HPE Aruba Networking Strengthens Cyber Defenses with New AI-powered Network Detection and Response and Campus-based Zero Trust Network Access
HPE Aruba Networking has expanded its security-first, AI-powered networking portfolio with new behavioral analytics-based network detection and response (NDR) capabilities and enhanced cloud-based universal Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). The NDR solution uses AI models to monitor IoT devices for unusual activity, addressing the growing need to secure these devices as they become increasingly important for business processes and AI model training. HPE is also extending its ZTNA approach to campus-based local area networks, ensuring consistent access control policies across cloud and on-premises environments.
These new tools aim to protect users, devices, and applications at scale, particularly as AI assets become potential attack targets. The enhancements follow HPE Aruba Networking's recent unveiling of AI-powered security observability and monitoring capabilities within HPE Aruba Networking Central and the company's first SSE firewall-as-a-service at the RSA Conference.

Insights
HPE Aruba Networking's new AI-powered security solutions represent a significant advancement in network defense. The introduction of behavioral analytics-based Network Detection and Response (NDR) capabilities is particularly noteworthy. This technology leverages AI models to monitor IoT devices, which are often vulnerable entry points for cyberattacks.
The extension of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) to campus-based local area networks is a strategic move. It allows for consistent security policy enforcement across cloud and on-premises environments, addressing a common pain point for enterprises with hybrid infrastructures.
These enhancements position HPE Aruba Networking as a strong competitor in the rapidly evolving network security market. The focus on AI-driven security and unified policy management aligns well with current enterprise needs, especially as organizations grapple with the security implications of increased IoT adoption and AI integration.
The integration of AI-powered behavioral analytics for IoT device monitoring is a crucial development. As IoT devices proliferate in enterprise environments, they often become weak links in security infrastructure. HPE's approach addresses this by using AI to detect anomalies in device behavior, potentially thwarting attacks before they escalate.
Moreover, the recognition of IoT's role in training and activating Generative AI models highlights an important trend. As organizations increasingly rely on IoT-generated data for AI applications, securing these devices becomes paramount. HPE's solution not only protects IoT devices but also safeguards the AI models they feed, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of AI-driven business processes.
This move positions HPE well in the convergence of IoT, AI and cybersecurity - a nexus that's becoming increasingly important in enterprise technology strategies.
Expanded security solutions feature behavioral analytics for threat detection and response and ability to enforce security policies in the cloud and the local area network via Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)
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 centers, 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 organizations 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 realizing 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, and thus are also one of the largest contributors to a growing attack surface,” said Jon Green, chief technology and security officer, HPE Aruba Networking. “In addition, as security teams increasingly rely on the network to deliver zero trust security solutions, HPE Aruba Networking is providing the ability to leverage a single access control policy for application resources, on-prem or off-prem, that customers can adopt to reduce overlapping and potentially confusing controls."
Also, 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 will not disrupt network operations, teams can also preview changes to their security policies before implementation as part of their enforcement and response workflow.
“Companies need AI-powered behavioral network detection and response, universal security policies, and edge-to-cloud enforcement to protect users, devices, and applications at scale – a key consideration as AI assets throughout the enterprise increasingly become attack targets,” said Maribel Lopez, founder and industry analyst at Lopez Research.
These new tools further expand HPE Aruba Networking’s security portfolio, following the new solutions unveiled at the RSA Conference in May, which included AI-powered security observability and monitoring capabilities within HPE Aruba Networking Central, and the company’s first SSE firewall-as-a-service. Also at the conference, HPE Aruba Networking was recognized for one of the “Coolest Cybersecurity Products at RSAC 2024.”
