Wants to duck attacks before PC reaches punters

Dell announced several steps that it's taking to secure its supply chain to prevent attacks that occur before a device reaches a customer.

Dell Technologies global chief technology officer John Roese said that Dell already had professional security engineers and other security measures in place but has added some new ways to protect hardware, one of which is adding more security to its supply chain.

He said there were two areas that Dell has improved in its supply chain to help ensure secure transit and delivery of commercial PCs.

This included SafeSupply Chain Tamper Evident Services place tamper-evident seals on devices and their boxes. These are placed at the factory before shipment, so any broken seal could indicate an issue. People can also elect to have an optional pallet seal for an extra layer of security.
