Organizations face an increasingly complex cyber threat landscape, making it crucial to protect sensitive data and ensure operational continuity. As cybercriminals become more advanced and targeted, companies require robust strategies for detection, defense, and recovery. Dell Technologies offers integrated cybersecurity solutions that empower businesses to maintain uninterrupted operations through proactive threat management and resilience.
Comprehensive Security Infrastructure and Threat Response
Monitoring intricate IT environments while defending against sophisticated threats poses a significant challenge for organizations. The Dell Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service simplifies this task by providing continuous monitoring, rapid threat response, and effective incident recovery. This service extends surveillance over endpoints, data centers, the edge, and cloud environments in real time, utilizing advanced AI-driven threat detection and extensive threat intelligence from expert security analysts. By alleviating the burden on internal IT teams, Dell MDR enhances the overall management of Security Operations.
To counteract threats targeting backup systems, Dell partnered with CrowdStrike to create specialized threat indicators integrated within the Falcon Next Generation SIEM, specifically designed for PowerProtect Data Domain and PowerProtect Data Manager. This means users benefit from a proactive threat response framework that emphasizes speed and efficiency.
Proactive Threat Detection and Analysis
The Anomaly Detection feature within PowerProtect Data Manager functions as an early warning system, leveraging machine learning to scrutinize backup environments for suspicious activities before they escalate into significant breaches. Multiple detection techniques are employed, including:
- Identifying over 5,000 ransomware patterns
- Conducting behavioral analysis to highlight unusual file metadata changes
- Monitoring unique system configurations for security vulnerabilities
This approach operates efficiently within existing infrastructure, incurring no additional costs and minimal performance impact. When combined with immutable backups from PowerProtect Data Domain, Anomaly Detection forms a strong defensive layer safeguarding data integrity while facilitating prompt responses to emerging threats.
AI-Powered Data Recovery Solutions
Understanding that attackers frequently target backup systems to obstruct recovery efforts, the PowerProtect Cyber Recovery solution creates a secure vault environment—whether on-premises or cloud-based—isolating vital data from potential threats. Integrated with CyberSense®, this solution uses AI analytics to ensure data integrity by analyzing over 200 forensic metrics related to files, virtual machines, databases, and system configurations. CyberSense boasts a 99.99% accuracy rate in detecting data integrity issues, trained on extensive datasets of ransomware variants.
Beyond detection, CyberSense provides forensic insights that reveal the cause, entry points, and timeline of breaches. Such detailed visibility accelerates recovery and strengthens defenses, ensuring critical assets are well-protected.
Expert Assistance in Crisis Situations
Even with robust security measures in place, breaches can occur. In such instances, Dell’s Incident Response and Recovery (IRR) team is prepared to minimize downtime and assist in rapid recovery. This globally distributed team of certified experts specializes in on-site forensics, threat eradication, and operational restoration, tailoring their approach to meet the specific needs of each organization.
IRR can mobilize quickly, deploying resources within hours to address various challenges, from restoring mission-critical services to conducting forensic examinations. Dell’s ability to offer support in multiple regions and languages ensures a customized response suited to businesses of all sizes and sectors, facilitating swift recovery and reinforcing future readiness.
A Holistic Approach to Cyber Resilience
Dell’s suite of cyber resilience solutions empowers organizations to respond promptly to threats, mitigate vulnerabilities, and recover effectively. By integrating real-time monitoring from MDR, insightful anomaly detection via PowerProtect Data Manager, reliable recovery capabilities through Cyber Recovery and CyberSense, alongside dedicated expertise from the IRR team, Dell provides a comprehensive, end-to-end strategy for cyber resilience.
From the initial detection of threats to the restoration of operations, Dell Technologies stands as a dependable partner in safeguarding against cyber threats, prompting businesses to assess their readiness to combat potential risks.
