HPE Is About To Acquire Axis Security!

Significant developments are taking place in the cyber security and cloud-based services sectors. As technology continues to evolve and businesses become more dependent on cloud-based solutions, the need for secure access to these services grows as well. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), one of the world's giant technology companies, announced that it has acquired Axis Security, a company that has recently increased its growth and is renowned for its expertise in zero trust access solutions. Following this acquisition, HPE will be able to offer customers a unified and enhanced Secure Access Service Edge (SASE).

What is SASE and How It Works

SASE is a concept that the cybersecurity industry is relatively new to hearing and stands for Secure Access Service Edge. To put it simply, we can talk about SASE as a cloud-based architecture that creates a revolutionary solution by combining network security and network access services. The security technologies that SASE combines in a single cloud base are SD-WAN, firewall, secure web gateway and zero trust network access. The purpose of SASE is to ensure data protection and security while providing secure access to applications and data from any device, location or network.

The acquisition of Axis Security by HPE is a major move in the cybersecurity industry. What makes this acquisition different is that it brings together two companies with different strengths. HPE is known for its hardware, software and services that empower enterprise IT, while Axis Security is known for its innovative zero trust access solution designed to provide secure access to enterprise applications and data.

The solution is built around the "never trust, always verify" principle. This means that access is granted only to authenticated users and devices, and all traffic is monitored and protected in real time against potential threats.

HPE to Combine Axis Security's Atmos with Aruba SASE

HPE's ultimate plan is to integrate Atmos, an SSE offering from Axis Security, with AI-based network automation into Ariba to achieve an advanced edge-to-cloud networking platform.

HPE can take advantage of Axis Security's zero trust access solution by integrating it into the SASE offering. By being able to provide its customers with a more comprehensive and secure solution, HPE will ensure that customers feel secure at all times. HPE customers will enjoy secure access to applications and data wherever they are, while taking advantage of advanced security features such as threat detection, anti-malware and data encryption.

“The convergence of Aruba and Axis Security solutions will transform edge-to-cloud connectivity with a comprehensive SASE solution that provides businesses with the highest level of security for both IoT devices and access by all users in geographically distributed locations,” said Phil Mottram, vice president and general manager, HPE.

The Future of Cybersecurity with SASE and Zero Trust Access

It is already being discussed that the acquisition of Axis Security by HPE is a step that could change the future of cybersecurity. This merger is expected to lead to a more comprehensive SASE offering that can meet a wider range of security and networking needs. HPE's global reach and expertise in infrastructure enables Axis Security to scale SASE solutions to a wider audience, while Axis Security's software-defined perimeter (SDP) technology will enhance HPE's zero-trust security capabilities.

The acquisition plan shows that companies are starting to take SASE seriously and are investing in technology to provide a more secure and flexible solution. It also shows that companies are starting to realize the importance of zero trust access and are looking for ways to incorporate it into their solutions.

Companies are taking cybersecurity more and more seriously and are investing in solutions that provide comprehensive protection against a wide variety of threats. With the integration of Axis Security's zero trust access solution into its SASE offering, HPE is well positioned to deliver a world-class cybersecurity solution that will ensure its customers are protected and secured.
