Unisys, Dell EMC enhance protection for cyber recovery operations

KUALA LUMPUR, May 2 (Bernama) -- Unisys Corporation has announced its Unisys Stealth security software suite is integrated with Dell EMC Cyber Recovery software to provide enhanced protection to clients’ cyber recovery operations.

The integrated solution will be available, beginning next month, according to a statement.

Unisys and Dell EMC deliver secure solutions to demanding environments, including government, banking, airline reservations and cargo handling, addressing high-transaction environments supporting police, port, defence agencies and commercial enterprises worldwide.

“With Stealth and Dell EMC Cyber Recovery, organisations can be confident in their ability to restore business operations after a cyber attack,” said Unisys (Enterprise Solutions) senior vice-president and president, Eric Hutto.

Stealth, which includes Dynamic Isolation capabilities to quickly isolate devices or users at the first sign of compromise, reduces attack surfaces in these environments by creating dynamic, identity-driven micro-segments called communities of interest (COIs).

By establishing secure COIs, Stealth separates trusted systems, users and data from the untrusted which further reduces attack surfaces by encrypting all communication between Stealth-protected assets and cloaking the assets from unauthorised users.

Stealth will also increase security for users of Dell EMC Cyber Recovery whereby, organisations can resume business operations quickly, following ransomware or destructive cyberattacks.
