For Second Consecutive Time, Leading Cyber
Insurers Recognize Aruba Security Innovations for the Ability to
Reduce Cyber Risk for Zero Trust and SASE Implementations
Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company (NYSE: HPE), today
announced that its ClearPass family of identity-based access
control security solutions has been recognized for its ability to
reduce risk by insurers in the Cyber CatalystSM program created by
Marsh, a global leader in insurance broking and risk management.
Cyber Catalyst by MarshSM is a cybersecurity evaluation program in
which participating insurers independently evaluate cybersecurity
products and solutions to identify those that they believe have the
ability to reduce cyber risk.
Developed with the goal of helping organizations make informed
decisions about cybersecurity products, the Cyber Catalyst program
enables customers that adopt designated technologies to be
considered for enhanced terms and conditions on cyber insurance
policies from participating insurers. Aruba ClearPass joins Aruba
Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF), which received the designation
in 2019, marking the second time in a row that Aruba security
solutions have been recognized. Now, with both ClearPass and PEF
having received the Cyber Catalyst designation, customers have an
integrated identity-based network access control solution that is
the foundation for both Zero Trust and Security Access Service Edge
(SASE) frameworks.
According to the Cyber Catalyst 2020 Risk Outlook report
published by Marsh, the global cost of cybercrime is estimated at
$1 trillion, with cybersecurity spending forecast to reach $230
billion in 2025.1 With all of this at stake and thousands of
products flooding the cybersecurity marketplace, organizations are
looking for clarity and guidance from a reliable source that
understands risk and the constantly-morphing risk landscape. Since
insurers are often called upon to respond to costly, catastrophic
cyber events, they possess valuable insight into how best to
protect an organization’s assets.
Products that receive the Cyber Catalyst designation undergo a
rigorous, multi-stage evaluation process in which each of the
participating insurers assess the cybersecurity solutions’ ability
to reduce cyber risk, while meeting key practical considerations
such as ease of deployment and ongoing management requirements. A
majority voted to designate Aruba ClearPass as a Cyber Catalyst
solution for its ability to provide full-spectrum visibility,
combined with role- and device-based secure network access control
for IoT, BYOD, corporate devices, as well as employees, contractors
and guests. Whether deployed alone or used in conjunction with
Aruba PEF, ClearPass helps customers adopt a Zero Trust posture to
mitigate the risks associated with the explosive growth in attacks
targeting IoT devices and users connecting to the network. This
approach can also support organizations who are looking to
implement a SASE approach to protecting its operations. To further
reduce security complexity, while strengthening enforcement
functions, ClearPass integrates with an ecosystem of 150+
third-party solutions across a broad range of security
capabilities.
“Aruba’s security-centric and Edge-focused heritage enables them
to see the world through a different lens when compared with the
view of other networking companies,” said Zeus Kerravala, principal
analyst at ZK Research. “It’s this unique, edge-to-cloud
perspective that enables Aruba to consistently develop proven,
built-in security solutions that are well-suited for the needs of
the modern enterprise, especially with the growing prevalence of
IoT and remote working, which can result in an expanded and rapidly
changing threat landscape.”
“The Cyber Catalyst designation signals that leading insurers
believe Aruba ClearPass can help reduce cyber risk, and strongly
merits consideration by organizations who seek solutions that yield
meaningful improvements in cyber risk outcomes,” said Tom Reagan,
US Cyber Practice leader at Marsh. “This class of Cyber Catalyst
solutions are designed to address the cyber risks that
organizations face today and, together with the 2019 designees,
comprise a roster of more than 30 cybersecurity products insurers
believe can be highly effective against cyber threats.”
