Build the new thing and ship it before your competitors. Adopt generative AI and automate whatever’s possible.

Those innovations are commonplace in 2026; what’s also common is security concerns slowing you down, albeit for understandable reasons.

A Dell survey of 750 leaders found 89% see security as central to building anything new (Cyber Resilience for the Modern Data Centre).

Anything new for your organisation widens the surface that attackers can exploit and opens questions over whether what you already have is sufficient. Your instinct to apply the handbrake and review security during innovation isn’t wrong, but the processes during review could certainly be faster. Knowing you can have the freedom to innovate and the protection to fall back on is a whole new layer of assurance that Dell PowerProtect One provides.

Cyber resilience meets innovation

Dell PowerProtect One provides Data Domain hardware, a physical backup appliance to operate inside your data centre. It stores your recovery copies in an immutable form with no route for attackers to exploit.

PowerProtect Data Manager is the software that runs on it, locating your assets and running the backup policies you define, as well as recovery orchestration.

That storage is where your assurance sits during innovation. Backups written to Data Domain are immutable, and Automated System Recovery rebuilds servers from that clean copy.

Projects can ship with you knowing that the data behind them is recoverable. Any breach is something to restore from, rather than something that undoes your work.

An innovation safety net

Innovation stalls most when your projects invite breaches. Prevention is critical, but that alone doesn’t provide you with a safety net. The safety net you need is the immutable backups via Dell PowerProtect One. Because your data is always recoverable, any attack doesn’t mean loss.

Restore and carry on as the solution provides oversight over your environments — you’re able to innovate knowing a breach sets you back only to your last recoverable state.
