"PC maker powerhouse Dell announced today a flurry of new enterprise
security solutions for the company's line of enterprise products. From
a report: The new services can be grouped into two categories, with
(1) new solutions meant to protect the supply chain of Dell products
while in transit to their customers and (2) new features meant to
improve the security of Dell products while in use. While Dell has
previously invested in securing its customers' supply chains, the
company has announced today three new services. The first is named
SafeSupply Chain Tamper Evident Services and, as its name implies,
involves Dell adding anti-tampering seals to its devices, transport
boxes, and even entire pallets before they leave Dell factories. The
anti-tampering seals will allow buyers of Dell equipment to determine
if any intermediary agents or transporters have opened boxes or
devices to alter physical components. The second supply chain security
offering, named the Dell SafeSupply Chain Data Sanitization Services,
is meant for tampering made at the storage level."
