Dell Data Protection | Threat Defense endpoint security solution

Click2Contact

The Dell Data Protection | Threat Defense product offering is a threat prevention solution specifically designed for the needs of growing businesses with limited or no in-house IT staff. 

The product uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to proactively prevent, rather than reactively detect, advanced persistent threats and malware, including zero-day and targeted attacks such as spear phishing or ransomware. According to the company, the solution offers a significantly higher level of protection stopping 99% of malware execution — far above the average 50% efficacy rating of other traditional antivirus solutions.

It provides businesses with a manageable way to enable their workforce to be mobile and secure, while reducing the resources commonly required to implement security solutions. Featuring an intuitive, cloud-based management console, this enables updates and compliance reporting through a single management pane. As the solution does not rely on signature updates, it also does not require a continual network connection to the internet to detect threats. 

The data protection solution enables administrators to safelist files at the policy level or via a signed certificate, where no threat action will be taken against the file or application, to allow for direct control over known secure files and apps. IT administrators can also upload a suspicious file to the cloud for analysis, enabling them to analyse threat vectors they are facing and take better preventative measures.
