Dell pushes harder on encryption, anti-malware defenses
Dell today said it’s ready with new anti-malware defense and encryption offerings for businesses using its PCs, laptops, and Android-based mobile devices.
The improved security is available via the company’s Protected Workspace program for business computing.
Based on its acquisition of encryption and data protection vendor Credant Technologies at the end of last year, Dell can provide pre-installed file protection capabilities for desktops, laptops and Android devices it sells, giving business customers a way to manage encryption capabilities from a central console. In addition, Dell announced it has entered into a partnership with Invincea, which has what it calls a “secure virtual container” technology that protects against malware-based attacks, such as spear-phishing.
