©️ Tech-Influence for Dell Technologies 2025
As cyberattacks become faster, stealthier, and more sophisticated, traditional endpoint protection alone is no longer enough. “How to Combat Modern Cyber Threats” explores how organizations can defend against emerging risks—especially those targeting firmware and hardware—by combining integrated endpoint security with intelligent manageability.
Developed by Dell Technologies in collaboration with Intel, this guide uncovers how hardware-level telemetry, BIOS verification, and built-in security frameworks can enhance visibility and response across an entire device fleet. With detailed use cases, including BIOS downgrade and software supply chain attacks, the ebook demonstrates how modern IT and security teams can prevent, detect, and remediate threats faster—while supporting Zero Trust principles and maintaining business agility.
The Evolving Threat LandscapeFirmware and device-level vulnerabilities are now prime targets. In fact, 69% of organizations experienced at least one device-level attack in the past year, signaling the growing urgency for hardware-based security.
Visibility and Actionability GapsMany organizations struggle with siloed tools and limited visibility into “below-the-OS” attacks. The ebook emphasizes that integrating hardware telemetry with software defenses is key to faster detection and automated remediation.
Integrated Security & ManageabilityDell’s commercial PCs, powered by Intel® vPro®, feature Dell SafeBIOS, Indicators of Attack, and BIOS Verification—delivering continuous monitoring and actionable insights to both IT and security teams.
Collaborative Ecosystem DefenseThe partnership between Dell, Intel, and Absolute creates a unified ecosystem that links endpoint, network, and cloud security—closing visibility gaps and supporting Zero Trust frameworks.
Real-World Attack Scenarios & CountermeasuresTwo key use cases—BIOS downgrade and software supply chain attacks—demonstrate how integrated protection helps detect and neutralize threats in real time, leveraging secure supply chains, device telemetry, and remote remediation.
Secure by Design and Self-Healing EndpointsThrough Dell’s Secure Development Lifecycle and Absolute Persistence technology, endpoints can automatically self-heal after tampering, restore applications, and remotely wipe or lock compromised devices—maintaining resilience even beyond corporate perimeters.
