’s where Dell AIOps steps in. By weaving together data-driven approaches with machine-learning insights for ransomware, automation, and deep platform visibility, Dell AIOps empowers Dell infrastructure users to take charge of security, prevent threats before they become issues, and stay confidently compliant every step of the way.

Smarter threat detection through end-to-end visibility

Imagine having the ability to see what’s happening across every corner of your IT environment, in near real time. Dell AIOps collects telemetry from Dell servers and storage, bringing everything into sharp focus and applies AI to continuously mine for insights and recommendations. Thanks to intelligent correlation—connecting the dots between performance anomalies or even unusual access patterns—Dell AIOps helps you spot risks that might slip by other tools.

Let’s say a disclosed security vulnerability is detected in your PowerEdge, while at the same time, someone attempts to change the BIOS configuration without authorization. While each event is independent, Dell AIOps centralizes the data from across the system, connects the dots, identifies the potential threat and quickly guides your response. It’s this kind of smart, contextual analysis that enables your team to act decisively before an attacker can gain a foothold.

Proactive threat detection

Waiting for threats to surface is no longer an option. Dell AIOps transforms continuous insights into prescriptive, preventive action. With predictive risk scoring, you get a prioritized view of vulnerabilities, patch statuses and active exploits, allowing you to know exactly where to focus and which issues demand immediate attention.

A standout benefit is the Ransomware Incident capability, now generally available for PowerMax systems, with beta access coming soon for PowereStore sytems. This enhanced feature leverages advanced detection methods—refined through extensive user feedback—to identify potential ransomware behavior early and with precision. The result is faster response times, greater confidence and a dramatic reduction in risk across your most critical storage assets.

Dell AIOps delivers real strength to IT teams through intelligent automation. By harnessing data-driven analytics with machine-learning insights, the platform continuously monitors device and OS settings, detects misconfigurations and proactively flags potential misalignments before they escalate. Customizable user notifications inform administrators about risks and recommend corrective actions—eliminating the need for constant manual oversight.

While Dell AIOps integrates seamlessly with existing IT workflows and can suggest actions like isolating threats or initiating remediation, final decisions remain with administrators or automation tools. This balanced approach empowers teams to resolve issues faster, streamline operations and maintain a secure, compliant infrastructure.

Simplified compliance and audit readiness

Navigating compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA or NIST can be a daunting task, but Dell AIOps helps bring clarity and efficiency to the process. It delivers near-real-time insight into your compliance status by continuously checking your environment against security baselines and best practices, providing a live, up-to-date picture of your compliance posture rather than just a snapshot every now and then.

Audits become less stressful, too. Dell AIOps automatically documents patches, changes, user access and incident responses with time-stamped, easily retrievable reports. Instead of digging for data, Dell AIOps allows most audit-related data to be gathered in hours instead of weeks. And with full visibility into privileged account actions, it’s much easier to enforce separation of duties and spot concerning behavior before it escalates.

If you have a PCI audit coming up, Dell AIOps has your back. It centralizes reports showing encryption status, key rotations and access changes, all mapped directly to control requirements, giving you peace of mind when it comes to compliance.

Faster incident response and recovery

When a security incident unfolds, every second matters. Dell AIOps accelerates your response with step-by-step guidance, drawing on historical outcomes to recommend containment steps tailored to the situation. If you need to understand how a compromised system affects business-critical applications or downstream services, dependency mapping makes connections visible allowing you to focus your remediation where it counts.

Dell AIOps is always learning, too. Each resolution feeds its models and playbooks, continually strengthening your security posture.

Designed for Dell infrastructure, optimized for multicloud

Dell AIOps is designed from the ground up for Dell environments, ensuring tight integration with platforms like Actionable insights and AI automation become second nature, giving your team the information and tools they need without delay.

As organizations increasingly embrace hybrid and multicloud strategies, Dell AIOps delivers unified policies and visibility everywhere your infrastructure lives—from core data centers to the cloud and edge locations. And as your environment evolves, adaptive AI models ensure that insights stay sharp and workflows remain efficient, never overloading your teams.

The bottom line

Effective cybersecurity should be continuous, connected and automated—and empower you to advance without hesitation. Dell AIOps lets you detect threats sooner, resolve security events faster and simplify compliance, freeing your teams to focus on moving your business forward.
