Dell Technologies and AWS help customers protect data from ransomware attacks

Dell Technologies and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are bringing Dell’s cyber-recovery vault to the AWS Marketplace with the launch of Dell EMC PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for AWS. 

Through the AWS Marketplace, customers can easily purchase and deploy an air-gapped cybervault from Dell, a leading provider of data protection appliances and software globally, to help securely protect and isolate data away from a ransomware attack. 

Dell EMC PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for AWS provides multiple layers of protection with a modern approach that allows AWS customers to resume normal business operations quickly and confidently after a cyberattack.

The solution moves a customer’s critical data away from the attack surface, physically and logically isolating it with a secure, automated operational air gap. Unlike standard backup solutions, this air gap locks down management interfaces, requiring separate security credentials and multi-factor authentication for access.

“Data is a strategic asset and protecting it against ransomware and other cyberattacks is critical for organizations to make informed decisions about their business and thrive in today’s digital economy,” said David Noy, Vice President of Data Protection Product Management, Dell Technologies. 

“By teaming with AWS, we are offering customers a cyber-recovery solution that isolates business-critical data away from an attack with an air-gapped cybervault, helping organizations reduce risk and protect data with confidence after a successful cyberattack.”
