⏱️ Estimated reading time: Approx. 6 minutes (6 min read)

Black Hat 2025 once again brings together the global cybersecurity community in Las Vegas. Thousands of experts, from ethical hackers to CISOs, compliance officers, and security architects, will gather to learn and share the latest threat intelligence, defensive strategies, and emerging technologies.

We know that security teams are under tremendous pressure today.

Cyber threats continue to grow in both quantity and quality, and cybersecurity expert 85% says attacks exploiting generative AI are on the rise.¹ At the same time, companies face challenges such as limited resources, talent shortages, and increasingly distributed infrastructure.²

In such a situation, technology should not remain in a merely supporting role. Technology should be able to do it on its own. changeI have to do it.
The latest technological innovations reduce complexity and accelerate threat response, empowering security teams to make smarter, faster decisions.

For HPE Aruba Networking, security isn't just an add-on.
Security is a core principle embedded in every solution, from design through deployment.

In today's post, we'll explore three powerful ways security and IT teams can streamline operations, extend Zero Trust, and strengthen real-time defenses.

SASE copilot: AI-powered security insights at your fingertips

Managing a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) environment is challenging, but it can be especially burdensome when your IT or information security team must handle multiple tools, dashboards, and data streams simultaneously.

SASE copilot is an AI-powered assistant that provides clarity and control across your entire SASE infrastructure.
This intelligent assistant is designed to listen, understand, and respond to natural language queries, helping security and network teams get the insights they need instantly.

SASE copilot provides real-time intelligence without guesswork.

Whether investigating open ports on your network, identifying unpatched systems, or monitoring user activity, SASE copilot delivers accurate, actionable insights tailored to your environment. It saves you time by eliminating the hassle of reviewing multiple dashboards or interpreting complex logs.

By automating repetitive tasks and guiding investigations, SASE copilot reduces the cognitive load on overworked teams and maintains flexibility to respond to evolving threats. For organizations, this can mean faster incident response, improved operational efficiency, and a more proactive security posture.

Open, scalable, and zero-trust ready cloud-native NAC

As enterprises embrace multi-vendor environments, the importance of adaptive and scalable network access control (NAC) solutions becomes increasingly important. Cloud-native, AI-driven HPE Aruba Networking Central NAC provides a radically simplified approach to access management, further supporting a zero-trust strategy.

Enables unified, identity-based zero-trust policies across both HPE Aruba Networking and HPE Juniper Networking environments, providing consistent observability and authentication for both users and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

But it doesn't stop there.

HPE Aruba Networking Central NAC's new third-party device support allows customers to offer services with devices from leading vendors like Cisco and Arista. Based on open IETF standards, this approach provides broad compatibility and future-proof scalability.

The value we provide to organizations is clear:

Central NAC allows customers to provide granular access control across their entire network, regardless of network vendor.
All of this can be implemented without having to replace or remove existing infrastructure.

This means that Central NAC can be deployed across multi-vendor environments across multiple sites, while also enhancing security by enabling consistent observation and authentication across all endpoints. HPE Aruba Networking Central NAC provides a simple and flexible way to implement zero-trust principles in the real world.

HPE Aruba Networking Central's AppEngine for Real-Time Defense with Data

SaaS and cloud applications have revolutionized how businesses operate, enabling speed, flexibility, and innovation at scale.

However, as these applications become more deeply embedded in our daily lives, their attack surface is also expanding.
Securing and managing access to these is no longer just an IT department problem.

This is a business imperative.

Central's Application Intelligence Engine (AppEngine) provides the deep visibility and control your security team needs to proactively respond. With exceptional precision in classifying, analyzing, and managing application traffic, AppEngine transforms network data into real-time intelligence, strengthening your defenses and enabling smarter decision-making.

AppEngine collects application ID (signature) data from trusted partners, enriches it with contextual intelligence, and provides a global library of over 13,000 applications.

This library includes detailed categories and risk profiles, which are deployed to devices such as access points, gateways, and switches managed by Central. The result is a powerful real-time enforcement engine, enabling administrators to confidently implement risk-based, zero-trust enforcement.

AppEngine empowers organizations with precise visibility into public applications, empowering teams to make smarter, data-driven decisions to reduce risk. AppEngine streamlines policy enforcement, making access control more stringent and efficient.

HPE's security portfolio has been further expanded with the acquisition of Juniper Networks.
Here's why we're excited about the future of zero-trust security, brought together by HPE Aruba Networking and HPE Juniper Networking.
