HPE provides solutions to enhance data security at various stages, including data at rest, data in motion, and data in execution. Specifically for data in motion, HPE partners with Pensando to offer a solution that includes a robust HPE ProLiant server and a Pensando card. This solution focuses on securing data as it is transferred across networks, addressing vulnerabilities that arise from traditional centralized data center approaches.

The HPE and Pensando solution enhances network security by providing secure, high-speed protection for east-west traffic, which is critical as most network interactions now occur within data centers. It utilizes microsegmentation to isolate individual virtual machines or containers, ensuring that even if one is compromised, the others remain secure. Additionally, it offers centralized management of security policies, which simplifies policy enforcement and monitoring.

The HPE solution supports IPSec for encrypting data in motion between servers, which helps protect sensitive information from unauthorized access. This encryption is automated and utilizes asymmetric keys for secure communication. The solution offloads encryption tasks from server CPUs, allowing them to focus on business operations without performance degradation. It also enables monitoring of both encrypted and unencrypted data, facilitating easier diagnosis of data issues.
