PowerEdge Security
Elevate your cyber resilience and protect your data with a comprehensive security-first architecture embedded into every server.
Cyber resilient servers designed for zero-trust architecture
Protect against potential threats, detect suspicious activity, and recover quickly with intrinsically-secure PowerEdge servers. Build a zero-trust framework with building blocks that operate on a 'verify before trust' principle, ensuring users and devices have access only to what they need.
Benefits of the PowerEdge security framework
Threat detection and response
Leverage PowerEdge servers with integrated iDRAC telemetry streaming for continuous, real-time analysis and monitoring of security events, such as unauthorized access attempts or anomalous login activity.
Secure, compliant data storage
Ensure the secure handling of sensitive data in compliance with regulations like GDPR or HIPPA with built-in self-encrypting drives (SEDs) and integrations with third-party management solutions.
Ensure business continuity
Combine secure boot mechanisms and remote management through iDRAC to quickly detect malware and restore systems to a secure state, minimizing downtime during cyber attacks.
Flexible consumption
Secure supply chain
Confidently deploy new servers with Dell Secured Component Verification that verifies the hardware components in the systems remain unchanged and authentic from the time of manufacture to delivery.
Immutable silicon-based root-of-trust
One-time programmable, read-only public keys provide cryptographic protection against malware tampering, ensuring the integrity of PowerEdge BIOS and iDRAC firmware.
System lockdown mode
This iDRAC feature blocks server hardware and firmware configuration changes or updates, whether unintentional or malicious. Enablement of this setting can also help prevent configuration "drift" from organizational standards.
Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Security features such as Multifactor Authentication (MFA) and RoleBased Access Control (RBAC) restrict access to features of Dell's powerful server management tools.
Hardware intrusion detection and logging
Sensors detect when anyone opens or tampers with the chassis, even when no AC power is available or during transit, and these intrusions automatically generate entries in the iDRAC Lifecycle Logs.
Automated BIOS and operating system recovery
PowerEdge servers include two types of recovery: BIOS Recovery and Rapid Operating System (OS) Recovery. These features enable rapid recovery from corrupted BIOS or operating system images from malicious attacks, a power loss during an update process, or other unforeseen event.
