“Aruba’s recent introduction of new security solutions, ecosystem partnerships, and wired infrastructure products will be a key theme at ANZ Atmosphere. These developments are designed to accelerate the move to the digital workspace, while addressing the security concerns associated with the adoption of IoT initiatives. 
 
“We anticipate some healthy interest and discussion about the explosion of IoT devices connecting to enterprise networks, and why it is critical for customers to be able to identify, connect, and protect all unknown mobile and IoT devices at the edge of the network via enhanced security and threat remediation technology.”  
 
The conference will also discuss these latest global networking innovations which are aimed at helping organisations rapidly, securely and cost-effectively deploy Internet of Things (IoT) devices in wide area, enterprise and industrial areas. These solutions include:
