Aruba Advances IoT Cybersecurity

Aruba Networks, a unit of Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE), this week announced it has added an ability to automatically fingerprint devices being attached to a network to enable cybersecurity teams to apply policies to those devices based on how closely they resemble similar devices.
Announced at Aruba’s Atmosphere 2019 conference, the capability discovers devices using a combination of deep-packet inspection technologies and machine learning algorithms embedded in Aruba ClearPass Device Insight, which runs as a cloud service. The analytics surfaced by that offering then can be used to inform Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager and the segmentation capabilities embedded with Aruba networking hardware to determine how specific policies should be applied to an unknown device.
