Hewlett Packard Enterprise has announced the expansion of its security-first, AI-powered networking portfolio with the introduction of behavioural analytics-based network detection and response (NDR) capabilities, delivered by HPE Aruba Networking Central.
The company is also enhancing its cloud-based universal ZTNA approach by extending its reach 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, delivering a superior user experience and consistent enforcement regardless of a user’s location or connection method.
The new NDR solution leverages telemetry from HPE Aruba Networking Central’s data lake to train and deploy AI models to monitor and detect unusual activity in vulnerable IoT devices that play an increasingly important role in supporting mission-critical business processes. As the opportunity grows for IoT to provide organisations with data to train and activate Generative AI models, so too does the critical need to detect changes in network traffic patterns, connection status or dynamic device attributes that are indicative of a successful compromise.
“Enterprises are increasingly realising that unsecured IoT devices in the network present an observability blind spot in their security solutions. Those devices can be exploited for initiating larger network attacks,” said Jon Green, Chief Technology and Security Officer, HPE Aruba Networking.
