Hewlett Packard Enterprise is expanding its security-focused, AI-powered networking portfolio. This includes introducing network detection and response (NDR) capabilities powered by behavioural analytics, delivered through HPE Aruba Networking Central.
HPE is also enhancing its cloud-based universal zero trust network access (ZTNA) approach by extending it to campus-based local area networks. This new local edge capability brings the same access control policies defined for the cloud directly to campuses and data centres, providing a consistent user experience and policy enforcement regardless of location or connection method.
The HPE Aruba Networking solution combines attack detection with new policy recommendations to accelerate threat response and protect against threats. Teams can also preview security policy changes before implementation to ensure they won't disrupt network operations.
Chief technology and security officer, Jon Green opines that as security increasingly relies on the network, HPE Aruba Networking provides a single access control policy for on-premises and off-premises application resources, helping customers reduce overlapping and potentially confusing controls.
Maribel Lopez, founder and industry analyst at Lopez Research says companies need AI-powered behavioural network detection and response, universal security policies, and edge-to-cloud enforcement to protect users, devices, and applications at scale, as AI assets throughout the enterprise become potential attack targets.
