Customers describe “cyber security” as the ability to protect computer, network, compute, and storage systems from intentional and unintentional damage, corruption, and theft, and to reduce business disruption. Customers want to know how to achieve cyber security so that the infrastructure would remain operational and service their customers in a nondisruptive fashion if a cyberattack occurs.

Cyber security is not a feature; it is a project, a collaboration.

While Dell provides the technologies to protect data, provide resiliency, and recover data, customers must build processes to protect, validate, monitor, and recover their environments.

To protect data assets that are generated from a mainframe stored on Dell systems, Dell offers the following solutions:

• D@RE
• Secure snapshots and snapsets within TimeFinder SnapVX and zDP
• zDP Two Actor Security
• SRDF (remote replication)

To preserve data assets that are generated from a mainframe stored on Dell systems, Dell offers:

• zDP
• Snapshot policies 
• DLm 
• DLm Long Term Retention (LTR) 

Finally, to monitor your storage environments from possible cyber events, consider the following Dell solutions:

• Unisphere
• CloudIQ
• zCID (New as of October 2023)
• REST API calls for polling information on Anomaly Detection within Unisphere
