The tools, systems, and solutions you choose may enhance or hinder your cyber security. Dell Technologies provides solutions at a holistic level focusing on two areas, data protection and data resiliency. Without accounting for both preservation and resiliency, your infrastructure might have a higher risk of an unfavorable outcome if a cyber event occurs. An unfavorable outcome is one where you are unable to recover your data assets and unable to learn anything from such a cyber event.

Dell follows a ”'shift-left” approach to security, ensuring that security is baked into every process in the development life cycle. Dell’s 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 includes both analysis activities and prescriptive proactive controls around key risk areas. 

Dell strives to help customers minimize risk associated with security vulnerabilities in Dell 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) coordinates the response and disclosure for all product vulnerabilities that are reported to Dell. We employ a rigorous process to continually evaluate and improve our vulnerability response practices and regularly benchmark them against the rest of the industry. Dell has an ingrained culture of security.
