[DigitalToday reporter Chi-gyu Hwang] Dell Technologies has expanded PowerProtect, its cyber resilience product line, to ID systems, AI environments and quantum-resistant storage.

SiliconANGLE reported on Oct. 27 that Dell first introduced PowerProtect software that restores an attacked ID platform to a trusted state.

PowerProtect software supports Microsoft Active Directory, Entra ID and Okta. It also supports restoring access permission settings so administrators do not need to recreate them after an incident, the company said.

The "Dell ID Threat Detection and Response (MDR)" service monitors suspicious authentication attempts, compromised accounts and privilege abuse around the clock. If it detects predefined attack types, Dell analysts run automated responses to help block threats.

Dell also introduced 2 security services for AI environments. The "Dell AI Factory Security Hardening" service has Dell experts inspect a customer's AI factory by physical, virtual and application layers to help identify configuration risks. Customers can receive prioritized recommendations to reduce risks.

The "AI Resilience Operations" service identifies core AI capabilities essential to operations and provides customers with a plan to restore them after outages through application recovery policies and procedures.

Dell also improved an AI assistant provided through PowerProtect Data Manager. Administrators can use a chat window to handle recovery and report writing. The assistant provides a daily summary of potential risks. Any task the assistant proposes must first receive human approval.

For storage, Dell enabled PowerProtect to automatically manage local snapshots that prevent deletion on PowerScale systems, a NAS product. This allows customers to recover quickly using the latest copy.

Dell applied quantum-resistant encryption to data moving over Fibre Channel in the latest software for PowerStore, an all-flash storage product. It also introduced a Post-Quantum Readiness Assessment service that finds weak encryption within an organization and ranks them by risk.

Simon Jelley (사이먼 젤리), vice president of Dell's cyber resilience division, said, "Many organizations are still protecting AI environments and ID systems with tools and strategies designed for past threats, but the speed of attacks has become faster than even a few months ago."
