"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.

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
