Aruba recently announced that its ClearPass family of identity-based access control security solutions has been recognized for its ability to scale back risk by insurers within the Cyber CatalystSM program created by Marsh, a worldwide leader in insurance broking and risk management. Cyber Catalyst by MarshSM may be a cybersecurity evaluation program during which participating insurers independently evaluate cybersecurity products and solutions to spot people who they believe have the power to scale back 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 during a row that Aruba security solutions are recognized. Now, with both ClearPass and PEF having received the Cyber Catalyst designation, customers have an integrated identity-based network access control solution that’s the inspiration for both Zero Trust and Security Access Service Edge (SASE) frameworks.
Products that receive the Cyber Catalyst designation undergo a rigorous, multi-stage evaluation process during which each of the participating insurers assess the cybersecurity solutions’ ability to scale back cyber risk, while meeting key practical considerations like simple deployment and ongoing management requirements.
A majority voted to designate Aruba ClearPass as a Cyber Catalyst solution for its ability to supply full-spectrum visibility, combined with role- and device-based secure network access control for IoT, BYOD, corporate devices, also as employees, contractors and guests. Whether deployed alone or utilized in conjunction with Aruba PEF, ClearPass helps customers adopt a Zero Trust posture to mitigate the risks related to the explosive growth in attacks targeting IoT devices and users connecting to the network. This approach also can support organizations who are looking to implement a SASE approach to protecting its operations.
