Next generation network identity brings
simplicity at cloud scale to the enterprise
Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET), a leading provider of cloud
networking solutions, today announced at the RSA Conference (Booth
#1443) a cloud-delivered, AI-driven network identity service for
enterprise security and IT operations. Based on Arista’s flagship
CloudVisionⓇ platform, Arista Guardian for Network Identity (CV
AGNI™) expands Arista’s zero trust networking approach to
enterprise security. CV AGNI helps to secure IT operations with
simplified deployment and cloud scale for all enterprise network
users, their associated endpoints, and Internet of Things (IoT)
devices.
"Proliferation of IoT devices in the healthcare network creates
a huge management and security challenge for our IT and security
operations. The ease of securely onboarding devices on the network
by CV AGNI and its integration with Medigate by Claroty for device
profiling greatly simplifies this problem for a healthcare
network,” said Aaron Miri, CIO of Baptist Healthcare.
AI-Driven Network Identity brings Simplicity and Security at
Scale
While enterprise networks have seen massive transformation in
recent years with the adoption of cloud and the acceleration of a
post-pandemic, perimeter-less enterprise, Network Access Control
(NAC) solutions have changed little for decades. Traditional NAC
solutions continue to suffer from the complexity of on-premises
deployment and administration and have been unable to adapt to the
explosion of SaaS-based identity stores, users, devices and their
associated profiles across the enterprise.
CloudVision AGNI takes a novel approach to enterprise network
identity management. Built on a modern, cloud-native microservices
architecture, the CV AGNI solution leverages AI/ML to greatly
simplify the secure onboarding and troubleshooting for users and
devices and the management of ever-expanding security policies.
CV AGNI is based on Arista’s foundational NetDL architecture and
leverages AVA™ (Autonomous Virtual Assist) for a conversational
interface that removes the complexity inherent in managing network
identity from a traditional legacy NAC solution. AVA codifies
real-world network and security operations expertise and leverages
supervised and unsupervised ML models into an ‘Ask AVA’ service, a
chat-like interface for configuring, troubleshooting and analyzing
enterprise security policies and device onboarding. CV AGNI also
adds user context into Arista’s network data lake (NetDL), greatly
simplifying the integration of device and user information across
Arista’s products and third-party systems.
CloudVision AGNI delivers key attributes from client to cloud
across the cognitive enterprise:
- Simplicity: CV AGNI is a cloud service that eliminates
the complexity of planning and scaling the compute resources for an
on-premises solution. Administrative actions take a fraction of the
time compared to a traditional NAC solution. It also natively
integrates with industry-leading identity stores.
- Security: CV AGNI leapfrogs legacy NAC solutions by
redefining and greatly simplifying how enterprise networks can be
secured and segmented by leveraging user and device context in the
security policies.
- Scale: With a modern microservices-based architecture,
the CV AGNI solution scales elastically with the growing needs of
any enterprise.
CloudVision Delivers Network Identity as-a-Service
Based on the CloudVision platform, CV AGNI delivers network
identity as a service to any standards-based wired or wireless
network.
CloudVision AGNI’s key features include the following:
- User self-service onboarding for wireless with per-user unique
pre-shared keys (UPSK) and 802.1X digital certificates.
- Certificate management with a cloud-native PKI
infrastructure.
- Enterprise-wide visibility of all connected devices. Devices
are discovered, profiled and classified into groups for
single-pane-of-glass control.
- Security policy enforcement that goes beyond the traditional
inter-group macro-segmentation and includes intra-group
micro-segmentation capabilities when combined with Arista
networking platforms through VLANs, ACLs, Unique-PSK and Arista
MSS-Group techniques.
- AI-driven network policy enforcement based on AVA for
behavioral anomalies. When a threat is detected by Arista NDR, it
will work with CV AGNI to quarantine the device or reduce its level
of access.
Tailored for Multi-vendor Integration
CloudVision AGNI leverages cognitive context from third-party
systems, including solutions for mobile device management, endpoint
protection, and security information and event management. This
greatly simplifies the identification and onboarding process and
application of segmentation policies. Examples include:
- Endpoint Management: Medigate by Claroty, CrowdStrike XDR, Palo
Alto Cortex XDR
- Identity Management: Okta, Google Workspace, Microsoft Azure,
Ping Identity and OneLogin.
- MDM: Microsoft Intune, JAMF
- SIEM: Splunk
- Networking devices: Multi-vendor interoperability in addition
to Arista platforms
