Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has significantly advanced its commitment to security and artificial intelligence by introducing new network detection and response (NDR) capabilities grounded in behavioral analytics. This innovation, integrated into the HPE Aruba Networking Central platform, marks a pivotal enhancement in the company’s security-first, AI-driven networking suite.
By extending its focus to campus-based local area networks (LANs), HPE is bolstering its cloud-based universal Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) strategy. This expansion aims to deliver a superior user experience and consistent security enforcement, irrespective of the user’s location or connection method.
The newly introduced NDR solution capitalizes on the vast amounts of telemetry data collected by HPE Aruba Networking Central’s data lake. This data is used to train and deploy sophisticated AI models that vigilantly monitor and identify unusual activity across vulnerable Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
These devices are becoming increasingly vital in supporting critical business operations. As the role of IoT in generating data for training and activating Generative AI models expands, so does the necessity to detect anomalies in network traffic, connection status, or dynamic device attributes that could signal a security breach.
Businesses are increasingly acknowledging that unsecured IoT devices represent a significant blind spot in their security frameworks. These devices can be exploited to initiate larger-scale network attacks, highlighting the critical need for advanced detection mechanisms.
HPE Aruba Networking is addressing this challenge by offering a unified access control policy for application resources, whether on-premises or cloud-based. This streamlined approach aims to reduce the complexity and potential confusion associated with overlapping security controls.
These new additions to HPE Aruba Networking’s security portfolio further enhance the company’s offerings, building on the innovations introduced at the RSA Conference in May. At that event, HPE unveiled several cutting-edge solutions, including AI-powered security observability and monitoring features within HPE Aruba Networking Central and the company’s inaugural Secure Service Edge (SSE) firewall-as-a-service.
