Centralized data protection has improved compliance and reduces sensitive data exposure
Dell Data Protection Suite offers full disk encryption, data loss prevention, centralized policy management, advanced threat detection, and role-based access control. Dell Data Protection Suite has positively impacted the organization by strengthening the data security posture through consistent enforcement of encryption and DLP across endpoints and servers. It has reduced the risk of data leakage, simplified compliance reporting, and lowered operational overhead through centralized policy and key management across multiple customer environments. Since deploying Dell Data Protection Suite, there has been a 40% reduction in data-related security incidents, mainly due to enforced encryption and DLP controls. Compliance audits are completed 30% faster because of centralized reporting and audit logs. Operational effort has been reduced by automating policy enforcement across endpoints and cloud workloads, resulting in measurable cost and time savings.

Backup management excels with user-friendly interface and effective deduplication, offering robust data protection
Leveraging AI in Veritas NetBackup Appliance is one of the road maps now that they have done a collaboration with Cohesity, which is a feature I'm looking forward to. Using AI is one improvement I recommend for the Veritas NetBackup Appliance. They have implemented some aspects of AI for features such as malware detection and anomaly detection. I believe they can do more to give customers more insight into their data, allowing them to see it and understand what they can do, such as archiving old data. They can do more by utilizing the data effectively to provide insights to customers about their space usage, future projections, and options for managing old data.
