Dell has announced the release of four products that tackle today’s biggest IT imperatives ? including BYOD, cloud, network security, and compliance ? and make Connected Security a reality for customers worldwide. Dell’s holistic and connected approach, which spans from endpoint to datacenter to cloud, helps solve today’s most complex security and compliance problems.

As part of Dell’s Connected Security portfolio, Dell™ One Identity Cloud Access Manager, Dell™ SonicWALL NSA 2600 next generation firewall, Dell™ ChangeAuditor 6.0, and Dell™ InTrust™ 10.7 all provide new levels of protection, and empower organizations to collectively gather, analyze, report and act in a proactive way when managing security threats.

The major trends impacting IT today make it crucial for organizations to move away from managing security in silos, and embrace a strategy focused on connecting security to the infrastructure, information and applications that are critical to the organization. To protect data wherever it resides ? on the network, in the cloud, or on mobile devices ? Dell delivers Connected Security through solutions that provide predictive, context-aware security to detect and protect against unseen threats, as well as managed security service offerings with SecureWorks and Dell Data Protection and Encryption.


One Identity Cloud Access Manager offers web-based access control to help organizations safely and effectively use both on-premise and cloud-based applications.
o Addresses the need to control access to cloud apps and other apps from multiple end points ? including office desktops, laptops, and mobile devices ? that expose organizations to major security vulnerabilities

o Enables Connected Security by delivering browser-based access through a unified and secure single sign-on, with just-in-time cloud provisioning, federation, authorization, and audit capabilities for all use situations

The SonicWALL Network Security Appliance (NSA) 2600 features Dell’s patented single-pass Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection engine, and leverages the power of more than one million connected sensors around the world, so organizations can block the newest threats as they emerge.
o Includes critical security capabilities such as intrusion prevention with sophisticated anti-evasion technology; network-based anti-malware with cloud assist; SSL decryption and inspection; content/URL filtering; application visibility and control and application bandwidth management
