Dell is expanding its cybersecurity solutions. Additional options within the MDR offering are particularly noticeable, along with the addition of Crowdstrike.

Dell sees more opportunities in its cybersecurity solutions. In a no-door presentation, we hear multiple experts discuss how the attack surface has increased, security is a priority, and complexity is not good. Dell will eliminate complexity, including adding a bit more complexity to its Managed Detection and Response (MDR) offerings.

Finally, the MDR solution gets a new touch: MDR Pro Plus. As part of Dell’s current MDR offerings, organizations can sign up to continuously monitor their IT environment for threats, proactively identify emerging threats using threat intelligence available at Dell, and receive rapid remediation assistance. Within the MDR Pro Plus offering there is room for attack simulation and frequent penetration testing. This offer also includes training courses to raise employee awareness. That’s a good thing, because overzealous employees are traditionally a weak link in the security chain.

Dell now also ensures that experts can help an affected company within two hours of a cyber attack. This capacity falls under the name of Incident Recovery Care but is not immediately available in Belgium. MDR Pro Plus is now available worldwide.

Crowd strike by Dell

In addition, Dell announces that it is expanding the SafeGuard and Response portfolio to give customers more security choices. That’s a fancy way of saying Dell is essentially becoming a Crowdstrike reseller. Businesses that rely on Dell for their security can now choose CrowdStrike Falcon.
