Key partnership with Zscaler accelerates
customers’ zero trust journey
Arista Networks (NYSE: ANET), a leading provider of cloud
networking solutions, today announced an expanded zero trust
networking architecture that uses the underlying network
infrastructure to break down security silos, streamline workflows
and enable an integrated zero trust program. Through a combination
of Arista-developed technologies and strategic alliances with key
partners, this approach uses the network to compensate for
harder-to-implement zero trust controls across the domains of
devices, workloads, identity, and data.

A Standards-Based Approach to Zero Trust
Enterprise networks today range from traditional campuses and
data centers to IoT, work from anywhere, and cloud. Defending this
distributed infrastructure requires a “microperimeter” around each
critical digital asset. With this in mind, the United States
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) laid out a
Zero Trust Maturity Model with prescriptive guidance across five
foundational pillars: Identity, Devices, Networks, Applications and
Workloads, and Data.
“Arista’s suite of zero trust solutions maps tightly to the
networking pillar in the CISA model and is designed to help
organizations accelerate their journey toward zero trust maturity,”
said Rahul Kashyap, Vice President and General Manager for
Cybersecurity at Arista Networks. “Our ability to do this
friction-free via the network helps overcome roadblocks across the
other domains of identity, devices, workload, and data.”
Building Blocks of the Arista Zero Trust Architecture
The Arista zero trust architecture uses the underlying network
infrastructure from switches to WAN routers to deliver key security
capabilities while integrating seamlessly with the organization’s
existing security program and tools. The key components of this
integrated security solution are:
- Arista CloudVision AGNI greatly simplifies the secure
onboarding and troubleshooting for users and devices, as well as
ongoing posture analysis and network access control.
- Arista Macro Segmentation Service (MSS) enables the creation
and enforcement of microperimeters through edge switches that can
protect or isolate each asset without requiring the deployment of
firewalls all across the enterprise network. Segmentation policies
can be defined once in Arista CloudVision and enforced dynamically
based on real-time network, application, device, or user identity
information.
- Arista NDR autonomously discovers, profiles, and classifies
every device, user, and application across the distributed network.
Based on this deep understanding of the attack surface, the
platform detects threats to and from these entities while providing
the context necessary to respond rapidly.
- Arista natively supports encryption capabilities such as MACsec
and Tunnelsec, enabling organizations to encrypt data to and from
legacy applications and workloads without changing those systems
but instead relying on the network to protect data from
unauthorized access, interception, and tampering.
Powered by Arista NetDL and AVA AI Insights
Arista’s zero trust architecture is built on the foundations of
a unified operating system in EOSⓇ and a common management plane in
CloudVisionⓇ. The EOS Network Data Lake (NetDL™) provides a single
source of network data ‘truth’ and a common sensor/collector
architecture that enables forensics and analytics for threat
hunting, network, and application observability, as well as network
detection and response.
Arista Autonomous Virtual Assist (AVA™) utilizes machine
learning and other artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to
augment pervasive visibility, continuous threat detection,
segmentation, and access control. Combined with distributed
network-wide state and telemetry data and third-party integrations,
AVA drives automation and extensibility to greatly reduce the
manual operational burden of operating and securing networks.
Extending the Client to Cloud Ecosystem with Zscaler
The Arista zero trust architecture is designed to be open and
API-friendly. This approach is focused on leveraging the underlying
network to eliminate blindspots and silos while streamlining
workflows across key security pillars that sit above the network
stack. Partners within the Arista zero trust ecosystem include
Microsoft, CrowdStrike, and our newest partner Zscaler. Arista is a
member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA),
having integrated with Microsoft’s security technology
offerings.
The newly introduced integration with the Zscaler Zero Trust
Exchange platform, the cloud-native platform that connects and
secures users, workloads, and devices over any network and any
location, brings critical domain and attacker infrastructure
intelligence into Arista NDR. Additionally, this integration allows
Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) to block access from devices Arista
identifies as compromised or domains or IP addresses Arista has
discovered to be malicious.
“With the acceleration of cloud adoption and blurring
perimeters, organizations' legacy approach to security is proving
ineffective. It is crucial to adopt a zero trust approach to ensure
the security of users and assets," said Amit Raikar, VP of Business
Development and Technology Alliances at Zscaler. "Zscaler and
Arista’s joint customers will be able to control risk and enforce
policy for the entire workforce, ultimately making their
enterprises more secure."
