I have Aruba hardware secured by NPS in a single site. It seems like without a distributed network it may not apply to me. It that a correct assumption?

Great question. In the past, network and security elements were provided as point products from various vendors. This was all well and nice until the rise of Cloud. The change led to a great rethink of networking and security in industry. The result was the identification of the need for an integrated set of services aligned with a significant change in the delivery of Wide Area Network (WAN) access, namely SDWAN. The result was a framework called Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). SSE is a subset of SASE focused on security.
The SSE framework includes the following elements - Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Digital Experience Management (DEM). It is delivered in an "as a service" format via the Cloud. The focus is about delivering applications whether they are in the Cloud or on-prem.

Thanks.
Can you tell me what I would need to enable SSE? Which elements of the security stack are you referring to?

Security Service Edge (SSE) is a framework to deliver elements of the security stack that were previously on-prem (remote access, proxy firewalling, data loss prevention to name a few) in a software format via the Cloud. As a result, it can run over any network type as long as there is access to the Internet. Its goal is to address the distributed nature of today's applications and employees. Both have left the 4 walls of the data center and campus/branch office. Think of it as a next generation application delivery system….
Now, to answer your question, does HPE/Aruba's SSE have an advantage over other SSE solutions when used on conjunction with Aruba APs and switches? Stay tuned. We are in the garage working on something really cool. Can't say what yet but I think you will like it!

What is needed to take advantage of SSE on an existing network with only Aruba controllers, edge switches, and APs?
