Arista Enables Universal Zero Trust Networking
Arista provides the zero trust network underlay for modern security solutions
Organizations today are dealing with a complex attack surface, including the use of Internet connected operational technology, a plethora of new applications, and a wide open network where the traditional approach of a perimeter to keep the “bad stuff” out is no longer relevant.
Arista's Zero Trust platform, built on the foundation of Arista EOS and CloudVision, offers network access control, observability, segmentation, threat detection and response, as well as encryption solutions.
What If Security Is Built Into The Switch?
Arista’s switches have threat detection capabilities built in which provides an effective compensating control especially in hard to reach areas such as every network segment in a branch or campus environment, factory floors and other IoT/OT environments.

Arista NDR has exceeded our expectations and empowered us to secure our connected workplace more effectively and autonomously than ever. - Rich Noguera, Fmr. CISO, Gap Inc.
Arista NDR + MISA Integration
Attackers today look to infiltrate your network without your knowledge. Traditional security tools aren’t sufficient to monitor for threats that avoid malware and abuse unmanaged devices such as IoT. Security analysts need better visibility across wired, wireless, and cloud infrastructure to make intelligent risk management decisions. Find out how Microsoft's cloud-native SIEM solution and Arista Networks advanced NDR platform use artificial intelligence and human expertise to solve the problem in this e-book:
Arista Security Enables Enterprises To Build Secure, Connected Workspaces
Arista Networks Cognitive campus switches deliver effective detection and response to threats across campuses without the need for additional hardware deployments or security expertise.
As part of its CloudVision platform, Arista introduces "Universal Network Observability," a novel network observability solution. Arista CloudVision UNO (CV UNO) automates network, system, and application/workload visibility with AI-driven proactive analysis, reducing human error, accelerating issue resolution, and identifying root causes of network events.
This cutting-edge platform offers unmatched insight into application performance across multiple data centers. Seamlessly integrating application visibility with CloudVision's robust network telemetry base empowers you with an enhanced level of control and understanding.
Available as a premium feature set on Arista CloudVision as-a-Service (CVaaS), CV UNO leverages one or more CV UNO Sensor VMs, strategically deployed on-premises to collect, normalize, and meticulously curate flow/SNMP data from diverse sources such as physical/virtual compute and third-party network devices.

CASE STUDY
Contractor Using Security Cameras to Spy
Multiple cameras were affected by malicious activity, including those in data centers and secure facilities for managing critical infrastructure. The team found that nearly all of their cameras were poorly configured, allowing attackers easy access. Identifying this part of the customer's attack surface was essential because they are a long-term nation-state target.
What would typically be a lengthy detection and investigation process, is completed in minutes with Arista NDR.You can learn more about how Arista NDR identified this threat by downloading the case study.
