HPE OEM Helps Rheinmetall Transforms Network Security, Stopping Cyberattacks In Real Time

[Nabanita1]

Data networks were originally designed for one purpose: transmitting information—files, voice, video, commands, and others. Security must be added, and in large, complex global networks, this can be difficult to do effectively. That’s where Rheinmetall has a solution.

The zero-trust Rheinmetall Security Appliance stands like a sentry in the middle of an enterprise network, only allowing  traffic to pass if it is explicitly permitted by policy. Otherwise, the traffic is blocked. To do this without slowing down legitimate traffic, the appliances use micro-segmentation in concert with user and application awareness to instantly determine what traffic can pass.

Rheinmetall developed its security solution for one of the company’s key customers, Siemens, and is now commercializing the Rheinmetall Security Appliance. Built on HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 servers, the solution performs fine-grained data filtering and processing on traffic passing between millions of endpoints.  Rheinmetall uses Aruba ClearPass to automatically detect and classify all the network endpoints, and then applies its proprietary security software to enforce permissions, allowing or  denying  access based on user roles and other parameters.

According to Ulf Schröter, head of strategy and product for Rheinmetall, “Rheinmetall is operating on the leading edge of network security technology, which is why we put our trust in HPE. As an HPE OEM partner, we can quickly acquire the server platforms needed to meet our technical requirements, with global coverage by HPE, which gives our customers high confidence working with Rheinmetall.”
