HPE Strengthens Cloud and Networking Security with Zero Trust and Threat-Adaptive Innovations

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is expanding its HPE Aruba Networking and HPE GreenLake cloud solutions to help enterprises modernize secure connectivity and hybrid cloud operations. Announced at RSA Conference 2025, the updates aim to blend multi-layered and zero trust security strategies to better defend against evolving cyber threats.

Enhancing Zero Trust Access and Cloud-Based Security

HPE Aruba Networking Central now delivers new cloud-based access control capabilities to accelerate zero trust network security. By treating users, devices, and applications as potential threats until verified, the solution enforces role-based policies that strengthen protection at the edge and across the cloud.

New capabilities in HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN bring adaptive DDoS defense and tighter Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) integrations. Enterprises can now dynamically adjust defenses in real time, improving resilience against distributed attacks. HPE’s enhancements also include expanded observability, with tighter integration between HPE Aruba Networking Central and HPE OpsRamp to monitor third-party devices more effectively.

Private Cloud Security That Adapts to Threats

HPE GreenLake has introduced threat-adaptive security for private cloud environments. A key feature is the new “digital circuit breaker” functionality within HPE Private Cloud Enterprise, which temporarily disconnects infrastructure from the public internet when threats are detected. This approach helps enterprises meet regulatory requirements such as the Digital Operations Resilience Act (DORA) and strengthens operational continuity during attacks.

For customers in highly regulated industries, HPE is offering air-gapped cloud management with HPE Private Cloud Enterprise. This solution provides full cloud management capabilities on-premises without any connection to external networks, supporting long-term sovereign operations without dependency on public cloud platforms.

New Cybersecurity Services for Sovereign Clouds and AI Governance

HPE is also expanding its cybersecurity services portfolio to support sovereign cloud deployments and AI-driven operations. New services provide expert guidance on integrating sovereign security solutions into enterprise risk frameworks, ensuring alignment with regulatory requirements. Additionally, HPE’s AI-focused cybersecurity services aim to enhance governance, risk management, and compliance frameworks to address emerging AI-enabled threats.

In support of unified observability, HPE announced the general availability of the integration between OpsRamp and CrowdStrike. This integration enhances real-time threat detection across enterprise environments while improving overall system performance and cyber resilience.

Advancing Secure-by-Design Initiatives

At RSA 2025, HPE highlighted progress on its Secure by Design initiatives. Across its portfolio, HPE has embedded more than 2,200 security controls into HPE GreenLake, strengthened Zero Trust frameworks, and developed solutions that align with standards such as CIS, STIG, DORA, and CISA Secure by Design pledges.

Additional advancements include AI-based network detection and response through HPE Aruba Networking, ransomware protection with HPE Cyber Resilience Vault, and new post-quantum cryptography capabilities in the HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers. These servers meet FIPS 140-3 Level 3 standards and further bolster HPE’s efforts toward future-proofed, regulatory-compliant enterprise infrastructure.
