Dell Technologies has announced new security offerings across its supply chain, services and infrastructure.
Rob Tomlin, Vice President & General Manager, UK Channel & Distribution, Dell Technologies comment that risks were at an all time high with the hunt on to cause harm through activities including information theft and destructive malware or ransomware.
He said many businesses are still fighting this battle with limited security resources.
“With workers now dispersed and the number of network and device touchpoints on the rise, tangible data and insights into potential vulnerabilities and user behaviour can help business leaders to make more accurate decisions when it comes to security – helping to dramatically lower the risk”, he said.
Dell’s partners have the opportunity to bring great value to customers, bBy moving into an advisory role – supporting customers with everything from mobility, connectivity, and flexibility, he said.
“Partners have a unique insight into businesses IT infrastructure and where the weak links could be hiding. Yet, with security intrinsic to all aspects of technology, our channel partners cannot do it alone and access to resilient, intelligent, and automated security solutions is paramount. By building security into our services, infrastructure, and devices, we’re helping partners lower risk and become more cyber resilient. This combined with the knowledge of leading security experts will protect customers from what is round the corner.”
Under the new programme the Dell EMC PowerEdge server portfolio now comes with Secured Component Verification, an embedded certificate that lets companies verify their servers arrive as they were ordered and built – without hardware compromise.
According to the company, it is the first server provider with a portfolio-wide solution for cryptographically verified hardware integrity.
Dell will spread its data security-focused services to the entire Dell Technologies infrastructure portfolio.
The company plans to customise boot security for servers so that IT staff change it to reduce the threat surface and thwart boot-related attacks.
PowerEdge servers’ integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) will offer automated server management both at the server and remotely. With iDRAC, customers can enable or disable a system lockdown without having to reboot.
