The ever-increasing number of cyber-attacks on client PCs is reaching a fever pitch. There is not one customer enterprise that is immune to these attacks – and these attacks are growing in both frequency and complexity. To compound this, there’s an estimated 240 million PCs* not upgradeable to Windows 11. With Windows 10 support ending this October, these PCs will be losing security updates and any support [1]. In the meantime, AI has arrived on device. And like all emerging technologies, it comes with opportunity, as well as security risk.
What’s a customer enterprise to do? The answer is to reduce their risk to exposure by upgrading and refreshing older PCs sooner rather than later. This way customers can be ready for what comes next from bad actors that attempt to infiltrate their networks.
The reality is that no enterprise can subvert every cyberattack. What they can do though, is to devise a proactive defense strategy that provides the ability to adapt quickly when a breach occurs. To accomplish this there is one key element they must be wary of. This is the element of the unknown - unknown vulnerabilities, unknown access, unknown intruders.
Truly secure PC technology in the AI era must be built to catch and address anomalous activity when it happens, and wherever it happens. This means even right down to the BIOS and silicon levels.
Dell’s Portfolio Of Client PCs Are The World’s Most Secure Commercial AI PCs [2]
Dell’s client devices are designed specifically with thwarting the adversary in mind. These devices all sport advanced security features that assume attacks are inevitable and layer proactive defenses in every device accordingly. For example:
• Device-level “below-the-OS” security. Rigorous controls such as Dell Secured Component Verification protects organizations from the growing risk of supply chain attacks. BIOS tamper detections, collectively termed Dell SafeBIOS, alert on suspicious activities helping ensure foundational, device-level security while in-use.
• Security software ecosystem integrations. Dell PC telemetry enables integration with leading third-party software. Further enhance endpoint security with “hardware-assisted security” where below-the-OS insights from Dell enrich threat hunting in platforms like CrowdStrike Falcon.
• Manageability. Dell builds PCs with both security and manageability in mind. They offer the most manageable commercial AI PCs [3], including a full suite of solutions that help customer IT admins simplify and streamline endpoint management.
Dell's approach to endpoint security is the competitive differentiator you can leverage as a trusted security advisor to your customers. As such, there’s no better time to partner with Dell to improve your customers’ long-term cyber resilience.
