TECHNOLOGY indicates there will be around 38 billion connected devices by the end of the next decade , and with that level of connectivity comes an increased access to data .
With such volumes of data inevitably comes the question of the security of that data . “ We ’ re more connected than we ’ ve ever been before which means we are more at risk than ever before ,” says O ’ Regan .
Dell EMC strives to safeguard through that risk by working to become better informed on threat intelligence . Through the use of algorithms designed in house , the company can better understand the threat that comes from handling high volumes of data moving from data centre to cloud , exposing the IP by adopting Continuous Integration and Continuous Development as part of the App Dev experience .
“ By working to understand the threat that comes within our network we can make more informed decisions , analyse predictability and defend against cyber risk more efficiently .”
The merger of Dell EMC , as stated by O ’ Regan , represents the current explosive and disruptive nature of the data technology industry . The increase in focus on data storage and analytics is something that O ’ Regan believes all company ’ s must and will adopt to better serve the ultimate goal , the customer .
“ We are going into this digital , cloudnative world where it ’ s not enough to just to store and protect information anymore . We need use information to better serve our customers , we need to help our customers use information to better serve themselves and we need to use information to better serve people right across the world where possible ,” he concludes . www . emc . com 73
