Why cyber resilience matters more than ever
Cyber threats are the top cause of disruption, growing more sophisticated every day. Cyber threats are now India’s top risk, withonly 4-7%of organisations reaching a “mature” level of readiness to defend against modern cyberattacks. At the same time, 82% expect business disruption from a cyber incident in the next 12-24 months.This gap between confidence and capability makes the shift from mere data protection to full cyber resilience not just important, but urgent.
The three pillars of cyber resilience
Achieving true cyber resilience requires focusing on three critical pillars that work together to create an unbreakable foundation:
- Secure: The first line of defense involves reducing attack surfaces through built-in security measures like end-to-end encryption, retention lock, data immutability, and secure supply chains. This strong base ensures that threats have fewer opportunities to penetrate your systems.
- Detect: Advanced anomaly detection and services provide the intelligence needed to identify potential threats before they can cause significant damage. Early detection transforms reactive responses into proactive defense strategies.
- Recover: When incidents occur, the ability to recover quickly and efficiently with automation and validation tools minimizes downtime and ensures operational continuity. This capability turns potential disasters into manageable interruptions.
PowerProtect: Your foundation for cyber resilience
The PowerProtect platform is designed to strengthen cyber resilience by securing data across all three pillars while delivering performance, efficiency, and scalability. With advanced security features in Data Domain and Data Manager, the portfolio aligns with strategic cybersecurity priorities to provide a strong defense against evolving threats.
Data Domain is widely used as a purpose-built backup solution, supporting over 15,000 organizations globally to protect critical assets. Its all-flash architecture combines hardened security, high performance, data reduction, and integration with storage systems such as PowerStore and PowerMax, along with broad ecosystem compatibility—enabling protection across on-premises and multicloud environments.
At the core of PowerProtect Cyber Recovery, Data Domain isolates essential data from ransomware and other malicious threats in a secure recovery environment. AI-based machine learning helps detect corruption with high accuracy, supporting clean data recovery and faster return to operations.
As cyberattacks grow more sophisticated and remain a leading cause of disruption, resilience has become critical. The promise of sovereign AI can only be achieved by securing the data and infrastructure it relies on. By combining anomaly detection, workload isolation, and recovery automation, PowerProtect helps reduce attack surfaces, accelerate recovery, and maintain operational continuity—giving organizations the confidence to innovate responsibly.
Redefining what’s possible in cyber resilience
The Data Domain All-Flash appliance is built to improve speed, efficiency, and security in data protection. It supports faster restores and replication, reduced rack space usage, and lower power consumption, while also enabling significant data reduction. These capabilities provide a scalable foundation for strengthening cyber resilience as organizational needs evolve.
What’s coming next
Our innovation continues with two upcoming releases that will transform how organizations approach cyber resilience:
- Entry-Level Data Domain Appliance: Designed for simplicity and efficiency, this appliance supports a wide range of workloads, including use in remote or branch offices. It offers built-in immutability and integrity, reduced power and cooling needs, and the flexibility to scale from 8TB to 32TB in a compact form factor.
- PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance: A software-defined solution that simplifies backup and storage operations through a single interface. It incorporates features such as anomaly detection, data immutability, and integrated resilience to support consistent protection and recovery across environments.
Building tomorrow’s smarter private clouds today
Cyber resilience isn’t just a feature—it’s a necessary foundation that enables everything else to work. When organizations can secure, detect, and recover from threats with confidence, they unlock the freedom to innovate, scale, and drive progress without fear.
At Dell Technologies, we’re committed to helping organizations build smarter private clouds that control costs, reduce risk, and scale with confidence. Through our comprehensive PowerProtect portfolio and continuous innovation, we’re not just protecting data—we’re protecting the future of human progress.
