Tips for Securing Data with Dell

The pandemic dramatically changed the modern workspace in terms of both physical space and Information Technology hardware and software. The resulting hybrid workspace model, which led to employees dividing their time between the office and working from home, proved to companies that most work can get done from virtually anywhere.

However, while working from home reduced the stresses of rush-hour traffic and increased a balanced home-work life, it also increased the likelihood of IT support issues. Westech, a professional IT company in Sandton, believes that as the hybrid working model becomes more firmly entrenched, so companies need to find a trusted IT support partner to help them to select the most appropriate IT equipment and applications.

Westech has therefore partnered with Dell because their PCs are equipped with embedded Absolute Software to ensure a level of persistence that make Dell’s computers virtually tamper-proof.

IT Data Privacy Regulations are Becoming More Stringent

In today’s hybrid work environment, endpoints are scattered across the world resulting in data being regularly compromised. Stringent regulatory requirements, driven by data privacy concerns, add to a company’s woes when it comes down to IT security budgets.

This is where Absolute Software, a leader in endpoint security, plays a vital role by providing several essential benefits for both IT departments and remote workers. Their cloud-based platform maintains a constant connection and visibility to the entire endpoint population, so that you can be assured that your devices and data are protected from the start.

Benefits of Dell Absolute Software

• Track, manage, and secure endpoints and the data on them, even off-network.
• See every endpoint, as well as the apps and data on them and fix blind spots, stay compliant, and make better decisions.
• Absolute can uniquely survive formatting, uninstalls, and other attempts to neutralize it.
• Sustain endpoints with automatic self-healing.
• Locate, lock, and delete data on devices, whether on or off the corporate network.
• Perform end-of-life device wipes with a compliance certificate.

Dell Warranty for PCs

Dell devices also come with a warranty that is particularly suited to hybrid workers. Furthermore, Dell offers an on-site repair warranty. This entails that they will send a technician out to you to undertake the repairs, which reduces repair times to ensure that downtime is minimised.

In further consideration of the hybrid work model, Dell has taken into account the performance and portability of their devices which is reflected in their Dell Latitude 7000 and 9000 series. These slim devices offer a balance between performance, weight, and power.
