A customer has an Aruba Mobile First Network. Which need indicates that the customer could be a good prospect for an additional Aruba security solution?

Question

Options

• Athe need to protect servers against malware at the silicon level
• Bthe need to track meeting room utilization
• Cthe need to encrypt big data and archived data
• Dthe need to secure guest and BYOD access

• A
  5% (3)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  8% (5)
• D
  85% (50)

Explanation

Why D is correct: Aruba specializes in network access control and wireless security, making guest and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) access management a natural extension of their Mobile First Network portfolio - solutions like Aruba ClearPass directly address onboarding, authentication, and policy enforcement for untrusted devices.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (silicon-level malware protection) points to hardware security vendors like AMD/Intel or endpoint solutions (e.g., CrowdStrike), not Aruba's domain.
• B (meeting room utilization) is a facilities/IoT analytics problem, not a security need - and while Aruba has location services, this isn't a security solution upsell.
• C (encrypting big data/archived data) is a data-at-rest encryption concern handled by storage or DLP vendors, outside Aruba's core competency.

Memory tip: Think "Aruba = wireless/mobile network security." Whenever you see BYOD, guest access, or network access control (NAC) in the choices, that's the Aruba sweet spot - their ClearPass product is purpose-built for exactly this problem.
