Cybersecurity threats are evolving at an unprecedented pace, becoming more frequent and increasingly complex. Today, businesses face an escalating battle against sophisticated cyberattacks such as ransomware and data breaches that can disrupt operations, tarnish reputations, and impose extraordinary costs.
Most industries, from healthcare and finance to manufacturing and retail, are vulnerable to these threats. Notably, file data—containing sensitive information such as personally identifiable information (PII), trade secrets, and intellectual property—holds immense value. While secure backups are an essential component of data protection, they alone cannot prevent attacks targeting file data. Organizations need security solutions that go beyond recovery; they need solutions that monitor, detect, and respond to threats in real time.
That’s where Dell Technologies comes in.
Meet the PowerScale Cybersecurity Suite
Designed for use with Dell’s PowerScale storage systems, the PowerScale Cybersecurity Suite offers a robust, unified approach to protecting unstructured data. The software provides businesses with both cybersecurity and disaster recovery capabilities, delivering comprehensive safeguards for critical assets.
The suite comprises three powerful bundles, each tailored to meet specific security and operational challenges.
Cybersecurity Bundle
At the heart of the suite is the Cybersecurity bundle, which leverages advanced AI and analytics to detect and prevent threats in real time.
• How It Works
The technology continuously monitors user and file access behavior to proactively identify unusual activity, such as unexpected mass deletions or file encryptions. If suspicious activity is detected, AI-driven defenses automatically lock affected user accounts and suspend questionable data activities, stopping ransomware attacks as they occur. Real-time responses provide a significant layer of protection for enterprise data.
• Integration with Third-Party Platforms
One of the key strengths of the Cybersecurity bundle is its seamless integration with third-party security solutions, including SIEM, SOAR, and endpoint protection platforms. The software facilitates automated actions, such as halting replication or isolating suspicious files, providing swift resolution across the security ecosystem. This collaborative approach enhances visibility and coordination, giving organizations better control over their cybersecurity posture.
Airgap Vault
The second bundle, the Airgap Vault, offers an operational air-gapped cyber vault to provide an additional layer of data protection.
• How It Works
The Airgap Vault creates a clean, isolated copy of data in an environment separated from the production network. This vault is accessible only after the Cybersecurity bundle verifies that there are no active threats in the system. By logically isolating backups, the system mitigates risks of ransomware and insider threats, providing safe recovery points even in the event of a breach.
• Close Collaboration with Cybersecurity Solutions
The solution does not operate in isolation. Rather, the software works in tandem with the Cybersecurity bundle so that only clean, verified data is replicated to the vault. This end-to-end protection gives organizations confidence in their ability to recover when faced with mounting cyber risks.
Disaster Recovery Bundle
The final piece is the Disaster Recovery bundle, which automates and simplifies recovery from system outages and cyberattacks.
• How It Works
The Disaster Recovery bundle enables businesses to rapidly restore operations by syncing not just data but also critical configuration details, such as quotas and snapshots, across PowerScale systems. Automated failover and failback capabilities to preconfigured clusters minimize downtime and simplify the recovery process, allowing businesses to stay resilient even in the face of an attack. With centralized dashboards and over 30 readiness checks, this bundle provides complete visibility into failover operations, empowering IT teams to act with speed and confidence.
• Seamless Integration for Business Continuity
The Disaster Recovery bundle integrates seamlessly with the Cybersecurity and Airgap Vault bundles, creating a unified solution for end-to-end data protection. This integration provides a recovery process that is not only fast but also secure, enabling businesses to maintain operational continuity even during the most challenging scenarios.
Protection and security across industries and workloads
The PowerScale Cybersecurity Suite is more than just a security tool—it is a comprehensive solution designed for today’s complex data environments.
• Safeguarding Diverse Industries and Data Types
From PII and intellectual property to trade secrets, the suite’s capabilities safeguard data across diverse workloads and industries, including healthcare, education, and financial services.
• Securing GenAI Workloads
For businesses leveraging cutting-edge solutions like GenAI applications, data security is paramount. The PowerScale Cybersecurity Suite mitigates risks such as data poisoning and model inversion, providing a multilayered defense designed to keep your critical data safe from corruption and attacks. Whether you are deploying AI tools to analyze customer behavior or creating next-generation machine learning models, this solution helps safeguard your data against evolving threats.
Empower your business with Dell Technologies
The PowerScale Cybersecurity Suite equips your organization with the tools to combat even the most sophisticated cyber threats. By offering robust safeguards against both data encryption and exfiltration, this unified solution helps your business protect data, detect threats, and respond to incidents in real time while maintaining the continuity of operations.
