Winter ‘25 release also adds simplified packaging to accelerate adoption and dynamic PoPs for customer agility
Aryaka, the Unified SASE as a Service provider, added AI>Observe to the platform, providing 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 Aryaka offerings. Thirdly, Aryaka has added dynamic PoPs to meet customers’ connectivity and regulatory compliance needs.
“With the winter ’25 update, Aryaka has continued to prioritise AI in our Unified SASE as a Service,” said Shailesh Shukla, chief executive officer at Aryaka. “Aryaka’s AI>Observe solution 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.”
AI>Observe delivers AI-powered network visibility and actionable insights
Aryaka AI>Observe, powered by technology partner Sequretek, offers Aryaka Unified SASE as a Service customers AI-driven visibility and actionable security insights into their network traffic and activity. With AI>Observe, available now for early access, 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.
Aryaka AI>Observe’s key benefits include:
• Comprehensive threat visibility: By combining Aryaka’s real-time network traffic data with AI-driven threat analytics, organisations gain a deeper understanding of potential threats across their networks.
• Proactive threat and anomaly detection: Anomalies detected in Aryaka’s network traffic patterns trigger real-time alerts within AI>Observe, enabling faster incident response.
• Zero-touch automation: AI>Observe enables optional automated threat mitigation, including isolating compromised devices, blocking malicious traffic, and adapting network policies on the fly.
Aryaka AI>Observe customers can also purchase additional services from technology partner Sequretek including:
• 24/7 managed security operations centre (SOC) monitoring, detection, and remediation services for continuous protection.
• Security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) integration for automated response to reduce manual intervention and enhance efficiency.
Simplified “as-a-service” pricing to accelerate adoption
Aryaka has also introduced new pricing and packaging to make their services easier to adopt, deploy, and grow, creating a flexible ownership experience that accommodates distributed enterprises in the hybrid, multi-cloud, AI economy.
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 more faster and demonstrates that Aryaka has listened to the market’s feedback. We could not be more thrilled with this and with the innovations like AI>Observe, which Aryaka continues to rapidly deliver to the market.”
Dynamic PoPs enhance customer agility and compliance
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 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 comprehensive 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 in the EU.
Anand Naik, co-founder and CEO of Sequretek said: “Our partnership with Aryaka represents a breakthrough integration of Sequretek’s AI-driven security intelligence with Aryaka’s network data to rapidly deliver detections and insights to AI>Observe customers. This partnership is strategic to us to extend the value of our investment in security AI and analytics to more organisations worldwide.”
Roy Chua, founder and principal analyst at AvidThink said: “Aryaka’s latest streamlined as-a-service approach, with flexible consumption models and dynamic PoP deployment, gives organisations the adaptability they need while reducing the complexity typically associated with secure networking initiatives. Further, the launch of their AI>Observe capability represents an advancement in improving their comprehensive network visibility and security.”
Scott Raynovich, founder and principal analyst at Futuriom said: “Aryaka understands that to secure your data, you need to secure the network. That means having control and insights of both the network transport and the security stack. Aryaka’s new AI>Observe provides AI-powered observability to make secure networking more transparent and secure than ever before, giving enterprises a unified secure network with peace of mind in how their valuable data is connected.”
