HPE announced new security products designed to support AI adoption, including the SRX400 series firewalls and an expanded hybrid mesh security architecture that will be available in Q2 2026.
The launch builds on HPE’s acquisition of Juniper Networks, allowing the company to embed security directly into its networking stack and offer a unified solution that rivals Cisco’s AI‑centric security offerings.
David Hughes, SVP & GM of SASE and Security for Networking, said, “In the AI era, security can no longer be bolted on or managed in isolation. As AI workloads scale across distributed sites, networking and security must be deeply integrated to reduce risk, enhance visibility, and deliver the trust enterprises require.”
Antonio Neri, President and CEO, added that the Juniper acquisition positions HPE to capture the growing AI and hybrid‑cloud market opportunity by creating an industry‑leading cloud‑native and AI‑driven IT portfolio.
In addition to the SRX400 and hybrid mesh features, HPE will release related enhancements: HPE Zerto Software 10 U9 in April, confidential computing in HPE Morpheus Software in Q3 2026, and post‑quantum cryptography in HPE iLO 7 in summer 2026.
No specific market reaction to the product launch was reported, though HPE’s Q1 FY2026 results had a slight dip after earnings, reflecting broader market conditions rather than the new security offerings.
