The boundaries of IT are no longer constrained to a physical data center making cybersecurity and cyber resilience a constant challenge. Perimeters are distributed, virtual, spread across multiple clouds and transporting massive amounts of data. The sheer amount of data alone presents a growing challenge. Organizations are now managing 10x the data they were just five years ago, almost 15 petabytes on average now.¹

Our “always on,” “driven by data” operating models, if not properly secured, create an abundance of new attack surfaces and vulnerabilities to the business.

Dell’s 2021 Global Data Protection Index found that:

• • 60% of organizations have experienced data loss due to an exploited vulnerability
  • 65% of IT decision makers are not confident their data/systems can be fully recovered¹

To meet these challenges, a mature and resilient security posture for data, applications and devices is required. This modern approach leverages innovative technologies, aligns around the business rather than the threat, is proactive in recovery planning and defends the organization. In short, to be fully prepared, organizations need to “Embrace the Breach,” as Gartner would state in their July 2021 Mavericks Report “You Will Be Hacked, So Embrace the Breach”.

Dell believes that today’s security and resilience challenges require going beyond the outdated notion that every potential threat can be stopped. Being cyber resilient means assuming that despite your best efforts, attacks will still penetrate the environment. Shifting to such a mindset means balancing detection, protection, response and ultimately recovery in order to continue operations with minimal downtime, data loss, and business disruption. This is what being resilient means.

Innovate Securely with Comprehensive Cyber Resilience

Addressing the continuous threat landscape, Dell’s modern approach to security and resilience is based on the following three pillars:

• • Protect data and systems – Modernize organization’s security approach to storage utilizing innovative software and intrinsic features in hardware and data protection
  • Enhance cyber resiliency – Build out organizations understanding of their current level of resilience and prepare for business continuity and availability
  • Overcome security complexity – Automate and orchestrate organizations security operations to enable scale, insights and extend resources through service partnerships
