Case Study: Hato Hone St John achieves secure, streamlined network access and stronger data protection with HPE Aruba Networking

Hato Hone St John streamlines network access to accelerate digital working across New Zealand

Hato Hone St John is New Zealand’s major charitable ambulance and community-first-response organization, with 4,000 staff, 7,000 volunteers, 230 stations and 600,000 emergency calls a year. As its workforce and services have become increasingly digital and distributed, the organization faced growing cybersecurity risks and complexity in managing who and what could access sensitive healthcare applications and patient data across home, field and partner environments.

To address this, Hato Hone St John adopted HPE Aruba Networking SSE ZTNA—implemented with partner Lexel Systems—to unify access controls, inspection and policy enforcement on a single cloud-delivered platform. The rollout delivered granular visibility and audit trails, reduced vendor and hardware sprawl, lowered support and lifecycle costs, and strengthened data security and consistent access policies so staff and partners can securely and efficiently access the applications they need.
