Aryaka announced the winter '25 release of its Aryaka Unified SASE as a Service solution. 

This update introduces AI>Observe to the platform, providing AI-powered observability for advanced threat detection, prevention, and analytics to drive actionable security outcomes. The product and services update also delivers customer and partner friendly "as-a-service" packaging, dramatically simplifying resale, purchase and ownership of Aryaka offerings. Finally, the winter '25 release debuts dynamic Points of Presence (PoPs), matching customer's connectivity needs more flexibly and agilely while supporting enhanced regulatory compliance.

"With the winter '25 update, Aryaka has continued to prioritize 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 organizations 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 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 proactively see and understand security incidents and performance issues. The solution leverages hundreds of machine learning models to rapidly extract detections and identify anomalous network behavior. Using the MyAryaka's unified dashboard, enterprises can monitor and analyze network traffic and the management of network and security policies, turning data into immediate results.

Aryaka AI>Observe's key benefits include:

• Comprehensive Threat Visibility: By combining Aryaka's real-time network traffic data with AI-driven threat analytics, organizations 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 solution, enabling faster incident response.
• Zero-Touch Automation: The AI>Observe solution 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 take advantage of the out of the box integration with AI>Observe when purchasing and implementing additional services from technology partner Sequretek, including:

• 24/7 Managed security operations center (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.   

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   

Every tier is delivered as a service and OPEX-only. This flexibility allows Aryaka to meet enterprises wherever they are on their secure networking journey.

"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 markets 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."  

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 organizations 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 any location needed to meet a customer's local data residency and sovereignty laws, such as GDPR in the EU.

The winter '25 release demonstrates Aryaka's continuing commitment to AI innovation. It also shows how Aryaka's Unified SASE as a Service is becoming more powerful, agile, and simpler to deploy with every update.
