Executive summary
The Dell Technologies approach to security is intrinsic in nature. Security is integrated, not bolted-on after the fact, and it is
integrated into every step of the Dell EMC Secure Development Lifecycle. The PowerEdge team continuously evolves the security
controls, features, and solutions to meet the ever-growing threat landscape. A key security foundation is Silicon Root of Trust.
This paper details the security features built into in the PowerEdge Cyber Resilient Platform, many enabled by the integrated Dell
Remote Access Controller (iDRAC9). Many new security features have been added, which span from access control to data
encryption to supply chain assurance. These features include:
• Live BIOS scanning
• UEFI Secure Boot Customization
• RSA SecurID Multi Factor Authentication
• Secure Enterprise Key Management (SEKM)
• Secured Component Verification (SCV)
• Enhanced System Erase
• Automatic Certificate Enrollment and Renewal
• Cipher Select
• Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) support
All features make extensive use of intelligence and automation to help IT admins stay ahead of the threat curve.
