Dell to showcase cyber resilience strategy for enterprise AI at Oct. 27 summit
Dell Technologies will lead a livestreamed event focused on how data protection and cyber recovery have become essential infrastructure layers for reliable AI systems in the enterprise.
Protecting data and ensuring cyber resilience have become foundational requirements for enterprise AI deployments. This message crystallized during discussions at Dell Technologies World in Las Vegas earlier this year, where participants explored how cyber recovery capabilities intersect with AI governance, data integrity and operational trust. The reliability of AI systems now depends fundamentally on the data pipelines, runtime controls and recovery processes that support them.
The AI Cybersecurity and Resilience Summit, airing Oct. 27–28 on theCUBE, will place cyber recovery at the center of its agenda. Dell Technologies is leading the Oct. 27 flagship program, titled "From AI to Quantum: A New Era of Cyber Resilience." Rob Emsley, director of cyber resilience marketing at Dell Technologies Inc., will participate in the broadcast. Emsley has previously discussed how enterprise security teams must continuously sharpen their incident response capabilities and deepen their understanding of core defensive practices.
We train our sellers and our partners about three keywords when it comes to cyber resilience: secure, detect and recover. Secure is about reducing the attack surface. Detect is about detecting and responding to threats. [Recovery] from cyberattacks, at the end of the day, is what the customers expect when they need it.
Rob Emsley, Dell Technologies Inc.
The broadcast will extend to North America, EMEA and APJ audiences on Oct. 28–29. TheCUBE Research analysts Dave Vellante, Krista Case, Christophe Bertrand and Scott Hebner will explore how Dell and its partners are redesigning architecture, policy and operating models to make AI systems more dependable in production environments.
Unified architecture for data and AI protection
Dell announced a series of initiatives earlier this year aimed at integrating its AI Data Platform, PowerProtect portfolio, CyberSense capabilities and automation stack into a cohesive framework. The strategy emphasizes data access, AI-ready data pipelines, cyber resilience and policy-aware AI operations built for enterprise scale.
Dell's announcements reflect that cyber resilience and AI infrastructure platforms are expanding beyond backup and recovery into metadata visibility, recovery validation and contextual understanding of enterprise data. Organizations should pay close attention to how vendors establish governance and validation for AI environments.

This shift beyond traditional backup and recovery reflects how agentic AI is reshaping protection requirements across organizations. As autonomous agents grow more capable of accelerating cyberattacks, enterprises must deploy defensive strategies at an accelerated pace.
The threat is evolving more quickly than ever with agents, and that's why having this secure, isolated, immutable layer — which is a core differentiation for how we build our portfolio — is necessary. Governance is necessary, but governance, as unfortunately we know, is never 100% guaranteed.
Simon Jelley, vice president of product management at Dell
AI as both risk and defensive tool
Beyond defending against AI-driven attacks, Dell and its customers are leveraging autonomous tools to protect critical infrastructure and data. Dell has deployed Claude Mythos Preview and other advanced AI models to systematically identify and remediate product vulnerabilities. Generating unpredictable test scenarios can reveal hidden architectural flaws, according to Jelley.
The reality is you need it to be randomized, and again, that's where you're leveraging those on demand environments to be able to spin up quickly — randomize the test set. AI is going to actually be a contributor to helping there, in terms of randomizing the vulnerability. It's definitely both a risk and a tool in terms of how we help our customers.
Simon Jelley, Dell
This approach underscores a critical element in developing cyber-resilient infrastructure. Survey data indicates that enterprises face significant security challenges in AI implementations, a focus area for Dell's cyber resilience strategy.
Cyber resiliency risk is not just on the data, what you have to go through every day, it's also starting to appear in the actual AI infrastructure itself. Security or cyber exposures … this is what people are saying is, on top of cost, their first operational challenge when it comes to implementing AI. There is no AI without a secure infrastructure, and that means data that is also recoverable, that it is secure and is of course compliant.
