Getting A Handle On Data
Security Advisor Middle East
|March 2018
Michel Nader, Regional Director, Data Protection Solutions, Middle East, Turkey and Africa (META Region), Dell EMC, shares insights on the critical strategies needed for protecting data.
-

Last year, we have seen a spate of ransomware attacks globally. Do you see this continuing in 2018? What do you think is still lacking among enterprises today that make them vulnerable to such attacks?
Workforces today are more global and mobile than ever before. Hence, a growing number of connected devices are being added to the attack surface every minute. On the other hand, the threat landscape is also continually evolving where cybercriminals are finding new and improved ways, such as botnets, Trojans, adware, and ransomware, to bypass traditional security measures and avoid detection. Whether it’s an individual, small business or a large enterprise, no one in the region is immune to a cyberattack. While the sophistication of threats rapidly increases, security teams struggle to explain and quantify the business implications of security incidents.
Threats evolve quickly and it is imperative that organisations implement a multi-faceted security approach that can effectively stop evolving threats. While there is no silver bullet for complete endpoint and data security protection, there are comprehensive solutions available today that can significantly help protect against threats and keep critical data secure. With these challenges continuing to impact our customers, Dell is more committed than ever to playing a significant role in creating a new paradigm for the industry.
