Traditional network monitoring systems can see how your network is performing from the inside. But they can’t see how end-users are experiencing mission-critical business applications—which are often in the cloud—and can be affected by various factors. Aruba UXI solves this problem by being a real user on your network and using those applications and services.

To accelerate digital transformation, work-from-anywhere enterprises require the most modern and secure network possible, allowing them to deliver optimal business outcomes.

OK, we admit it – an actual SCIF at home is probably a pretty rare thing. But what about access to SBU or SECRET level systems from home? During the pandemic, a number of US Government organizations have been exploring this idea as a way to keep their people safe while still achieving their missions. Join Aruba experts Jon Green and Ken Rich for a discussion around policies, technologies, and architectures that make teleworking a possibility for workers in high-security environments. We’ll cover Commercial Solutions for Classified along with specific Aruba solutions designed for remote working, and we’ll leave plenty of time for your questions.

In this session, we’ll explore the intersection of Wi-Fi and cellular networks to learn how Wi-Fi 6 and 5G offer complementary paths to satisfy demanding new networking requirements. We’ll examine the commercial forces driving mobile operators to develop 5G networks, the technological building blocks at their disposal, and the comparative advantages and constraints of Wi-Fi 6 and the 5G New Radio in relation to specific use cases. Participants will learn how technology decisions made today will shape future commercial relationships between locally-managed, private networks and global service providers, take away a framework for understanding the implications of 5G for private networking needs, and evaluate the prospects for enterprise Wi-Fi to become an on-ramp to 5G networks and services.

Our customers often want to know if our networking solutions are “secure.” What does it mean to be secure, and how do we achieve it? The pillars of network security include encryption (protecting confidentiality), authentication (ensuring the right people have access), and integrity (ensuring data hasn’t been tampered with). Join Dan Harkins and Jon Green to learn about these topics that are sure to make you a hit at your next cocktail party.

On April 23, the United States FCC voted unanimously to open the 6 GHz band for use by Wi-Fi and other unlicensed broadband radio systems. This new Order – which adds an additional 1,200 MHz for Wi-Fi – is the single most consequential FCC decision in at least a generation and in some ways eclipses the original 1997 decision opening the 5 GHz U-NII bands. Chuck will review the scope of the decision, the concurrent Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, and preview likely developments in this band in 2021 and beyond.

Aruba’s networking solutions provide a more secure Wi-Fi environment that is different from any other vendor in the market today.

The world is shifting from traditional data centers to “centers of data”. Enterprise data centers are being augmented by distributed and virtualized data centers, extending out toward where data is processed at an increasing number of edge data centers.

Billions of everyday consumer and enterprise devices use radio to communicate. It is important for security professionals to understand where these devices are and create a geofence boundary to limit where they are allow to go or not allow to be. In high-security, you can set up an automated enforcement when your client device crosses the RF geofence boundary and gets a restricted access policy.

Join us for Aruba Central and the Magic of AIOps as Aruba experts share how built in AI helps with Day 0 to Day N management tasks and frees you up to do the impossible.

Aruba recently announced a strategic partnership with Celona to bring CBRS private LTE/5G networks to the enterprise.

The US Government has recognized that network security challenges have significantly increased as users have become more decentralized, new IoT devices have flooded the network and attacks have become more sophisticated and persistent. Now more than ever, modern network security must accommodate an ever-changing, diverse set of users and devices, as well as much more potent threats targeting previously “trusted” parts of the network infrastructure.

Join this session to experience how Aruba Secure Edge portfolio provides complete lifecycle management, centralized policy, and enterprise-wide visibility enabling IT teams to deliver the corporate office experience to users—wherever they are, on any device or application—in the office, at home, at temporary locations, or on the road.

Don’t let your network hold you back. Move to a network that conforms to your business, not one that force fits applications to comply with legacy network constraints.

The rapid shift to telework and associated digital transformation brought on by the pandemic has accelerated cloud adoption across the US Federal Government. In January 2022, Aruba Central became the only cloud-native network management system to achieve FedRAMP Authorization. Now the recognized cloud benefits of greater efficiency, accessibility, and rapid innovation can be extended with confidence to include cloud-managed networks to support civilian and military operations. In this session, we will discuss how Federal organizations can take advantage of a powerful combination of network management, with unified infrastructure, AIOps and edge-to-cloud security, combined with certified cloud security. You will also have the opportunity to see a demo of the Aruba Central in action.

As the perimeter evolves, more devices are being added--often devices that can't be logged, updated or monitored. This webcast will examine critical techniques to addressing this issue, including the role of baselining, integrating and automating response, and defending against attacks more quickly. You will also learn ​how recent attacks play into the fluid perimeter and specific action items for better protection.

Some cyberattacks are designed for the quick hit and a quick buck – think ransomware. Others are designed to emphasize stealth, sitting quietly and leaking confidential data while it burrows through the network, often using legitimate credentials of regular users and privileged accounts. Watch this webcast to explore how you can gain the upper hand over these attacks by combining granular access control with automated attack detection.
