In an increasingly complex digital landscape, safeguarding your organization's most valuable asset—its data—is more critical than ever. Cyber threats are not only growing in frequency but also in sophistication, targeting everything from endpoint devices to the core of your cloud infrastructure. A modern data protection strategy must therefore be comprehensive, resilient, and agile. The partnership between Dell Technologies and Redapt delivers on this imperative, combining the power of Dell APEX Backup Services with expert integration and strategic guidance.
This collaboration offers a unified solution to secure your hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Dell APEX Backup Services provides a scalable, cloud-based platform for protecting your data wherever it resides, while Redapt ensures this powerful technology is architected and deployed to meet your specific business and security objectives. Together, we provide a clear path to enhancing your cyber resilience, enabling you to reduce risk, respond to threats decisively, and recover with confidence.
Reduce Your Attack Surface with Unified Protection
The first principle of strong cybersecurity is to minimize the points of vulnerability an attacker can exploit. A sprawling, fragmented data environment creates a large and often poorly defended attack surface. Dell APEX Backup Services helps you shrink this surface by consolidating data protection for your SaaS applications, hybrid workloads, and endpoints into a single, centrally managed platform.
By eliminating data protection silos, you gain consistent policy enforcement and visibility across your entire organization. Key features that help reduce your attack surface include:
- Centralized Monitoring: A single dashboard provides a holistic view of your data protection status across Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, on-premises servers, and user devices. This unified visibility allows you to spot gaps and enforce compliance without juggling multiple tools.
- Source-Side Deduplication: This advanced feature reduces your data footprint by ensuring only unique data blocks are transferred and stored. A smaller footprint not only lowers storage costs but also minimizes the amount of data exposed during a potential breach.
- Robust Encryption: Dell APEX Backup Services encrypts your data both in transit and at rest, ensuring it remains unreadable to unauthorized parties. This fundamental control is essential for protecting sensitive information across its entire lifecycle.
Redapt’s role is to translate these powerful capabilities into a cohesive security architecture tailored to your enterprise. We begin by conducting a thorough assessment of your current data landscape to identify risks and opportunities for consolidation. From there, our experts design and deploy a solution that aligns with Zero Trust principles, ensuring that security policies are applied consistently and access is granted on a need-to-know basis. This strategic approach transforms Dell APEX Backup Services into a powerful tool for proactive risk reduction.
Unifying Backup in a Hybrid World
The modern enterprise operates on a diverse mix of platforms, from on-premises servers and endpoints to a growing portfolio of SaaS applications. This distributed environment creates significant data protection challenges. Traditional backup solutions often struggle to provide consistent coverage, leading to data silos, management complexity, and security gaps.
Dell APEX Backup Services is engineered to solve this problem by providing a single, unified platform for protecting all your critical data. It offers seamless backup and recovery for a wide range of workloads, ensuring comprehensive protection across your entire IT landscape.
Key capabilities include:
- SaaS Application Protection: Safeguard your business-critical information within Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Salesforce. With cloud-to-cloud backup, you can protect against accidental deletion, configuration errors, and malicious attacks that native retention policies may not cover.
- Hybrid Workload Support: Extend robust protection to on-premises and cloud-based systems, including VMware environments, NAS devices, and critical databases like SQL and Oracle.
- Endpoint Security: Secure data on company desktops and laptops, a crucial step in mitigating risks associated with remote work and potential device loss or compromise.
Through Dell APEX Backup Services, you gain centralized visibility and control from a single dashboard. This streamlined approach eliminates the need to juggle multiple backup tools, reducing administrative overhead and minimizing the risk of unprotected data. Redapt ensures this powerful solution is tailored to your unique environment. We architect and deploy the service to align with your operational workflows, ensuring a smooth transition and immediate value.
Enhance Threat Detection and Response
Even with a hardened perimeter, you must operate under the assumption that a threat may eventually get through. Your ability to quickly detect and respond to malicious activity is crucial for containing damage and mitigating business impact. Dell APEX Backup Services provides the visibility and intelligence needed to support rapid detection and response efforts.
The platform offers AI-driven insights and automated reporting that help security teams identify anomalous patterns that could indicate a compromise. With a complete and accessible record of your data, you can more effectively conduct forensic analysis to understand the scope of an incident.
Key capabilities that support detection and response include:
- Automated Compliance Reporting: The service simplifies audit readiness by generating reports that demonstrate adherence to data protection policies. This frees up your IT team to focus on proactive threat hunting rather than manual compliance tasks.
- Granular Visibility: With deep insights into your backup data for SaaS applications like Microsoft 365 and hybrid workloads such as SQL, Oracle, and VMware, you can quickly identify unusual changes or access patterns.
- Endpoint Protection: By extending backup to desktops and laptops, you gain visibility into data on user devices, which are often the primary targets of phishing and malware attacks.
Redapt enhances these capabilities by integrating Dell APEX Backup Services into your broader security operations framework. We help connect its alerting and reporting functions with your existing SIEM, SOAR, or EDR/XDR solutions. This creates a more unified security ecosystem where intelligence from your data protection platform can be used to enrich threat detection and trigger automated response workflows, empowering your team to act with speed and precision.
Automating Compliance and Strengthening Security
Meeting regulatory and internal compliance mandates is a non-negotiable requirement for modern businesses. Demonstrating that data is protected, retained, and recoverable according to specific policies can be a time-consuming and manual process. Dell APEX Backup Services simplifies and automates compliance, providing peace of mind and freeing up valuable IT resources.
The platform offers AI-driven insights and automated workflows that make it easier to manage data governance. You can define and enforce retention policies across all your backed-up data, ensuring you meet requirements for regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and others. Automated reporting provides the documentation needed to prove compliance during audits without manual effort.
Security is embedded into the core of the service, reinforcing a Zero Trust posture for your backup data:
- End-to-End Encryption: Data is encrypted both in-flight and at-rest, ensuring it remains unreadable to unauthorized parties at every stage of the backup and recovery process.
- Source-Side Deduplication: This intelligent feature reduces the amount of data transferred over the network and stored in the cloud. Not only does this optimize performance and lower costs, but it also minimizes the attack surface by reducing the data footprint.
Redapt enhances these built-in features by integrating Dell APEX Backup Services into your broader security framework. Our experts help you configure policies, set up secure access controls, and ensure your data protection strategy supports your overall cybersecurity goals.
Recover with Certainty and Speed
The ultimate measure of cyber resilience is the ability to recover from an attack swiftly and completely. Ransomware and other destructive attacks are designed to cripple operations by encrypting or deleting critical data—including backups. Dell APEX Backup Services is engineered to provide a reliable foundation for recovery, ensuring you can restore business-critical systems with minimal downtime.
The service offers powerful recovery features designed for the modern threat landscape:
