blueprint for customers to test their environments on a U.S.
Department of Defense-approved architecture before broad
deployment
- New Dell cybersecurity services, endpoint and cyber protection
solutions help customers build cyber resilience

Full story
Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) will open a
Zero Trust Center of Excellence in collaboration with CyberPoint
International and the Maryland Innovation Security Institute (MISI)
in Spring 2023 at DreamPort, the U.S. Cyber Command's premier
cybersecurity innovation facility. Dell also unveils new
cybersecurity services that allow organizations to assess their
Zero Trust and cyber resilience maturity, endpoint security
solutions to support hybrid work, and ransomware protection for
object storage data.
Zero Trust is a cybersecurity model that shifts how
organizations approach security from relying solely on perimeter
defenses to a proactive strategy that only allows known good
activity across ecosystems and data pipelines. It allows
organizations to better align their cybersecurity strategy across
the data center, clouds and at the edge. Dell aims to serve as a
catalyst for customers to achieve Zero Trust outcomes by making the
design and integration of this architecture easier.
"In a multicloud world, an organization's cybersecurity strategy
must transcend its infrastructure and extend to its applications
and data," said John Roese, global
chief technology officer, Dell Technologies. "We believe a Zero
Trust strategy is the best path forward. Dell has the proven IT and
security foundation, technology integration experience, and
extensive global partner ecosystem to help simplify customers'
cybersecurity transformations."
Center of Excellence to speed Zero Trust adoption
Together with MISI, CyberPoint International and a team of
industry small, women-owned and veteran-owned businesses, Dell will
power the Zero Trust Center of Excellence at DreamPort to provide
organizations with a secure data center to validate Zero Trust use
cases. The Center of Excellence will use the Department of Defense
Zero Trust Reference Architecture as its foundation for
organizations to test configurations before deployment in their own
environments. By orchestrating across an extensive ecosystem, Dell
will deliver a repeatable blueprint of the architecture, providing
a quicker path to adoption, and easing the integration and
orchestration burden for customers.
"We believe our critical collaboration with Dell Technologies at
the DreamPort Center of Excellence will drive rapid innovation and
integration of Zero Trust solutions to help the U.S. government and
commercial enterprises defend increasingly complex and ongoing
cyber threats," said Horace Jones,
president, CyberPoint International.
Cybersecurity services to align with Zero Trust and reduce
risk
To help organizations align to Zero Trust principles and
achieve cyber resiliency, Dell Cybersecurity Advisory
Services provide organizations a roadmap to Zero Trust that
builds on their existing cybersecurity assets. These services find
and address security gaps, determine advanced technologies
customers should implement, and help them learn how to enable
continuous vigilance and governance for long-term cyber resiliency.
By working with Dell, organizations have the tools and actionable
insights they need to better secure their data and IT
environments.
To minimize attack surfaces and better protect organizations,
Dell offers a new Vulnerability Management service with Dell
experts who regularly scan customer environments for
vulnerabilities, provide a full picture of exposures and help
prioritize patching efforts.
Commercial PC cybersecurity offerings support hybrid
work
With breaches happening above and below the operating system,
secure devices are foundational to a Zero Trust-ready organization.
Dell continues to enhance its portfolio with new offerings that
help customers prevent, detect and respond to threats wherever they
occur, and allow greater control of the IT environment:
- Hardware protections for the industry's most secure
commercial PCs:1 To address growing supply chain
threats, customers can now opt for Dell to disable PC ports prior
to shipment, which helps prevent BIOS settings tampering. Dell is
also expanding availability of tamper-evident seals to Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle
East and Africa to offer
more physical security measures during shipment.
- Firmware protections to detect growing threats:
Organizations can detect potential tampering of a PC's BIOS with
the new integration of telemetry between Microsoft Intune, as part
of Microsoft Endpoint Manager, and Splunk consoles. Within the
Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, IT administrators can
secure, control and configure Dell PCs, including BIOS
configuration and password management. These capabilities, which
Dell is first to market with, will be available in a future release
of Intune, helping ensure user productivity while reducing IT
complexity.
- Advanced software protections: New capabilities from
Dell speed threat detection and remediation. Additionally, a new
data loss prevention offering helps protect sensitive data from
unauthorized downloads onto external USB storage devices, providing
greater visibility and policy control on this behavior.
Enhanced cyber protection and recovery for object
storage
To address the growth of object storage data, such as videos and
photographs, it is critical to take advantage of the latest cyber
protection solutions to isolate data, intelligently detect threats
and enable fast data recovery.
The Dell ECS Enterprise Object Storage platform expands
cyber protection capabilities to help secure object data to an
isolated cyber vault residing locally or in a remote environment.
Accessible through the AWS S3 protocol, critical applications and
backup servers can continue to access the isolated copy while
supporting legal compliance in the event of a cyberattack
compromising the primary and secondary data copy. Together with
AI-powered threat detection and immutability, the new solution
provides organizations a rapid path to data recovery from
ransomware and other malicious attacks.
