New EdgeConnect Advanced Security Features
Eliminate Need for Dedicated Branch Firewalls Without Compromising
Security or Connectivity
Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company (NYSE: HPE), today
announced that after rigorous evaluation, the Aruba EdgeConnect
Enterprise SD-WAN platform has received ICSA Labs Secure SD-WAN
Certification, representing the market’s first complete SD-WAN
solution to receive the distinction. ICSA Labs provides third-party
testing and certification of security and health IT products, as
well as network-connected devices, to measure product compliance,
reliability and performance for most of the world’s top technology
vendors.
“Our ICSA Labs Secure SD-WAN Certification includes rigorous
security-related testing and robust SD-WAN functionality testing to
validate that the SD-WAN product is secure and properly enforces
consistent policy for both WAN-specific functions and security
functions,” said Jack Walsh, security programs manager at ICSA
Labs. “The security testing performed in ICSA Labs’ Secure SD-WAN
Certification testing is equivalent to one of our standard ICSA
Labs Firewall Certifications. As we do in firewall testing, ICSA
Labs tests that Secure SD-WAN components are stateful, that they
are not susceptible to trivial denial of service attacks, that the
components themselves are invulnerable to known threats, and that
they each properly enforce the configured security policy.”
Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise SD-WAN provides comprehensive
security services at campus, branch, data center, and cloud
locations, including next-generation firewall, IDS/IPS, and DDoS
detection and remediation. With these new features, EdgeConnect
replaces outdated and difficult to manage physical firewalls at
branch locations while delivering consistent security for all
users, from any network location, from any device, and wherever
applications are hosted. EdgeConnect provides an enhanced and
comprehensive security offering for enterprises that want to
establish consistent, secure, and predictable experiences across
multiple locations over the WAN.
Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN, when paired with solutions like
ClearPass and Aruba Central NetConductor, provides identity- and
role-based access control and dynamic segmentation, which are
foundational to Zero Trust and a complement to SASE architecture.
EdgeConnect SD-WAN now addresses the complex security challenges
that enterprises face as they continue to migrate business
applications to the cloud and expand usage of Internet of Things
(IoT) devices. Because IoT devices can’t run a VPN client or ZTNA
agent, SASE must be complemented by a Zero Trust framework that
incorporates user and device visibility, authentication and
authorization.
“Aruba is very proud to be first in the SD-WAN market to attain
ICSA Labs Secure SD-WAN Certification,” said Damon Ennis, vice
president of Engineering at Aruba. “This provides customers with
well-recognized and respected third party validation of the
comprehensiveness of our native EdgeConnect Enterprise advanced
SD-WAN and security capabilities that connect and protect the
network, from edge to cloud, across the WAN. These new features
enhance our comprehensive security offerings, giving our customers
flexibility and confidence when implementing security controls at
the branch and across the WAN as part of network and security
transformation on their journey to SASE.”
