6/3/2014 - Round Rock, Texas - Dell today announced continued momentum in helping customers deploy highly effective strategies for protecting vital systems and crucial data from ever-increasing security risks. According to a recent Dell Global Security Survey, a new generation of cyber-attacks stemming from megatrends, such as BYOD, mobility, cloud computing and Internet of Things, introduces a multitude of new risks that are compounded by a rise in both accidental and malicious internal actions. The survey revealed that 76 percent of IT leaders polled (93 percent in the United States) agree that combating today's threats requires companies to protect complete company perimeters - both inside and outside the organization. Together, Dell KACE and Dell SonicWALL elevate "perimeter" protection for customers by increasing endpoint and network security. "We know it's crucial to safeguard every aspect of our customers' environments - from the data to the endpoint to the cloud," said Tom Kendra, vice president and general manager, Systems Management, Dell Software. "Dell is dedicated to becoming the easiest technology company to do business with and helping our customers achieve their full potential. That's why customers who choose Dell's Connected Security solutions, including Dell KACE and Dell SonicWALL, are well positioned to reduce risks, increase network visibility and decrease IT and security administration."

- The company also implemented KACE Systems Management appliances to streamline software inventory, distribution and patching while safeguarding critical endpoints from potential security risks.
