From small businesses to large enterprises, no one is immune to a cyberattack. With workforces becoming more global and mobile, more connected devices are added to a company’s IT network. The threat landscape is likewise continually evolving, with bad actors finding new ways to develop more sophisticated threats that can evade detection such as viruses, intrusions, botnets, spyware, worms, Trojans, adware, keyloggers, malicious mobile code (MMC) and ransomware.
With 95 percent of breaches originating at the endpoint, security teams are faced with a growing challenge: how do they enable a workforce that can work where, when and how they want without worry? There’s a need for a new paradigm that looks at data holistically, empowering users with the information and ideas that they need to fuel growth and build value while protecting that data, whether it’s at rest or in motion via email, cloud or file share over mobile, USB drive or remote server.
With these challenges continuing to impact our customers, Dell is more committed than ever to playing a significant role in creating that new paradigm for the industry. Although we’ve made a recent change in our security portfolio with the divestiture of our software business, Dell Data Security Solutions continues to be a core pillar of how Dell helps our customers become future-ready.
Over the past year, we’ve invested heavily in developing superior security solutions which protect critical business data wherever they travel, while also securing individual endpoints from today’s sophisticated threat landscape. From encryption and endpoint threat prevention to user authentication and compliance reporting, we are committed to delivering best of breed security solutions to unlock the speed, agility and innovation of today’s mobile workforce. With our new Endpoint Data Security and Management portfolio, announced last month at Dell World and available today, organizations can securely manage their data and endpoints without choking end user productivity.
