HPE Aruba Networking Unified SASE

Deliver zero trust and the best user experience from edge to cloud with an AI-powered SASE platform unifying secure SD-WAN, SSE, and cloud-native NAC.

A converged SD-WAN and Security Service Edge (SSE) platform delivering zero trust from edge to cloud in a single console. Rolling out later in 2026.

Unified SASE

Connect and secure the modern workplace

Unified SASE combines the two technology sets—SD-WAN and SSE—into a single-vendor solution that allows businesses to achieve even greater simplicity, operational efficiencies, and cost savings.

Deliver optimized, secure experiences in branch offices

Reduce MPLS dependency. Eliminate the need to backhaul SaaS traffic to the data center. And leverage a built-in next-generation firewall with IDS/IPS and adaptive DDoS protection to replace branch firewalls.

Enforce zero trust from edge to cloud

Apply universal ZTNA principles consistently across all devices, whether remote or on premises, through seamless integration of a unified SASE solution with advanced NAC capabilities. Provide deep visibility on all devices, including IoT, and fine-grained segmentation.

Protect against threats and secure SaaS apps

Protect all endpoints against intrusions, ransomware, malware, and phishing. Get visibility and control over SaaS applications while preventing data loss. Centrally manage all security policies through a single policy engine.

Zero Trust

FAQs

HPE Aruba Networking unified SASE blends SD-WAN for advanced routing/branch protection with SSE for secure access via integrated ZTNA, SWG, CASB, and DLP. SD-WAN offers tunnel bonding, multi-cloud networking, WAN optimization, and a next-gen firewall. SSE provides agent-based and agentless ZTNA with a unified policy engine. When paired with HPE Aruba Networking Central, it applies zero trust principles to all users and devices—managed or unmanaged—using role-based controls and AI profiling.

Our solution unifies networking and security, ensuring consistent edge-to-cloud protection and performance. Users get faster, more secure access to cloud and SaaS applications through intelligent traffic steering and a comprehensive portfolio of cloud-delivered security solutions. Combined with HPE Aruba Networking Central NAC, it offers AI-powered observability to identify and authenticate network devices, enforcing zero trust across all users and devices—including IoT.

HPE Aruba Networking unified SASE integrates seamlessly with existing IT and security ecosystems, connecting natively with cloud service providers to optimize application performance and simplify multi-cloud networking. It supports integration with multiple SSE vendors, enabling extension of current security stacks. Through HPE Aruba Networking 360 Security Exchange, customers can access an open framework connecting hundreds of third-party security and network solutions.

HPE Aruba Networking unified SASE uses AI and machine learning to enhance networking and security. Via HPE Aruba Networking Central, organizations can proactively optimize network performance, automate troubleshooting and improve user experience. It also delivers AI-powered observability for device identification and authentication—even in third-party environments. Agentic Mesh adds reasoning, orchestration, and autonomous action.

Our solution replaces complex, perimeter-based architectures with a cloud-delivered, identity-driven model. Instead of backhauling traffic to data centers, it uses first-packet identification and intelligent routing for direct, secure access to cloud and SaaS applications. Security is enforced everywhere through integrated ZTNA, SWG, CASB, and DLP services for simpler, faster, more secure architecture.

Unlike zero trust solutions that tackle protection in disconnected, siloed ways, our holistic edge-to-cloud zero trust platform integrates a single-vendor SASE solution with advanced cloud-native NAC capabilities. This enables organizations to enforce a universal ZTNA approach, with zero trust principles applied everywhere on any device, whether remote or on premises.
