Enhancing Network Security with Cost-Effective Microsegmentation

Why Microsegmentation Matters

Microsegmentation—dividing a network into smaller, isolated segments or even isolating each host—is a critical element in modern cybersecurity. By ensuring that a breach in one part of the network cannot spread laterally, microsegmentation provides an essential safeguard against threats like ransomware and unauthorized access. Aruba’s approach takes microsegmentation to the next level by enabling the isolation of individual hosts, enhancing security without adding complexity.

Implementing this strategy is no longer optional, particularly in the context of regulations like the NIS2 Directive, which underscores the need for robust cybersecurity measures to ensure business continuity and compliance.

HPE Aruba Networking: Security at the Connection Point

Unlike traditional security models that rely on central firewalls, HPE Aruba Networking enforces security policies directly at the connection points. This client-centric approach offers several advantages, especially as it eliminates the need for agents, making it fully applicable to IoT environments where deploying agents is often impossible. Without relying on additional software, Aruba ensures seamless security integration for all connected devices.

  • Microsegmentation Made Simple: Aruba’s role-based access and built-in firewalls provide true microsegmentation without requiring additional agents.
  • Cost Efficiency: By offloading traffic filtering and security tasks from central firewalls to Aruba’s access points, switches, and gateways, businesses can reduce costs and optimize their existing security infrastructure.
  • Agility: With zero-touch provisioning and cloud-based management via Aruba Central, organizations can adapt quickly to changes—whether setting up new sites or modifying existing ones.
Ensuring Compliance and Continuity

Aruba's solutions also align with Zero-Trust principles by implementing least-privilege role-based access out of the box. This ensures that every connection is authenticated and only given the necessary permissions, enhancing security frameworks seamlessly.

The NIS2 Directive requires companies to enhance their cybersecurity frameworks. Aruba’s solutions are fully compliant, offering:

  • Visibility and Control: Visibility is provided through Aruba Central and optionally Axis Secure Web Gateway (SWG), allowing comprehensive network insights. Control is enforced by the network infrastructure and orchestrated seamlessly via Aruba Central and/or Clearpass, ensuring policy compliance and efficient network management.

Sustainability remains a crucial consideration for many organizations. Aruba’s infrastructure supports efficient, sustainable operations, enabling businesses to meet environmental goals while maintaining high-performance networks. Aruba solutions provide the tools necessary to safeguard business operations and meet regulatory demands without breaking the bank.
