Aruba announces set of cross-portfolio edge-to-cloud security integrations for Aruba ESP
2021-04-14 01:30

Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company announced an expansive set of cross-portfolio edge-to-cloud security integrations for Aruba ESP. The new advancements include the integration of the ClearPass Policy Manager secure network access control platform with the Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN edge platform, formerly Silver Peak, the integration of Aruba Threat Defense with the EdgeConnect platform, and the expansion of the Aruba ESP multivendor security partner ecosystem, providing enterprise customers with the freedom to deploy, cloud-delivered secure access service edge security components of their choice.

Since IoT devices are agentless, IT departments cannot install security clients or redirect device traffic to cloud security services; therefore, zero trust security must be applied at the WAN edge.

To realize the full potential of the cloud and digital transformation, organizations require a new WAN edge that combines on premises and cloud-delivered security, delivering on the promise of SASE to protect users connecting to SaaS and public cloud platforms, and to safeguard IoT devices that require zero trust identity-based security.

Through the new Aruba ESP integrations being announced today, enterprise customers now have the ability to apply granular-level, identity-based security policy from edge-to-cloud to safely connect and protect both users and devices.

The integration of ClearPass Policy Manager with the Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN edge platform augments application intelligence by adding identity knowledge of users, IoT devices, roles, and security posture to form the basis of a SASE WAN edge.

With a new Service Orchestration provisioning workflow, the Aruba Orchestrator management console, formerly Silver Peak Unity Orchestrator, now includes pre-configured default information regarding the cloud security partner's proximity-based cloud security services.
