HPE Beefs Up Network Security With Niara Acquisition

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has been very busy since the separation of HP Inc. and HPE, doing spin-mergers, spin-outs and resetting for a much leaner and faster future. This never meant they wouldn't acquire companies; in fact, they have indicated a few areas where this made sense, one of them being edge security. Two weeks ago, HPE announced their acquisition of Niara, who many consider an up-and-comer, focusing on User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA). Integrating with HPE's existing Aruba ClearPass portfolio, Niara's solutions leverage big data analytics and machine learning to help businesses better protect their enterprises against next-gen cyberattacks. In the increasingly interconnected, IoT-driven world, the need for advanced, effective security is rapidly growing.
