At the Black Hat security conference, HPE introduced innovative advancements in network security and data protection through the unveiling of its new AI-powered secure access service edge (SASE) copilot. This tool aims to assist networking teams in making quicker, more informed decisions with the help of artificial intelligence. Additionally, HPE announced a new integration hub that facilitates third-party applications’ access to HPE Zerto data, thereby enhancing operational efficiency.
As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated and prevalent, HPE recognizes the need for advanced security measures to mitigate risks, defend against attacks, and cultivate resilience across IT infrastructures. David Hughes, Senior Vice President and General Manager of SASE and Security at HPE Networking, emphasized the importance of using an AI-driven, multi-layered zero-trust security approach to empower organizations.
The SASE copilot specifically enhances HPE’s Aruba Networking EdgeConnect, providing users with AI-driven insights into network activities and identifying security gaps. According to Jeff Olson, Director of Security Product Marketing at HPE Networking, this copilot will enable teams to offload time-consuming tasks, such as troubleshooting and generating reports, thereby allowing them to concentrate on more strategic priorities. By providing real-time insights and intelligent guidance, the SASE copilot enhances both performance and security.
Further improving its security offerings, HPE introduced enhancements to its HPE Aruba Networking Central NAC. This update extends zero-trust policy enforcement not only to HPE Juniper Networking but also to third-party devices. Additionally, an integration with AppEngine was established to facilitate risk-based policy enforcement, provide greater visibility, and enable centralized control.
At the conference, HPE also announced the HPE Zerto integration hub, designed to simplify security systems and disaster recovery processes. This hub connects HPE Zerto with cybersecurity software and enterprise networking devices, enabling insightful data management, streamlined workflows, and overall data protection.
HPE Zerto serves as a crucial component in enterprise security, as it offers the capability to restore applications and virtual machines to safe recovery points shortly before an attack, thanks to its integration with the CrowdStrike Falcon platform. This collaboration aims to enhance detection of threats while enabling efficient recovery solutions, effectively helping organizations counteract breaches and minimize downtime amidst ransomware attacks and other disruptive incidents.
Alongside these advancements, HPE announced the general availability of its Alletra Storage MP X1000 data protection package, with the HPE Zerto Software integration hub set for release in the fourth quarter of 2025.
