As artificial intelligence (AI) workloads rapidly consume enterprise data centers, the importance of the "resilient infrastructure" supporting them is becoming increasingly apparent. This is because they face threats as complex as AI models themselves. Recognizing this need, Dell Technologies is working to strengthen network resilience and data protection capabilities to bridge the gap between AI ambitions and operational security.
"When we start a new project, we must consider security from the design phase," said Jim Shuk, head of cybersecurity and compliance practices at Dell Technologies. He pointed out that many companies often overlook basic security measures when building AI factories.
At this year's RSA Conference (RSAC 2026), Dell announced an expansion of its resilient infrastructure solutions for the mid-market. This release includes a new PowerProtect Data Domain appliance and an expansion of managed detection and response services covering the PowerScale AI data storage platform.
Similar to traditional systems, AI infrastructure also possesses attack vectors and faces unique risks such as data poisoning and model manipulation. Dell research shows that only 40% of enterprises globally are able to minimize the impact and successfully recover in simulated cyberattacks or incident drills. Because AI still runs on top of infrastructure, if that infrastructure lacks resilience, it will struggle to address risk management or compliance issues. Dell emphasizes its unique position in integrating all elements to solve these challenges.
Building on the experience of previous security practitioners, Dell continues to evolve its solutions to make them quickly adaptable to AI infrastructure, thereby helping customers more easily address the challenges they face today.
