Superloop's CyberHound Unified Threat Management (UTM) solution for K12 schools is extended with its next generation Intrusion Prevention System integrated with Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager for seamless network protection, extending the partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE).
Superloop's security division, the leading innovator of sophisticated K12 learning enablement and cybersecurity solutions, collaborated with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to build its solutions on HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 servers and extend its cybersecurity features with Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager for schools to seamlessly secure their networks from threat vectors rapidly increasing from BYO Devices and malicious threats.
By collaborating with HPE and its OEM program, security innovator Superloop delivers a high performance and scalable CyberHound cybersecurity appliance to K12 schools. Using the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 servers, the solution automatically detects and disables threats via integration with ClearPass Policy Manager, and utilizes signature-based rules to identify potentially unsafe student activity, while ensuring unimpeded and optimized access to valuable online learning tools and resources to enhance educational opportunities.
Superloop's latest innovation includes an upgrade of its CyberHound IPS/IDS engine with hyperscale architecture designed for high throughput school networks of the future. The new services include online and offline threat detection and protection, including Zero Day threat identification using anomaly and signature-based rules. Integration with ClearPass Policy Manager helps security teams respond to attacks before they do damage.
The Aruba 360 Security Exchange Program which is part of the HPE OEM program, is an open, multi-vendor framework that enabled Superloop to integrate its latest CyberHound IPS technology with ClearPass Policy Manager by Aruba, an HPE company, to reduce security risk for schools with numerous personal and BYO devices on their networks. By integrating its security software with ClearPass Policy Manager, the CyberHound technology can automatically signal ClearPass to initiate a range of responses from re-authentication to bandwidth reduction to quarantining an infected device the instant it's detected and prevent the spread of malware across the network.
