Dell Technologies and Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), are bringing Dell’s cyber recovery vault to the AWS Marketplace with the launch of Dell EMC PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for AWS.

Multiple layers

Dell EMC PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for AWS provides multiple layers of protection with a contemporary approach that allows AWS customers to resume normal business operations quickly and confidently after a cyberattack. The solution moves a customer’s critical data away from the attack surface, physically and logically isolating it with a secure, automated operational air gap. This air gap locks down management interfaces, requiring separate security credentials and multi-factor authentication for access.

“Data is a strategic asset, and protecting it against ransomware and other cyberattacks is critical for organisations 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. “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 organisations reduce risk and protect data with confidence after a successful cyberattack.”

Diverse deployments

With the continued adoption of diverse IT infrastructures across the public cloud and on-premises environments, data protection solutions can improve data security. According to the 2021 Dell Technologies Global Data Protection Index survey of 1,000 global IT decision makers, 67% of organisations lack confidence that all their business-critical data can be recovered in the event of a 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. “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.”

Dell EMC PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for AWS is available today from the AWS Marketplace.
