Data vulnerability

With organizations facing an increasing level of intrusion attempts, data assets without proper protections are vulnerable. Vulnerability equates to risk—the risk of economic loss and reduced customer satisfaction, as well as reputation risk. Cyber attack statistics from the past few years include:

• A successful cyber or ransomware attack occurs every 11 seconds.[1]
• A large percentage of IT leaders—84 percent—report data loss prevention is more challenging with a remote workforce.[2] 
• More than 60 percent of companies have experienced a data compromise due to an exploited vulnerability.[3]
• The average cost of a cybercrime for an organization is $13 million USD.[4]
• The total global impact of cybercrime is $6 trillion USD.[5] 

Mainframe solutions for PowerMax

Organizations continue to rely on mainframes for three reasons:

• Mainframes are viewed as the “Systems of Record” (SOR) of the organization
• The high-speed transaction processing provided by the platform is unmatched
• Mainframes provide robust Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS)

To protect the data on a PowerMax storage system leveraged by mainframe technology, Dell Technologies’ mainframe solutions take a comprehensive approach to achieving data preservation and resiliency. Dell is an active participant in global security communities to understand the ever-changing landscape in the technological world. These collaborations lead to secure product designs, industry certifications, and secure solutions.
