Dell Technologies takes a comprehensive approach to cyber resiliency and is committed to helping customers achieve their security objectives and requirements. Storage Engineering Technologists Richard Pace, Justin Bastin, and Derek Barboza worked together, cross platform, to deliver three independent cyber security white papers for PowerMax, Mainframe, and PowerStore:
- Dell PowerMax: Cyber Security
- Dell PowerMax: Cyber Security for Mainframe Storage
- Dell PowerStore: Cyber Security
Each paper acts as a single point where customers can gain an understanding of the respective robust features and data services available to safeguard sensitive and mission critical data in the event of a cyber crime. All three papers leverage CloudIQ and the CyberSecurity feature to provide customers insight in anomaly detection.
The following figure shows a CloudIQ anomaly that indicates unusual behavior in a customer’s environment:
Backed by CyberSecurity in CloudIQ, we can see how quickly CloudIQ detects the issue and provides the details for manual remediation.
Dell has an ingrained culture of security. We follow a 'shift-left' approach that ensures that security is baked into every process in the development life cycle. The Dell Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) defines security controls based on industry standards that Dell product teams adopt while developing new features and functionality. Dell’s SDL defines security controls that our product teams adopt while developing new features and functionality. Our SDL includes both analysis activities and prescriptive proactive controls around key risk areas.
Dell strives to help our customers minimize risk associated with security vulnerabilities in our products. Our goal is to provide customers with timely information, guidance, and mitigation options to address vulnerabilities. The Dell Product Security Incident Response Team (Dell PSIRT) is chartered and responsible for coordinating the response and disclosure for all product vulnerabilities that are reported to Dell. Dell employs a rigorous process to continually evaluate and improve our vulnerability response practices, and regularly benchmarks these against the rest of the industry.
