Dell takes on endpoint security with the Data Protection and Endpoint Security Suite (DDP | ESS), a product the company says differs from similar offerings by Symantec and Sophos through streamlined management and reporting.
It also offers advanced encryption within an integrated easy-to-deploy solution compatible with both Dell and non-Dell systems.
"Every business needs to protect their company data, and this has become more challenging in a world where external threats and compliance requirements are on the rise," the company says. "At Dell, we listened to customer feedback and developed a solution that makes it easier for all businesses, even those with smaller and less specialized IT teams, to protect their workforce devices and generate compliance reports to help prove that sensitive data remains secure."
DDP | ESS is available as standalone software, as well as an integrated offering in Dell commercial laptops, desktops and tablets. A single console handles consolidated status and compliance reports, while preset policy and report templates simplify compliance reports for customers lacking in-house security experts.
The console also provides encryption capabilities including including removable media protection and advanced port controls, Microsoft BitLocker and Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) management, and a Dell-exclusive Hardware Crypto Accelerator with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation.
The DDP | ESS is available now.
