Security never slows down anyone, instead accelerates innovation

Impact of cyber-attacks on the critical infrastructure of companies

Cyber-attacks have kept companies fearing the loss of their mission-critical data. The onus to secure against vulnerabilities and act upon IT decision-maker insights lies with the organization’s senior leadership. Businesses across all industries are modernizing and transforming how they operate and deliver differentiated products and services. Undoubtedly, the industry has moved to a stage where it is cognizant of the current and emerging security concerns. The key is to identify the potential gaps within an organization and invest in the infrastructure to protect and prevent from any attacks. The way forward is in increasing investments in modern infrastructure solutions and adopting an as-a-Service model to keep up with digital transformation goals. At Dell Technologies, we believe, security never slows you down and instead accelerates innovation, allowing you to think in new, strategic ways. Security is no longer a set of projects but a continuous life cycle that requires constant review and analysis.

Managing critical events and emergency incidents

Critical event management software can help reduce the chaos of disaster response without overloading disaster recovery teams with data or complicating communications. This software is rapidly emerging as an essential disaster response and recovery tool. Our VxRail solution helps businesses with security incident and event management. It includes vRealize Log Insight to centralize log management for the system. For organizations with an existing centralized log management facility, such as Splunk or a Security Incident and Event Management System (SIEM), VxRail can easily integrate using the industry-standard Syslog interface. SecureWorks provides log management services for VxRail and virtually any critical information asset or security technology, for customers who don’t want to manage security events themselves. SecureWorks collects and monitors the security information you need to keep your business secure. More importantly, SecureWorks’ deeply skilled security experts working from their integrated Counter Threat Operation Centers investigate and respond immediately to any malicious activity 24/7.
