HPE Aruba has acquired Niara, a developer of User and Entity Behaviour Analytics (UEBA) market space, with the aim of further helping their customers detect and protect themselves against advanced cyber-attacks that have penetrated their perimeter defences.
Niara’s products employ machine learning and big data analytics on enterprise packet streams and log streams to discover these advanced attacks.
The Niara solution automatically establishes baseline characteristics for all users and devices across the enterprise, globally. After a baseline is established, the software actively looks for anomalous, inconsistent activities that may indicate a security threat. Investigating individual security incidents that can take up to 25 hours each via traditional manual processes can now be performed in less than a minute, in four mouse clicks, due to the power of machine learning.
By integrating Niara’s behavioural analytics technology with ClearPass Policy Manager, HPE can now offer customers a reinforced threat detection and prevention solution for network security in wired and wireless environments, as well as Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
