HPE Aruba Networking Bolsters Cybersecurity Portfolio With AI and Behavioral Analytics-Powered NDR
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Aruba has expanded its AI-powered networking portfolio by introducing behavioral analytics-based network detection and response (NDR) capabilities. Learn more about the development and its implications for cybersecurity.
- Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced the expansion of its AI-powered networking portfolio by introducing behavioral analytics-based network detection and response (NDR) capabilities.
- The company is also bolstering its cloud-based universal Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) approach by extending to campus-based local area networks.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has announced the launch of a significant advancement in cybersecurity through its HPE Aruba Networking division. This division includes next-gen AI-powered Network Detection and Response and Campus-Based Zero Trust Network Access solutions. These innovations will bolster organizational defense against increasingly sophisticated threats.
New Offerings
The new AI-powered NDR solution aims to leverage behavioral analytics to identify anomalies in network activity, helping to identify and respond to security incidents faster. The solution uses data from HPE Aruba Networking Central’s data lake. The tool is specially designed to stop advanced persistent threats (APTs) and other evolving risks that conventional security solutions fail to address.
In addition to the NDR solution, HPE launched its ZTNA approach for campus-based local area networks. The new security framework focuses on the principle of ‘never trust, always verify’ to ensure that all users inside or outside the network are continuously authenticated and authorized. The solution integrates with HPE’s networking infrastructure for better granular access control and a smaller attack surface.

Implications of AI Integration
Both offerings integrate artificial intelligence. With AI, the NDR solution can continuously monitor network traffic, detect deviations, and learn normal user patterns, which will help prompt the identification of breaches. The tool will consequently minimize the time needed to identify and mitigate the threats, minimizing damages.
In the ZTNA solution, AI is used to implement real-time adjustments to organizational policies based on the behavior of devices and their users. This approach ensures only legitimate and legally compliant access requests are approved, preventing unauthorized access and lateral movement in a network.
HPE Aruba Networking Central
The NDR and ZTNA solutions are integrated with HPE Aruba Networking Central, the company’s cloud-native network management platform. This integration offers organizations a unified dashboard for both services to monitor and manage networks, allowing for better visibility and control over network infrastructure.
HPE Aruba Networking Central combines attack detection with policy recommendations to protect against threats. The platform also offers better scope for scalability, allowing organizations to deploy and manage these security features without investing in additional infrastructure. Consequently, cybersecurity postures are improved without extra expenses.
Takeaways
HPE’s newest products can be seen as a notable step forward in cybersecurity frameworks. As per industry standards, such measures will become crucial to protect data, ensure business continuity, and ensure regulatory compliance. Using zero-trust principles and behavioral analytics aligns with proactive and adaptive security strategies.
Automating threat detection and response reduces the burdens on IT security teams, allowing organizations to focus on strategic efforts instead. HPE Aruba Networking will likely expand its AI-driven offerings for better efficiency and functionality, improving the company’s market position.
