Dell announced a new endpoint security suite that enables businesses of all sizes to secure their workforce, protect data and meet compliance requirements. The Dell Data Protection | Endpoint Security Suite (DDP | ESS) delivers threat protection, authentication and data encryption with a single management console in an integrated, easy-to-deploy solution. DDP | ESS is compatible with Dell and non-Dell systems, making Dell the first Tier 1 vendor to develop endpoint security software which can be used on all workplace devices.
DDP | ESS is available as a stand-alone software offering for both Dell and non-Dell hardware, and as an integrated offering with Dell commercial laptops, desktops and tablets. Installing DDP | ESS on Dell clients provides greater security due to unique hardware-software integration and the simplest deployment process via “out of the box” capabilities. This security suite makes Dell the only Tier 1 vendor offering customers a single source for purchase and support of hardware as well as a fully integrated endpoint security solution.
With more data being circulated outside the direct control of IT departments, businesses need to ensure their security infrastructure not only detects and defends against malware, but also encrypts data so it’s protected no matter where it goes while allowing IT to maintain encryption keys and control. In addition to strong authentication, encryption and threat protection, DDP | ESS addresses security compliance requirements by providing consolidated management and compliance reporting, easy setup and deployment and built in security expertise.
DDP |ESS is an extremely flexible solution with support for centrally managed authentication and a broad range of data protection, including hardware- and software-based encryption. A single management console supports best-of-breed encryption capabilities including removable media protection and advanced port controls, Microsoft BitLocker and Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) management, and Dell exclusive Hardware Crypto Accelerator with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation – the highest level available for a disk encryption solution
Unlike many competing offerings, DDP | ESS puts IT and user experience at the forefront. The suite is transparent to end users and promotes a consistent management experience to improve overall productivity
DDP | ESS integrates the leading endpoint protection from throughout the Dell Data Protection portfolioproviding businesses with authentication, encryption and threat protection across both Dell and non-Dell devices. The suite furthers Dell’s commitment to deliver the world’s most complete endpoint security offering and provides businesses with a solution that not only enables a mobile workforce to be productive, but is also simple for businesses to deploy and monitor.
