Superna Launches Data Security Essentials for Dell PowerStore, Delivering Unified Protection for All File Data -- Including Windows Server Workloads
LAS VEGAS, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Superna, the leader in unified data-layer security, today announced the launch of Superna Data Security Essentials for Dell PowerStore — a powerful new offering that brings real-time ransomware protection, automated incident response, and compliance-grade auditing to all file data on PowerStore, including workloads running on Windows servers.
As ransomware attacks become more sophisticated and relentless, organizations need proactive defense that starts where attackers do — at the data layer. Superna's latest innovation for PowerStore delivers real-time visibility and control to reduce risk before an attack begins and stop threats the moment they strike.
Key Capabilities:
Real-Time Threat Detection & Response: Superna continuously monitors all file activity using Dell's Common Event Enabler (CEE) APIs to detect ransomware and suspicious behavior the moment it begins — enabling rapid containment directly at the storage layer.
Complete File Workload Coverage: Unlike point solutions that protect only specific file types or access methods, Superna secures all file data on PowerStore, including data accessed via Windows File Servers — closing critical visibility and control gaps.
Automated Incident Response Playbooks: Upon detection of a threat, Superna can immediately quarantine compromised shares, disable Active Directory accounts, and isolate hosts through deep integration with third-party tools — reducing manual response time to seconds.
Denial-of-Service (DoS) Prevention: Quota-based controls prevent attackers or rogue users from overwhelming PowerStore systems by flooding them with malicious files.
Reinfection Prevention: Post-attack scanning policies flag and isolate files capable of reintroducing malware, ensuring a secure recovery with no hidden threats.
Governance & Compliance Reporting: Comprehensive audit trails track every file access, user action, and system change, enabling regulatory compliance and policy enforcement.
Purpose-Built for Dell PowerStore: Packaged with a simple, per-appliance license, Superna Data Security Essentials offers unlimited protection for NAS and Windows workloads on Superna-enabled PowerStore systems, giving Dell customers an easy path to enterprise-grade cyber resilience.
Why This Matters
Ransomware doesn't target firewalls. It targets data.
Superna protects what matters most by operating directly at the storage layer, where files live and attacks land. Whether it's stopping encryption in real time or ensuring clean, auditable recovery. Superna delivers continuous protection across the entire attack lifecycle.
About Superna
Superna is the only unified platform delivering continuous data-layer protection across the full lifecycle of a cyberattack: before, during, and after. As threats evolve and security stacks grow increasingly fragmented, Superna replaces disconnected point tools with a single solution that:
Reduces risk by hardening access to high-value, overexposed data
Detects and contains active threats in real time
Recovers with integrity using forensic-level audit trails
Operates natively at the storage layer—where attackers strike
Secures both structured and unstructured data environments
Superna is trusted by the world's most data-intensive organizations to protect what others overlook: the data itself.

Fixing your broken Windows 11 PC is about to get even harder — here's why
Even with Windows 11, a lot can go wrong with your computer whenever you install new software or drivers, change your settings, and especially if you make tweaks to the registry. This is why you should set up and start using System Restore points if you haven't already. When you make a System Restore point, Windows creates a snapshot of your PC at a given time that you can revert to when something goes wrong. For instance, let's say you updated your drivers and a device like your printer or keyboard isn't working anymore. If you made a System Restore point before doing so (which you absolutely should), you can quickly undo what you did and return to a point when your computer was working as it should. Now, though, Microsoft is changing how this feature works in Windows 11, and as a result, you're going to want to create System Restore points earlier and more often. Here's why. Up until Windows 11, all of the System Restore points you created would be available on your PC for 90 days after doing so. This gave you plenty of time to revert your computer to an earlier System Restore point. With the release of Windows 11 24H2, System Restore points will now be deleted after 60 days. Once this window has passed, you'll no longer be able to access your older System Restore points, which means that if you install a bad app or driver and don't notice that you did so within two months, your only option will be to completely reset your PC. As Windows Latest points out, some System Restore points disappeared even sooner and were no longer available after just 10 days. Thanks to this change, though, that should be a thing of the past, and now you'll have the full 60 days to revert to an earlier System Restore point. In a support document, Microsoft confirmed the change, saying: 'After installing the June 2025 Windows security update, Windows 11, version 24H2 will retain system restore points for up to 60 days. This 60-day limit will also apply to future versions of Windows 11, version 24H2'. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. If you haven't created a System Restore point in Windows yet, you absolutely should, as doing so could be the difference between restoring your PC to an earlier point in time or having to reset it completely. With one of the best laptops or best computers running Windows 11, it's very easy to do so. However, if you're unfamiliar with the process or haven't done so in a while, I'll walk you through the steps. To get started, open the Start menu and type 'Create a restore point' into the search box. This will open the System Protection tab in the System Properties menu in your computer's Control Panel. This feature is disabled by default, so before getting started creating System Restore points, you'll need to turn it on by clicking Configure. A new window will appear next to System Properties, where you'll need to select Turn on system protection to enable the feature. Below, you'll also see a Disk Space Usage slider where you can decide how much of your computer's storage space you want to allocate for your System Restore points. After hitting Apply and closing that window, you'll now be able to make your own System Restore points. To do so, click Create at the bottom of the window, and from there, you'll need to give your restore point a name before hitting Create. It's worth noting that you don't need to worry about the date and time at which you made your System Restore point, as Windows automatically adds this information. Once your System Restore point has been successfully created, a final window will appear letting you know the process is complete. Now, when you go to the Recovery menu within your computer's Control Panel, you'll have the option to Open System Restore so that you can revert to a previous restore point. Backing up your files using the best cloud backup services or even the best cloud storage is important for safekeeping, but with System Restore points, you can back up your entire PC — complete with all your apps, files, and settings — in case of an emergency. That way, you can quickly restore your PC and get right back to how you left it without missing a beat.

Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 review: Technically proficient but lacking soul
In previous years, the Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 probably would have been called an Inspiron. However, after the company revamped its naming scheme earlier this year, all of its consumer PCs now share its name, with a few extra identifiers that call out size, design and status (aka how fancy it is). While I still think Dell's choice to ditch the iconic XPS tag is a mistake, streamlining its portfolio makes a lot of sense, especially for people simply looking to buy a new laptop. The Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 is one of the company's first consumer laptops to feature its updated naming scheme and refreshed styling. And to little surprise, this machine is a solidly competent midrange laptop for everyday productivity with a bit of extra flexibility thanks to its convertible design. But despite all these changes, it feels like something is missing. Dell's revamped 16 Plus 2-in-1 is a competent laptop with an adaptable design and a great optional mini LED screen, but it lacks personality. $750 at Dell Like it did with its model names, Dell has reworked the design of its laptop family. The 16 Plus 2-in-1 features a solid build consisting of smooth aluminum panels on top and bottom with a matte finish and rounded edges. Its 360-degree hinges are small and subtle while still providing plenty of support for tent and tablet modes. But in some ways, it feels like Dell may have gone a bit too minimalist, as the laptop's only distinguishing characteristic is the classic Dell logo in the center of its lid. Port selection is good, but not outstanding, with two USB-C sockets (one supports Thunderbolt 4 while the other handles DisplayPort 1.4), one USB-A, a HDMI 2.1 slot and a 3.5mm audio jack. However, considering its size, I would have liked to see one more USB-C connector, particularly on the right side of the system. Only being able to charge using the ports on the left can be a bit awkward depending on your setup. The lack of a microSD card reader isn't ideal for content creators either. Sam Rutherford for Engadget The keyboard feels great and includes a full number pad for those who need one. Unfortunately, I don't love the 16 Plus' touchpad. Even though it's rather large, it felt surprisingly unresponsive. At first, nearly a quarter of the time I tried to right-click, I simply got nothing. Granted, I was able to adapt, but no matter what I did, clicking never felt quite right. Dell's speakers are also somewhat disappointing as they are hidden behind two small slits on the bottom of the system. This results in audio that sounds flat, hollow and distant, even when the volume is turned up. Given the choice, I would trade the physical number pad for up- or forward-firing speakers positioned on either side of the keyboard, though I admit that might not be a popular choice for anyone who has to do a lot of data entry. Sam Rutherford for Engadget The 16-inch touch display on our review unit is a bright spot as it features Dell's optional 2,560 x 1,600 mini LED screen. Not only can it produce up to 600 nits of brightness, it also has a slightly faster 90Hz refresh rate than the default 300-nit 1,920 x 1,200 FHD+ panel. And after using it for several weeks, this display is definitely one upgrade worth paying for. Colors are richer and more saturated while also providing better brightness, contrast and black levels than a basic LCD panel. Packing either an Intel Core Ultra 5 226V or Ultra 7 258V chip, along with up to 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, the 16 Plus has more than enough speed for everyday computing tasks. Because these laptops can reach either 40 or 47 TOPS, depending on the processor, they support all of Microsoft's Copilot+ AI features. That said, it doesn't support discrete graphics, so this machine isn't a great choice for anyone who regularly needs to do things like serious video editing, gaming or 3D modeling. Sam Rutherford for Engadget Thanks to its 64WHr battery, the Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 offers above average longevity. On PCMark10's Modern Office rundown test, it lasted eight hours and 12 minutes. That's significantly better than rivals like HP's Spectre x360 16 (slightly over five hours), but still a far cry from smaller and less powerful models like the ASUS Zenbook A14 (18:16). I also appreciate that Dell's included 65-watt charger is relatively compact. The 16 Plus supports charging over USB-C (with either of its ports), so you can also use a third-party brick if you prefer. The Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 is a perfectly competent hybrid laptop. Its hinge allows the system to transform into various modes to better adapt to your needs. Its chassis is well built even though it's not particularly eye-catching. Performance is solid and battery life is slightly better than average for its class, while Dell's optional mini LED display provides a great viewing experience. And starting at just $750 (or around $1,400 for the fully loaded model review here), this system feels very reasonably priced. Sam Rutherford for Engadget My main issue is that between its revamped name and new streamlined design, the Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 suffers from a complete lack of personality. It's a totally serviceable machine, but it doesn't have a single trait or feature that endears itself to its user. Same goes for its name. At least with Apple, you know you're getting a MacBook or an iPad. With this thing, Dell is the name of the company, but now it's also the name of the laptop too? Or is it just called the 16 Plus 2-in-1? Either way, it's awkward. Now I fully admit that not everyone feels this way about their gadgets, because at the end of the day, a PC is just a tool. But as someone who likes to feel connected to the devices I buy, Dell's PC revamp has produced something that's hard to love.

Microsoft adds Steam games to its Xbox PC app on Windows
Microsoft is starting to test its new aggregated gaming library in its Xbox PC app on Windows. Xbox Insiders will now be able to see their Steam and games all within the Xbox app — making it a single launcher for most installed PC games. This new consolidated library will roll out to the Xbox app later this year, as well as new devices like the ROG Xbox Ally handhelds. It's part of Microsoft's efforts to make the Xbox app on Windows the home of PC gaming and compete with Steam and SteamOS by combining Windows and Xbox. 'When a player installs a game from a supported PC storefront, it will automatically appear in 'My library' within the Xbox PC app, as well as the 'Most recent' list of titles in the sidebar — making it easier than ever to jump back into your games,' explains Manisha Oza, product manager of the Xbox platform. Microsoft says support for additional PC storefronts will roll out over time. If you want to try out the new aggregated library in the Xbox app on Windows, you can simply download the Xbox Insider Hub on PC and join the PC gaming preview. You can also manage the visibility of games by hiding any PC storefront in the Library & Extensions section of the Xbox app settings.
