New HPE Trusted Supply Chain
initiative launched today to expand HPE’s supply chain offerings
and advance end-to-end security with U.S. factory-made servers that
feature hardened data protection during manufacturing
process
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) today announced it is
delivering the highest level of security1 for a growing number of
U.S. federal and public sector customers that prefer U.S. sourced
products with verifiable cyber assurance by expanding and further
securing its supply chain. HPE is the only major server
manufacturer to produce made-in-USA industry-standard servers.2 The
new servers include advanced security features that are built by
vetted HPE employees in highly secure U.S. facilities as part of
the HPE Trusted Supply Chain initiative launched today.
The new HPE ProLiant DL380T server is shipping today to U.S.
customers as the first industry-standard server to be produced
through the HPE Trusted Supply Chain process, which HPE plans to
expand to the rest of its portfolio in 2021.
HPE Expands Industry-leading Security Capabilities from the
Edge-to-Cloud
HPE is the world’s leading supplier for trusted computing by
being the first vendor to embed silicon-based security into its
industry-standard servers. Its exclusive silicon root of trust
technology runs in over two million servers globally today and has
formed the foundation for HPE’s vision for securing the enterprise
to deliver experiences from the edge-to-cloud, platform
as-a-Service.
HPE also delivers the industry’s most advanced, embedded network
security with Aruba’s high-performing, highly reliable and secure
wired and wireless network infrastructure solutions. Additionally,
HPE’s recent acquisition of Scytale further extends zero trust
capabilities by standardizing and accelerating service
authentication across cloud, container, and on-premises
infrastructures.
“Customers turn to HPE to accelerate innovation and power any
application need while gaining data protection throughout the
lifecycle,” said John Grosso, vice president of Global Operations
Engineering, Supply Chain, at HPE. “With the new HPE Trusted Supply
Chain, we are furthering our commitment to deliver the highest
level of security in all of our server products by diversifying our
supply base with U.S. sourcing and applying stronger security at
the factory floor. We are ensuring that our customers will have
full visibility and cyber assurance of their servers to focus
resources on deploying their new solutions and optimizing their IT
experience.”
Responding to Customer Demand for U.S. Sourced and Secure
Servers
The HPE Trusted Supply Chain is another step forward in HPE’s
ongoing mission to provide customers with the highest level of
cyber assurance to ensure they receive verifiably authentic and
uncompromised products and solutions by further strengthening
security from the time servers are manufactured to prevent
tampering or compromised products.
The HPE Trusted Supply Chain supports U.S. customers across
federal, public sector, banking and financial services, and
healthcare organizations that require highly secure products
sourced in the U.S. It also addresses customer demands for an
additional supply base to increase resiliency and identify and
reduce risk in the midst of COVID-19 that has impacted supply
chains globally.
New HPE servers that are part of the HPE Trusted Supply Chain
will offer the most comprehensive, end-to-end data protection by
featuring a pre-installed layer of hardened security before the
server is shipped to the customer.
Extending End-to-End Security for Entire Product
Lifecycle
HPE further extends its security capabilities in a server from
distribution and shipping, through its complete lifecycle while it
is still active. The new features are built on top of the
HPE-exclusive, silicon root of trust security technology, which has
been recognized for the ability to reduce risk by insurers in the
new Cyber Catalyst program from Marsh Insurance. Hardened security
features activated during the manufacturing process will offer the
following benefits:
- Prevent booting of any compromised operating system (OS)
by using new hardening to connect the server firmware security to
the operating system by activating the UEFI secure boot
- Reduce attack surface by placing servers in high
security mode to verify user authenticity, ensuring that more than
four million lines of firmware code is valid and uncompromised
- Prevent tampering of server firmware and hardware using
server configuration lock to verify unauthorized addition of
options (NICS, drives) or malicious activity by capturing the
inventory or a “picture” of the server, its hardware and firmware
at the factory to provide protection throughout the supply chain
process
- Alert customers with embedded alarm and physical lock if
the server has been opened during the supply chain process when an
intrusion detection latch, inserted on the server chassis,
registers unauthorized opening even if the power is off
Securing the Human Factor
HPE will also assign its employees, with verified background and
security checks, to build products produced through the HPE Trusted
Supply Chain that adheres to the strictest sourcing, inspection and
traceability standards.
Availability
In 2021, HPE plans to expand production through the HPE Trusted
Supply Chain to include its other servers and systems. HPE will
make additional made-in-Europe choices available for European
customers in 2021.
All new HPE servers produced through the HPE Trusted Supply
Chain will be offered as-a-Service through HPE GreenLake for a
highly secure cloud experience.
HPE GreenLake offers customers with subscription-based, agile
and elastic capabilities while keeping their data on-premises for
security, data sovereignty, compliance, visibility, and cost
controls.
