At the RSA Conference 2024, HPE Aruba Networking takes a significant step towards fortifying cybersecurity defenses against evolving threats by leveraging the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to safeguard valuable AI assets from edge to cloud. Recognizing the critical need for robust security measures in the era of Generative AI and escalating cyber threats, HPE Aruba Networking enhances its portfolio with new AI-powered network security controls, further reinforcing its commitment to Zero Trust Security.
Driving AI-Powered Security Solutions
HPE Aruba Networking combines AI-powered identity information and analysis, security policies, and edge-to-cloud enforcement to protect AI data, models, and applications at scale. As AI assets increasingly become targets for cyber attacks, the integration of AI-driven network security controls becomes indispensable for comprehensive cybersecurity strategies.
At RSA Conference 2024, HPE Aruba Networking will showcase the benefits of a single-vendor Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution with integrated Axis Security innovations. Antonio Neri, CEO of HPE, emphasized the significance of this combination, describing it as the “most comprehensive edge portfolio in the industry.” The integration of Axis Security and HPE Aruba Networking portfolio strengthens security frameworks, offering elements of connectivity, firewall, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), and Secure Web Gateway (SWG).
Enhancing Network Infrastructure Security
HPE Aruba Networking introduces new AI-powered observable security and behavioral analytics capabilities through HPE Aruba Networking Central. By leveraging machine learning models, HPE Aruba Networking Central enhances device visibility, identification, and continuous monitoring for unusual or rogue behavior, addressing security risks posed by unmanaged IoT devices and BYOD.
Furthermore, the integration of firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS) capabilities within HPE Aruba Networking Secure Services Edge (SSE) extends firewall protection to cloud environments, providing increased flexibility, scalability, and performance. New dashboards within HPE Aruba Networking SSE offer enhanced visibility into security status, enabling security personnel to identify shadow IT applications and mitigate unauthorized access risks.
Accelerating SASE Adoption
Integrated Secure Web Gateway (SWG) capabilities within the HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect portfolio facilitate comprehensive protection from web-based threats for all users and devices, including unmanaged and IoT devices. The seamless integration of SD-WAN with SWG enhances security with automated connectivity, simplifying SASE adoption for distributed users, devices, data, and applications.
Case Study: Bethesda Health Group
Bethesda Health Group, in its pursuit of a cloud-first strategy, partnered with HPE Aruba Networking to enhance its cybersecurity infrastructure. By adopting HPE Aruba Networking SSE and SASE platform, Bethesda Health Group achieved consolidated secure access capabilities and automatic policy adaptation, advancing its cloud-first goals.
Michael Keller, Director of Information Technology at Bethesda Health Group, emphasized the significance of HPE Aruba Networking SSE, stating, “HPE Aruba Networking SSE provides us with the cybersecurity protections for creating a powerful, unified SASE platform that helps advance our cloud-first goals.”
HPE Aruba Networking remains committed to driving innovation in cybersecurity by integrating AI-powered solutions into its network infrastructure, empowering organizations to navigate evolving cyber threats with confidence.
