What is Arista NDR?
Arista NDR is a network detection and response platform that analyzes enterprise network traffic to discover entities, detect threats, and support investigation and response without endpoint agents. The product originated as the Awake Security NDR platform, founded in 2014, which Arista Networks acquired in 2020 and rebranded. Its components include EntityIQ for entity tracking, the AVA decision-support engine, and Adversarial Modeling for threat hunting. Sensors can run on Arista switches, as physical or virtual appliances, and in public cloud environments such as AWS and Google Cloud.
