Dell Technologies has expanded its cybersecurity and data-protection portfolio with new services designed to help organisations protect artificial intelligence (AI) environments, identity systems and critical IT infrastructure from emerging cyber threats.
Announced on October 27, the latest developments include new AI security services, enhanced PowerProtect capabilities, identity recovery solutions, managed threat detection and preparations for future quantum-computing risks.
Strengthening Security for AI Environments
As businesses increasingly adopt artificial intelligence, protecting sensitive data and AI applications has become a major priority. Dell's new Security Hardening for Dell AI Factory service is designed to identify security weaknesses across physical, virtual and application layers.
The company has also introduced Resilience Operations for AI, which helps organisations identify their most important AI applications and develop recovery plans to maintain operations during cyber incidents.
Improved Protection for Identity Systems
Dell is expanding its identity-resilience capabilities to help organisations recover compromised identity platforms, including Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID and Okta.
These systems manage access to important applications and business information. Their recovery capabilities are intended to help organisations restore trusted access after a security incident.
Dell is also offering Managed Detection and Response for Identity, which provides round-the-clock monitoring for suspicious authentication activity, compromised accounts and misuse of access privileges.
Preparing for Future Cybersecurity Threats
The company is also strengthening its infrastructure protection with new quantum-safe encryption capabilities and a Post-Quantum Readiness Assessment.
These developments address a potential future risk in which powerful quantum computers could weaken some of today's encryption methods. Dell's assessment service is designed to help businesses identify cryptographic vulnerabilities and plan security upgrades.
Growing Importance of Cyber Resilience
The announcement reflects the growing need for businesses to protect not only their data but also the systems that keep their operations running.
As AI adoption increases and cyber threats become more sophisticated, companies are expected to invest more in security, monitoring and disaster recovery solutions.
Dell's latest initiatives aim to help organisations strengthen their digital infrastructure and prepare for emerging cybersecurity challenges.
