The expansion builds upon Bethesda Health Group’s existing
wired, wireless, and Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN)
security with a fully cloud-delivered Secure Access Service Edge
(SASE) platform that mobilizes 1,100 Bethesda caregivers across two
states and connects several thousand residents to their care teams,
families, and friends.
“Adding HPE Aruba Networking SSE to our networking
infrastructure to gain a full SASE solution is critical to securing
our cloud-first organization and meeting evolving customer
expectations,” said Mike Keller, Director of Technology for
134-year-old Bethesda. “Many of the seniors we serve today have
relied upon computing technologies at work and in their personal
lives. They value cybersecurity protections and expect us to
safeguard their personal data – regardless of where it resides,
while ensuring that staff can rapidly and securely access assets
for delivering exceptional care.”
Collaborating with trusted partner InterVision, Bethesda started
the journey by first migrating away from its incumbent Cisco
networking infrastructure to adopt HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect
SD-WAN. This provided Bethesda with a secure, centrally-managed,
high-performance WAN that reduces costs and dependencies on legacy
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) telecommunications
connections. “In addition to obtaining technological advances from
EdgeConnect, eliminating MPLS saved us six figures over the life of
the contract,” Keller said.
Subsequently, the organization standardized on market-leading
HPE Aruba Networking Wi-Fi access points (APs) for wireless
connectivity, and HPE Aruba Networking’s CX Series Switches for
wired networking. The organization also adopted HPE Aruba
Networking Central, for AI-powered management, along with HPE Aruba
Networking ClearPass, for role-based network access control (NAC)
of wired and wireless endpoints and IoT solutions.
With the most recent addition of HPE Aruba Networking SSE,
Bethesda is now able to provide their users with fast, secure
access to private and externally managed applications and improve
IT staff visibility into access events. Added capabilities include
zero trust network access (ZTNA), secure web gateway (SWG), and
cloud access security broker (CASB)—all consolidated into a single,
easy-to-use cloud service that automatically adapts policies based
on changes in user, device, and application context.
“No matter which application our staff needs to access, whether
it’s the EHR, HRIS, or billing, deploying HPE Aruba Networking SSE
enables us to grant access only to the exact applications a staff
member needs, unlike our legacy VPN that introduced risk by
providing access to every application on our network,” said Keller.
“Further, because HPE Aruba Networking SSE is an open platform, we
can use our existing identity access management (IAM) system,
making everything seamless for our staff because they don’t need to
learn something new or take multiple steps—the security is just
there.”
Bethesda is excited about the benefits of standardizing on a
complete, unified networking and security solution from HPE Aruba
Networking. “We’ve gained comprehensive networking infrastructure
that is cost-effective to own, easy to maintain, and scalable for
meeting our future needs,” said Keller. “In short, it enables us to
administrate a large footprint that is distributed across state
lines with a lean IT staff—all without breaking the bank.”
HPE Aruba Networking SSE is the further development of Axis
Security’s cloud-based SSE platform acquired by HPE earlier in
2023. This expands the capabilities of HPE Aruba Networking’s
edge-to-cloud security portfolio, building on HPE Aruba
Networking’s existing EdgeConnect secure SD-WAN and next-generation
firewall capabilities. The combination provides a complete
edge-to-cloud unified SASE solution, ensuring Zero Trust security
controls can be applied to people and devices, no matter where they
connect, whether on campus, at a branch, in a home, or on the
road.
