Dell Technologies provides end-to-end cybersecurity solutions to protect businesses from threats across the edge, core and cloud with industry leading data protection appliances and software defined solutions. The Dell EMC PowerProtect portfolio offers a wide variety of simple, efficient, and agile data protection options, so that CISOs can choose the approach that best fits their IT strategy.

This includes cloud-enabled data protection and backup solutions, VMware workloads protection and cyber recovery that protects and isolates critical data from ransomware and other sophisticated threats. Additionally, with the increase of the remote workforce the risk of breaches is on the rise, and this is where Dell’s solutions for keeping the endpoints secure come in with the Dell SafeGuard, Dell SafeData, VMware Workspace ONE and VMware Carbon Black, to enable access to devices securely from anywhere.

Security should be intelligent, automated, and built into everything, everywhere.

Also, through SecureWorks, Dell Technologies partners with customers to detect security threats faster, respond smarter and predict or even prevent threats altogether.

Business-as-usual-security cannot keep pace with the threats that organisations face today post pandemic. Security should be intelligent, automated, and built into everything, everywhere. A holistic approach is required that can adapt to unexpected changes, factors in users, IDs, devices, assets, and data.

Especially now with increasing remote workforces, security professionals must exercise vigilance in protecting the networks and devices for the enterprise and employees. All of this can seem overwhelming, and therefore with the updates made to the PowerProtect portfolio, Dell has simultaneously simplified and expanded its capabilities to protect both existing and emerging security requirements, enabling organisations to safely leverage ecosystems, maintain operational resilience, and build confidence.

Advances in big data analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning could have a likely impact on products and solutions. There is an increased interest in user behavior analytics, UBA, by cybersecurity professionals to identify unusual behavior by users, which can add an additional layer of protection.

Advancements in embedded hardware authentication, to validate user’s identities and protect endpoints, will continue to transform how security is used. Also, with 5G deployments on the rise, the need for increased security standards and protocols between 5G and IoT devices will be essential, leaving the room for more innovation and R&D as this emerges to counter potential risks.

Channel partners are very important members of the Dell Technologies family, and as such, Dell has created a Partner Stimulus Package to support them during these unprecedented times. Dell knows that customers need technology right now, but many organisations need more flexible repayment terms, and partners may need help managing cash flow or end-user credit risk.

Channel partners need to be relentless in creating customer value by providing the best solutions to meet changing customer needs.

The support measures within partner program reduce a considerable amount of financial pressure on partners, enabling them to continue managing customers’ needs during this period of uncertainty. The Covid-19 support programme for channel partners has enabled the channel to operate smoothly within the changing environment while continuing to bring the technology portfolio to the market and service customers.

Channel partners need to be relentless in creating customer value by providing the best solutions to meet changing customer needs. This also requires them to be flexible through their services and solutions by differentiating their offerings with a focus on how they can help solve a customer’s business challenges. Committing to always enhancing their skillsets through trainings is also important, in order to meet the demands of today’s markets.

As digital transformation increases, the cyber threat landscape has also continued to evolve at an unprecedented pace. Hence, growing their expertise and being equipped with enhanced cybersecurity offerings to address the increased concerns among customers is essential.
