Collaboration
Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company (NYSE: HPE) today
announced the integration of Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager with
Microsoft endpoint protection platforms to deliver significant
advances in enterprise cyberattack protection. This integration
allows ClearPass to control access to critical network resources
based on endpoint security intelligence provided by Microsoft,
reducing the risk posed by compromised network connections.
As a member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association,
an ecosystem of independent security software vendors that are
dedicated to building integrated solutions to better defend against
cyber threats, Aruba has completed integration, testing and
verification of ClearPass Policy Manager with Microsoft Endpoint
Manager, a unified management platform that includes Configuration
Manager and Microsoft Intune. ClearPass Policy Manager has also
been integrated with Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection
(ATP), a unified endpoint security platform designed to help
enterprises prevent, detect, investigate and respond to advanced
threats.
Aruba has also collaborated with Microsoft to improve the
efficiency and security of access control communications by
developing a standardized approach to support multiple
authentication methods and identity types in a single
authentication request. The solution uses the Tunneled EAP (TEAP)
protocol to combine both machine and user identities in a single
request.
“Protecting enterprises against attacks requires a holistic
approach to security based on an open approach to device and
application protection,” said Michael Tennefoss, vice president of
Strategic Partnerships at Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise
company. “Aruba’s ClearPass provides policy management on network
infrastructure from any vendor, while Microsoft Endpoint Manager
provides secure, integrated management of devices and applications
from any source. Operating in concert, ClearPass and Microsoft
Endpoint Manager address endpoint security for a very broad range
of IT, IoT, BYOD and operational technology (OT) devices and
applications used in different vertical markets.”
Moti Gindi, CVP, Microsoft Threat Protection said: “Combining
network access control with endpoint security, such as risk or
exposure scores, yields synergies for both technologies, ensuring
businesses that the right devices have access to the right network
resources. This integration allows our joint customers to simplify
their security infrastructure, and enables both solutions to
provide higher levels of security.”
ClearPass Policy Manager leverages device-level context from
Microsoft Endpoint Manager and Microsoft Defender ATP to establish,
implement and enforce policies for network and application level
access, including distributed SD-WAN locations. ClearPass enforces
a Zero Trust environment whereby IT, IoT and OT devices are blocked
from accessing the network until their identities have been
verified. ClearPass provides granular access control decisions
based on endpoint security and compliance posture from Microsoft
Endpoint Manager and Microsoft Defender ATP.
“With the rise in virtual classrooms and increased use of
collaboration learning tools, security is paramount especially when
it comes to protecting students, faculty and staff,” said David
Boos, director of Technology at Mitchell Technical Institute.
“Integrating ClearPass with Microsoft Endpoint Manager suite was a
game-changer for us in terms of simplicity and enabling us to gain
greater insight into our wireless network.”
ClearPass Policy Manager for Microsoft Endpoint Manager and
Microsoft Defender ATP are available now. For more information,
