The correct answer isAbecause Aruba Networking solutions such asClearPass Device InsightandAruba Central Client Insightsare designed to discover, classify, and monitor IoT devices with high confidence. Once identified, Aruba solutions applyrole-based and least-privilege access policiesautomatically, closing security gaps caused by unmanaged or unknown IoT devices. This is a critical business outcome for organizations that need to secure IoT without adding complexity.
Relevant extracts from official HPE Aruba Networking documentation:
“Aruba solutions provide full-spectrum visibility to automatically identify and classify IoT devices using AI/ML-based fingerprinting.”
“ClearPass Device Insight integrates with Aruba Central to deliver high-confidence device identification and policy recommendations for secure access.”
“Dynamic Segmentation enforces consistent, least-privilege policies for IoT, BYOD, and corporate devices, reducing risk without increasing operational complexity.”
“By automating IoT device discovery and access policy enforcement, Aruba simplifies secure IoT adoption at scale.”
Why the other options are incorrect:
BFabric Composer is a data center automation tool, not designed for IoT device segmentation or policy enforcement at the edge.
CAruba does not require IoT endpoint agents; most IoT devices cannot support agents, so Aruba uses agentless profiling and network-based enforcement.
DAruba does not market ICSA Labs certification for IoT inventory management—this is not part of its official solution positioning.
