Dell Project Fort Zero Expands Security Solutions and Services

Dell Project Fort Zero is an end-to-end Zero Trust security solution to protect against cyberattacks that will be validated by the NSA and the US Department of Defense.

Project Fort Zero builds on Dell’s Zero Trust Center of Excellence and a partner ecosystem to accelerate Zero Trust adoption. Dell will lead an ecosystem of over 30 technology companies with plans to deliver a validated, advanced maturity Zero Trust solution within the next 12 months. Thus far Dell has delivered several products with a Zero Trust emphasis, their 5G mobile operations center.

Adoption of Zero Trust Just Got Faster

Dell plans to take on the technology integration and orchestration, typically relegated to individual organizations across several vendors, to fully configure a Project Fort Zero solution with the barrier to Zero Trust adoption reduced through a private cloud. Validation is achieved via a government assessment team that will evaluate the solution for advanced maturity accreditation and certify compliance against the U.S. Department of Defense Zero Trust reference architecture.

This end-to-end solution will help global public- and private-sector organizations adapt and respond to cybersecurity risks while offering the highest level of protection.

Project Fort Zero can serve a variety of use cases, including:

In on-premises data centers for organizations where data security and compliance are paramount.
In remote or regional locations like retail stores where secure, real-time customer data analysis can deliver a competitive advantage.
In the field where a temporary implementation is needed in places with intermittent connectivity, like airplanes or vehicles, for operational continuity.

Product Success Accelerator (PSX) for Backup

In addition to Project Fort Zero, Dell announced the launch of a new service, PSX for Backup, to help organizations protect and recover data in the event of a disruption. PSX for Backup simplifies the implementation and maintenance of backup
environments to enable data recovery. It follows the recent release of PSX for Cyber Recovery, which implements and helps operationalize an isolated cyber recovery vault.

Organizations can choose from three levels of backup or cyber recovery based on their needs. The three levels include:

Ready includes planning workshops, configuring a validated backup or vault environment, a success plan, a runbook, and outcome-based skills training.
Optimize adds quarterly assessments, improvement recommendations, and assisted restore test simulations.
Operate adds ongoing operational assistance to meet the solution’s performance objectives. Skilled experts monitor and investigate alerts, initiate corrective actions, and help with restore tasks at the customer’s direction.

Project Fort Zero’s advanced maturity Zero Trust solution will be available to public- and private sector organizations within the next 12 months.
Dell Product Success Accelerator for Backup is now available in locations across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
Dell Product Success Accelerator for Cyber Recovery expanded availability to locations in Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific, in addition to North America.

I have been in the tech industry since IBM created Selectric. My background, though, is writing. So I decided to get out of the pre-sales biz and return to my roots, doing a bit of writing but still being involved in technology.
