AVA solution bridges network and security
gap
Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET), a leader in data-driven networking,
today announced that its 720XP series of switches for campus
deliver embedded security and packet analysis. By embedding NDR
(Network Detection and Response) capabilities into the Arista
EOS-based switches themselves, customers derive broader visibility
and threat hunting across the modern cognitive campus. The secure
infrastructure optimizes existing human workflows and drives
automated risk mitigation without the need to deploy additional and
external network security products.
“As a highly respected network infrastructure provider, Arista
is well-positioned to bake security into the core of the network.
Bringing artificial intelligence techniques such as deep learning,
belief propagation, and natural language processing to data
captured directly off the switch has the potential to grossly
simplify network security for customers,” said Dr. Edward Amoroso,
Chief Executive Officer, TAG Cyber and Research Professor, New York
University. “Being a former security practitioner myself, the
ability to avoid the operational burdens of bolting security on, is
very appealing.”
High Fidelity NDR with Arista AVA
Powered by AVA™ (Autonomous Virtual Assist), this AI-driven
function has two key components: AVA Sensors and the AVA Nucleus.
AVA Sensors support a variety of form factors from stand-alone
appliances and virtual to cloud workloads and now, within campus
power over ethernet (PoE) switches. These sensors curate and
transfer the “just right” deep-packet data to the AVA Nucleus,
which is offered as both on-premises and SaaS. With a simple switch
software upgrade and minimal impact on switch performance or
reliability, the Arista NDR platform delivers:
- Enhanced visibility: Identify mal-intent, profile, and track
all users, apps, and devices –whether managed desktops and
workstations or unmanaged contractors, supply chain, cloud, and IoT
workloads.
- Correlate these entities based on behavioral analysis to build
an entity-centric view and declutter a security analyst’s threat
hunting workflow.
- Real-time Situational Awareness: Understand the entire threat
landscape and scope of any attack so that security analysts can
make intelligent and risk-based decisions.
- AI-Driven Threat Detection: Automate threat detection and
response on the network with a platform that identifies underlying
attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures rather than just known
indicators of compromise.
- Managed NDR: Leverage the power of the Arista NDR platform
coupled with skilled resources from Awake Labs that bring decades
of experience to enhance the customer’s 24x7 security operations,
threat hunting, and incident response programs.
“Network security has been an ongoing challenge for most
organizations due to hardware deployments and configuration changes
needed at the network infrastructure level. While organizations
acknowledge that the network presents a unique vantage point,
security teams have been forced to trade off network visibility and
ongoing operational costs,” said Rahul Kashyap, Vice President and
General Manager of Cybersecurity and CISO at Arista Networks. “By
building NDR capabilities into the switching infrastructure itself,
Arista enables a built-in, secure network that reduces
organizational risk by speeding up both time to detection and time
to remediation.”
Legacy NetFlow-based solutions are limited in their depth of
visibility (port, IP address, and basic protocol information) and
lack the context to identify modern devices or threats. In stark
contrast, AVA Sensors analyze the full packet, including
application layer data which sets the stage for automated and
manual threat hunting. Innovations like this have led Arista NDR to
be recognized as a leader in the KuppingerCole Network Detection
& Response Leadership Compass 2021 Report. The platform also
received the AI Breakthrough award for the Best AI-based Solution
for CyberSecurity.
AVA Availability
The new capabilities are expected to be generally available in
Q2, 2022, with early trials in March 2022.
