A Moscow Arbitration Court has reportedly seized almost $11 million belonging to Dell LLC after the company failed to provide paid-for services to a local system integrator. IT systems integrator Talmer sued Dell early last month when the American computer giant declined to provide technical support services for VMware as previously agreed.
Dell is partnering with high-profile cloud-based data analytics vendor Snowflake to enable organizations to take the data they're keeping in their data centers in Dell object storage and run it in Snowflake's Data Cloud while keeping the data on premises or copying it to the public cloud, an important capability for companies with data sovereignty or privacy concerns who can't freely move it around. In another move to bridge the gap between data stored in central data center and in public clouds, Dell at the show is demonstrating how its block and file storage platforms can run in public clouds and how companies can buy the software as a managed service via cloud credits.
Five new security weaknesses have been disclosed in Dell BIOS that, if successfully exploited, could lead to code execution on vulnerable systems, joining the likes of firmware vulnerabilities recently uncovered in Insyde Software's InsydeH2O and HP Unified Extensible Firmware Interface.

Two data protection solutions, Dell Data Protection and McAfee Complete Data Protection, can provide protection against hackers and other bad actors. Dell Data Protection is a data protection solution with multiple products targeting data and folder encryption, BitLocker management as well as self-encrypting device management.

When it comes to IT, disruption is just another day at the office. From fending off cyberattacks to incorporating leading-edge technologies, today's organizations no longer experience "Business as usual."
Giving employees the flexibility to be fully productive while working remotely makes it critical that businesses have endpoint security measures in place to prevent, detect and respond to the growing threat landscape while allowing employees the flexibility to work remotely. Dell endpoint protection spans the enterprise to include multi-cloud data protection solutions that can be delivered as software-defined and/or appliance-based solutions, and above all, enables users to remain highly productive by defeating increasingly sophisticated attacks in the new remote work paradigm.
