Aryaka, the SASE (secure access service edge) service provider, has added AI functionality, and fully adopted as-a-service delivery and pricing to its offer.
The new AI>Observe feature provides AI-powered observability for advanced threat detection, prevention, and analytics. The update also delivers customer and “partner friendly” as-a-service packaging, “simplifying resale, purchase and ownership” of offerings, the provider said.
Thirdly, Aryaka has added dynamic points of presence (PoPs) to meet customers’ connectivity and regulatory compliance needs.
“With our winter ’25 update, we have continued to prioritise AI in our Unified SASE as a Service” offering, said Shailesh Shukla, chief executive officer at Aryaka. “AI>Observe brings a new level of visibility, detection and analysis to network security risk, allowing organisations to safely and confidently observe both traditional apps and AI workloads in an increasingly risky cybersecurity environment.”
Aryaka AI>Observe, powered by technology partner Sequretek, offers customers AI-driven visibility and actionable security insights into their network traffic and activity. With AI>Observe, enterprises can monitor security incidents and performance issues.
The solution leverages hundreds of machine learning models for rapid threat detection and identification of anomalous network behaviour. Using the MyAryaka unified dashboard, enterprises can monitor and analyse network traffic and the management of network and security policies.
And new pricing and packaging is designed to make services “easier to adopt, deploy and grow”, creating a “flexible ownership experience” that accommodates distributed enterprises in hybrid, multi-cloud, and AI environments.
Aryaka is now offering three as-a-service plans:
-Aryaka SD-WAN for global connectivity and application performance
-Aryaka Unified SASE for customers ready to fully converge their networking and security
-Aryaka Advanced Security for customers interested in additional security capabilities
“This new simplified approach to packaging is easier to understand, explain, and quote, as well as being better aligned with customer needs,” said Matt Hayes, president of Aryaka partner Integrity Communications Services. “This change will help us to sell faster, and demonstrates that Aryaka has listened to the market’s feedback.”
Also, Aryaka has added dynamic PoPs to its service delivery capabilities. These PoP instances can be deployed on demand by Aryaka in any AWS or GCP cloud region, giving organisations global network reach wherever they need it.
In addition to accelerating agility, dynamic PoPs also support compliance efforts. With AWS and GCP’s global coverage, Aryaka can deploy on-demand PoPs at any location needed to meet a customer’s local data residency and sovereignty laws, such as GDPR.
