The company Dell Technologies expands its cybersecurity and resilience portfolio in the artificial intelligence environments, identity systems and infrastructures that attackers increasingly target and without which organizations cannot operate. The announcement includes new AI services and PowerProtect capabilities, identity resilience and managed threat detection, as well as deeper integration across Dell’s storage portfolio with new quantum-resistant encryption.
Today, cyberattacks are not limited to destroying data; They disrupt and paralyze the systems on which organizations depend to function. AI environments have become high-value targets: concentrating sensitive information while introducing new attack surfaces that most cybersecurity strategies were not prepared to address.
Identity platforms control access to all systems, yet most recovery plans still treat them as an afterthought. Additionally, the threat horizon is expanding: data stolen today can be stored and decrypted in the future, when quantum computing makes current encryption obsolete. Organizations need resilience strategies aligned with the direction in which threats are moving.
Strengthening resilience in AI environments
Dell expands its range of services and PowerProtect capabilities to strengthen cybersecurity in AI environments and simplify cyber resilience operations:
- Security Hardening for Dell AI Factory service Helps organizations securely deploy Dell AI Factory infrastructure using security controls aligned with their IT and technical regulations. Dell experts assess the physical, virtual, and application layers, identify configuration risks that may impact AI workloads, and provide prioritized recommendations to reduce exposure.
- The Resilience Operations for AI service It starts by identifying what is truly a priority for the business. Dell experts work with organizations to identify their most critical AI capabilities and design recovery policies and procedures that keep them protected. Dell delivers a prioritized plan detailing which AI applications should be protected and how to recover them if an outage occurs.
- PowerProtect AI Assistant capabilities They provide an improved conversational interface to manage cyber resilience in assets, tasks, restores and reports. Proactive daily summaries detect potential risks before they escalate, and a human-supervised approval workflow allows teams to review and authorize actions before they are executed. These capabilities help detect incidents earlier and react quickly when response time is vital.
Restoring trusted access
Identity systems control access to infrastructure, data, and applications. Their broad reach makes them a high-value target and an essential component within cyber resilience strategies.
New identity resilience capabilities in PowerProtect help organizations restore a clean, trusted copy of their identity platforms, including Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, and Okta. Instead of redoing access controls by hand after an attack, companies can return their identity platforms and access controls to a secure and verified state.
Identity Threat Detection with Dell Managed Detection and Response (MDR) for Identity: The service provides 24×7 monitoring and response to identity threats, including suspicious authentication activity, compromised accounts, and misuse of privileges. When defined attack patterns are detected, Dell experts can trigger automated response actions to contain the threat.
Improving infrastructure resilience
Dell enhances integration between its range of cyber resilience and storage solutions to deliver faster, more flexible recovery options, while helping organizations prepare for the emerging risks of the quantum era.
An enhanced integration between PowerProtect and Dell PowerScale automatically starts, schedules, and manages local snapshots with retention lock for fast recovery. PowerScale SmartSync support allows organizations to synchronize snapshots with Dell ObjectScale for additional backup copy and long-term retention.

In the words of Simon Jelley, Vice President of Cyber Resilience at Dell Technologies, “organizations today manage a level of complexity, exposure and velocity in threats much higher than just a few months ago. They seek to protect their AI environments, identity systems, and infrastructure with tools and strategies designed for the threats of the past. “Dell has the portfolio, services and operational experience necessary to help companies strengthen their cyber resilience and close the gap between the direction of threats and the current situation of most strategies,” he concludes.
