PRESS RELEASE

HOUSTON, Texas – August 7, 2024 – Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced the expansion of its security-focused, AI-driven networking portfolio with the introduction of behavioral analytics-based network detection and response (NDR) capabilities delivered by HPE Aruba Network Central.
The company is also enhancing its cloud-based universal ZTNA approach by extending its reach into 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 centers, delivering a superior user experience and consistent enforcement regardless of a user’s location or connection method.
The new NDR solution uses telemetry from the HPE Aruba Networking Central data lake to train and deploy AI models to monitor and detect unusual activity in vulnerable IoT devices, which play an increasingly important role in supporting mission-critical business processes. As the opportunity for IoT grows to provide organizations with data to train and activate generative AI models, so does the critical need to detect changes in network traffic patterns, connection status, or dynamic device characteristics that indicate a successful compromise.

“Unsecured IoT devices on the network create a blind spot for visibility in security solutions. These devices can be abused to initiate larger network attacks and are therefore one of the largest contributors to an expanding attack surface.”

Jon Green, Chief Security Officer of HPE Aruba Networking

“Enterprises are increasingly realizing that unsecured IoT devices on the network are a blind spot for their security solutions. These devices can be abused to launch larger network attacks and are therefore one of the largest contributors to an expanding attack surface,” said Jon Green, Chief Technology and Security Officer, HPE Aruba Networking. “Additionally, as security teams increasingly rely on the network to deliver zero trust security solutions, HPE Aruba Networking offers the ability to deploy a single access control policy for application resources, on-prem or off-prem, which customers can leverage to reduce overlapping and potentially confusing controls.”

To accelerate threat response, HPE Aruba Networking Central combines attack detection with new policy recommendations to protect against threats by intercepting potential attacks. To ensure recommendations don’t disrupt network operations, teams can also review changes to their security policies before they’re implemented as part of their enforcement and response workflow.
“Enterprises need AI-driven behavioral network detection and response, universal security policies, and edge-to-cloud enforcement to protect users, devices, and applications at scale – an important consideration as AI assets across the enterprise increasingly become targets for attacks,” said Maribel Lopez, founder and industry analyst at Lopez Research.
These new tools further expand HPE Aruba Networking’s security portfolio, following new solutions unveiled at the RSA Conference in May, including AI-driven security observation and monitoring capabilities within HPE Aruba Networking Central, and the company’s first SSE firewall-as-a-service. Also at the conference was HPE Aruba Networking recognized for one of the “coolest cybersecurity products at RSAC 2024.”
HPE Aruba Networking Central and HPE Aruba Networking SSE will be on display at Black Hat USA 2024, taking place August 7-8, 2024, in booth #1160. Additionally, HPE will demonstrate secure compute management and Zerto rapid air-gapped recovery solutions that complement network security controls for comprehensive protection against cyberthreats such as ransomware.
