Session description

Speaker: Axel Simon

Cyberattacks move at machine speed, while security and network teams face expanding infrastructures, skills shortages, and an overwhelming volume of alerts. Traditional reactive operations are reaching their limits. What if the network did more than transport data and became an active defender?

In this 15-minute session, we show how HPE Networking combines AI-native security with the Self-Driving Network. The network becomes a sensor and enforcement point from edge to cloud. High-quality telemetry, AI-driven analytics, and autonomous actions help identify anomalies early, isolate root causes faster, and initiate appropriate protection. Rather than simply generating more alerts, the network can shorten the path from detection and decision to response.
