Dell Technologies has announced a major expansion of its cybersecurity and resilience portfolio, unveiling new services and capabilities designed to protect artificial intelligence environments, identity systems and infrastructure from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
Security Hardening for AI Factory is expected to become available in October 2026, while the latest PowerStore software and Post-Quantum Readiness Assessment are scheduled for release in November 2026. The new PowerProtect and PowerScale snapshot orchestration integration is expected to be available in December 2026. Because they concentrate valuable data while introducing new attack surfaces, the company noted that AI deployments have become attractive targets.
To help customers prepare for future quantum-computing threats, Dell announced that the latest version of Dell PowerStore software introduces quantum-safe encryption for data in transit over Fibre Channel connectivity.
Modern cyberattacks are no longer limited to data theft and destruction, according to Dell Technologies. When combined with supported Dell PowerEdge servers and configurations, the company said the technology can help protect against future quantum-enabled decryption attacks. Dell said PowerProtect identity resilience capabilities, Dell Managed Detection and Response for Identity, Resilience Operations for AI and the expanded PowerProtect AI Assistant capabilities are available now.
Instead, attackers are increasingly targeting systems that organisations rely on to operate, including AI environments, identity platforms and critical infrastructure. At the same time, identity systems control access to applications, infrastructure and data, making them a critical component of any recovery strategy. Dell is also introducing a Post-Quantum Readiness Assessment service that identifies cryptographic vulnerabilities across IT environments, prioritises migration efforts and provides organisations with a ranked view of potential risks.
