Dell and AWS partner to protect customer’s data against ransomware attacks

Dell Technologies and Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) have launched Dell EMC PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for AWS, which brings Dell’s cyber recovery vault to the AWS Marketplace. Customers can purchase and deploy an air-gapped cyber vault from Dell, the world’s largest provider of data security appliances and software1, through the AWS Marketplace to help safeguard and isolate data from a ransomware assault.

“Data is a strategic asset,and protecting it against ransomware and other cyberattacks is critical for organizations to make informed decisions about their business and thrive in today’s digital economy,” said David Noy, vice president of data protection product management, Dell Technologies. 

He added, “By teaming with AWS, we are offering customers a cyber recovery solution that isolates business-critical data away from an attack with an air-gapped cyber vault, helping organizations reduce risk and protect data with confidence after a successful cyberattack.” 

“Dell Technologies’ cyber recovery solution will help our joint customers face the threat of ransomware and other cyberattacks,” said Sabina Joseph, general manager, America’s Technology Partners, AWS.

She added, “Through Dell EMC PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for AWS, our customers can now have access to a data vault they can purchase and deploy on AWS.” 

“Having strong relationships with global technology experts, such as Dell Technologies and AWS, ensures our cloud operations always remain safe, sound and secure,” said Jason Sandery, executive manager, Cloud Services, Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

He also said, “Using powerful cloud cyber recovery solutions gives us the confidence that our data remains protected from highly-destructive cyber threats, like ransomware, and overall uplifts our risk resilience and operational efficiency.” 

After a cyberattack, Dell EMCPowerProtect Cyber Recovery for AWS delivers multiple layers of protection and a modern strategy that allows AWS clients to quickly and reliably resume normal business activities. The technology physically and logically isolates a customer’s important data from the attack surface with a secure, automated operational air gap. Unlike traditional backup solutions, this air gap secures administration interfaces by requiring distinct security credentials as well as multi-factor authentication.

Data protection solutions can help firms secure their data when they deploy a variety of IT infrastructures, including public cloud and on-premises systems. According to the 2021 Dell Technologies Worldwide Data Protection Index, 67 percent of enterprises lack trust that all business-critical data can be retrieved in the event of a damaging cyberattack, according to a study of 1,000 global IT decision makers. Customers may use Dell EMC PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for AWS to combat the growing threat of ransomware and other assaults.

Dell EMC PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for AWS, which is now available for purchase in AWS Marketplace, is the latest data protection solution from Dell Technologies. AWS Marketplace is a digital catalogue with thousands of software listings from independent software vendors that makes it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software that runs on AWS. With a simple payment, customers can obtain immediate access to Dell’s portfolio of data security services for AWS, allowing them to begin implementation right now.
