Dell Technologies’ cloud-based Project Fort Zero would help enterprises & organizations in defending their information infrastructure
Dell Technologies, the leading provider of IT infrastructure building blocks, has introduced what it calls Project Fort Zero to provide an end-to-end Zero Trust security solution for enterprises & organizations to protect against cyberattacks. The solution will be validated by the U.S. Department of Defense and is part of a Dell Security portfolio expansion.
The Project Fort Zero builds on the momentum of Dell’s Zero Trust Center of Excellence and partner ecosystem to accelerate Zero Trust adoption. Leading an ecosystem of more than 30 top-notch technology companies, Dell will deliver a validated, advanced maturity Zero Trust solution within the next 12 months.
Herb Kelsey, Industry Chief Technology Officer, Government, Dell Technologies, said “Zero Trust is designed for decentralized environments, but integrating it across hundreds of point products from dozens of vendors is complex – making it out of reach for most organizations. “We’re helping global organizations solve today’s security challenges by easing integration and accelerating adoption of Zero Trust,” added Kelsey.
A solution like Project Fort Zero brings a fully integrated, end-to-end, advanced maturity Zero Trust private cloud solution, across markets. We’re confident that this solution will help protect data at the perimeter, thereby making Zero Trust a reality for all.

Ripu Bajwa, Director & General Manager, Data Protection Solutions, Dell Technologies India, “Prioritising and leveraging scalable, real-time, and cloud-enabled data protection storage for backup, archival, and disaster recovery, is the need of the hour. Organizations recognise these challenges and are looking for solutions which can help them integrate data protection across legacy. A solution like Project Fort Zero brings a fully integrated, end-to-end, advanced maturity Zero Trust private cloud solution, across markets. We’re confident that this solution will help protect data at the perimeter, thereby making Zero Trust a reality for all.”
The fully configured Project Fort Zero solution will lower the barrier to Zero Trust adoption. Dell will take on the technology integration and orchestration that typically falls to individual organizations across several vendors. In doing so, the estimated time for advanced Zero Trust adoption is reduced through a private cloud.
To achieve validation, a government assessment team will evaluate the Project Fort Zero solution for advanced maturity accreditation and certify compliance against the U.S. Department of Defense Zero Trust reference architecture, which is recognized around the world. This end-to-end solution will help global public- and private-sector organizations adapt and respond to cybersecurity risks while offering the highest level of protection.
Use Cases of Project Fort Zero
- The Project Fort Zero can be used in on-premises data centers, where data security and compliance are paramount.
- This can be of great relevance for remote or regional locations like retail stores where secure, real-time analysis of customer data can deliver a competitive advantage.
- The Project Fort Zero can be invoked to the field where a temporary implementation is needed in places with intermittent connectivity, like airplanes or vehicles, for operational continuity.
