Dell Technologies has introduced new AI-powered cybersecurity enhancements across its PowerStore, PowerScale, and PowerProtect Data Domain product lines, aiming to strengthen data protection and cyber resilience for enterprise environments.

Speaking at the Day 2 keynote of Dell Technologies World, Chief Operating Officer Jeff Clarke spotlighted how the company is expanding its private cloud and data center offerings with security as a core pillar.

PowerStore, Dell’s storage platform launched in 2020, now includes built-in ransomware defense powered by AI. The system analyzes data snapshots directly on the array, allowing early detection of threats and rapid identification of the last clean copy for recovery.

“This helps customers recover faster and minimize the impact of cyberattacks,” said Varun Chhabra, SVP of Infrastructure and Telecom Marketing at Dell. The AI engine tracks suspicious behavior—such as sudden deletions or encryption—not just known malware signatures. It also delivers post-attack forensic insights for streamlined recovery.

PowerScale has also received a security boost with the launch of the PowerScale Cybersecurity Suite. It actively monitors for anomalies and can instantly block malicious activity to prevent large-scale data loss. It features an air-gapped vault for critical backups and supports disaster recovery. The suite integrates with existing incident response tools like ServiceNow, enabling seamless operation within traditional ITSM workflows.

Dell also introduced PowerProtect Data Domain All-Flash appliances, promising significantly faster performance with enhanced cyber resilience. According to Chhabra, the new appliance offers up to 4x faster data storage, 100% faster replication, and 2.8x faster analytics for data integrity checks—while using 40% less rackspace and consuming up to 80% less power compared to traditional HDD systems.

These announcements follow Dell’s Day 1 focus on its “AI Factories” initiative, made in collaboration with Nvidia, AMD, and Intel.
