Over the course of a few days in April, worrying events served as a reminder that implementing basic security practices, such as: B. Dell Data Protection, has become increasingly important.
Data breaches at Home Depot, the US Environmental Protection Agency and Indian audio company boAt made headlines as reports of the potential impact on employees and users were filtered out. And telecommunications giant AT&T Inc. recently confirmed that personal information for 73 million of its past and current customers was published on the dark web.
Incidents like these highlight the need for cyber resilience at a time when major cybersecurity providers are trying to address “analytics paralysis” for customers who are uncertain about how to protect critical systems and data across the enterprise.
To bring greater focus to data privacy and the latest developments in the fight to protect critical information, theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio, and Dell Technologies Inc. will host a special broadcast titled “Building Cyber Resilience on Trusted Data Protection “Infrastructure” on April 30 at 8:00 a.m. PT. Join theCUBE for special coverage of Dell Technologies’ launch event, showcasing the expansion of the Dell Data Protection portfolio and new capabilities that enable organizations to create a modern, simple and resilient foundation for data protection on-premises, in public clouds and at the edge.

“In today’s digital landscape, the need for cyber resilience cannot be overstated,” said Dave Vellante, principal analyst at theCUBE Research. “Privacy has evolved from an afterthought to a fundamental part of cybersecurity strategies.”
Dell Data Protection addresses cross-platform security
The evolution of hybrid computing architectures, where data is often distributed across on-premises, cloud and edge environments, is increasing the level of risk for many organizations as IT staff grapple with increasing operational complexity. Dell’s own research has shown that the increased administrative burden of operating cross-platform networks is one of the top five cybersecurity concerns.
To address these challenges, Dell has launched a range of services and products designed to improve control over cyber recovery and provide greater visibility into vault operations. These included new software versions for PowerProtect Data Manager, Appliance, Cyber Recovery and the DD operating system.
Dell is focused on supporting businesses that want simplified data protection and increased IT self-service capabilities. The company has seen a realization among IT managers that data protection in the cloud is just as important as other elements of hybrid infrastructure.
“Customers need to think about how they protect their data,” said Elizabeth Green, EMEA consulting and cyber lead at Dell, in a recent interview on theCUBE. “Just because it’s in the cloud doesn’t mean the cloud will protect it, and there are clear guidelines on that. I think a lot of our customers think, ‘Someone else is managing it, so they have to protect it.'”
Simplified data protection in an age of complexity
Dell executives have described the company’s approach to data protection as modern, simple and resilient. It’s the easy part that may be the most challenging in today’s age of complex systems.
Improvements to Dell’s PowerProtect DM5500 eliminate the need to run software on a virtual machine and deploy a backup appliance. Now the backup appliance, software and server are all together, simplifying what was once a cumbersome process.
Dell takes the same approach with APEX Backup Services, which do not require an edge or on-premise framework. APEX offers data protection as a service and scales on demand in a pay-as-you-go model. TheCUBE’s special coverage of Dell’s April 30 launch event sheds new light on how companies are embracing data protection in today’s modern enterprise.
“Modernizing privacy policies, practices and tools is not just an option; It’s an imperative,” Vellante said. “Using advanced security measures helps protect critical data and strengthens digital defenses against an increasingly powerful adversary. A commitment to continuous improvement is the cornerstone of modern cyber resilience.”
