Best for Network-Native, Data-Center-Scale NDR

Arista NDR

Network-derived threat detection with an autonomous AI analyst

Arista NDR (built on the Awake Security platform) delivers threat detection derived directly from network traffic, with an Autonomous Virtual Assist (AVA) AI that triages and investigates like a tier-1 analyst. Tightly aligned with Arista's networking heritage, it provides device discovery, entity tracking and behaviour-based detection at data-center scale, catching threats across managed and unmanaged devices, IoT and OT. It is a strong fit for organisations that want NDR engineered by a networking company, for the network.

What is Arista NDR

Network-native detection with an AI analyst

Arista NDR, built on the Awake Security platform, delivers threat detection derived directly from network traffic, with an Autonomous Virtual Assist (AVA) AI that triages and investigates detections like a tier-1 analyst.

Engineered with Arista's networking heritage, it discovers and profiles every device, including unmanaged, IoT and OT, and applies behaviour-based detection at data-center scale, catching threats that signature tools and endpoint agents miss.

Built for
the Network

Arista NDR's edge is network-native engineering plus AVA: detection designed for high-throughput environments, with an AI analyst that automates the triage and investigation work.

  • AVA autonomous AI triage and investigation
  • Discovery and profiling of every device, including IoT and OT
  • Behaviour-based, signature-independent detection
  • Data-center-scale, network-native performance

Arista NDR Highlights

NDR from a company that lives in the network

Arista's heritage is high-performance networking. Arista NDR brings that network-native pedigree to threat detection, with an AI analyst (AVA) that automates triage and investigation.

AVA

Autonomous Virtual Assist AI triages like a tier-1 analyst

Entity tracking

Discovery and profiling of every device, including IoT and OT

Data-center

Detection engineered for high-throughput environments

AVA AI analyst

Triage and investigation, automated

Autonomous Virtual Assist reasons over detections like a tier-1 analyst, correlating activity and surfacing investigated incidents, sharply reducing the manual triage load on the SOC.

Entity tracking

Discover and profile every device

Arista NDR builds a profile of every entity on the network, including unmanaged, IoT and OT devices, so detection covers the assets endpoint agents never reach.

Network-native

Engineered by a networking company

Built on Arista's networking heritage, the platform is designed for high-throughput, data-center-scale environments where traffic volume defeats less performant tools.

Behaviour detection

Catch threats by how they behave

Behaviour-based analytics detect lateral movement, C2 and exfiltration across the network, independent of signatures, so novel and evasive threats are surfaced.

Who should put Arista NDR on the shortlist

  • Data centres and high-throughput environments needing network-native NDR

  • Estates with significant unmanaged, IoT and OT devices to profile

  • Teams that want an AI analyst (AVA) to automate triage and investigation

  • Organisations already aligned with Arista networking infrastructure

  • Buyers prioritising behaviour-based, signature-independent detection

Editions & packaging

Tiers and editions we deploy

Choosing the right edition matters as much as choosing the right platform. We map the tier to your environment, coverage scope and budget, not the brochure.

What to consider

The honest watch-outs

Every platform has trade-offs. We would rather raise these now than have you discover them three months into a deployment.

Strongest where the network is the focus

Arista NDR shines in network-centric, data-center-scale environments. Organisations seeking a single AI spanning email, cloud and identity as well sometimes prefer Darktrace or Vectra; pure forensic-evidence buyers lean to ExtraHop or Corelight.

How it is delivered

Sensors at network scale. Artiflex designs placement for full data-center coverage.

Network sensors

Sensors on taps or SPAN ports capture traffic at data-center throughput.

AVA analytics

Autonomous Virtual Assist triages and investigates detections automatically.

SOC integration

Investigated incidents and entity context feed your SOC and response workflow.

Why Artiflex IT

Delivering Arista NDR across the UAE

Artiflex IT deploys Arista NDR for UAE data centres and high-throughput estates. We design sensor and tap placement for full coverage, enable entity discovery across IoT and OT, tune behaviour-based detection, and integrate AVA's investigated incidents into your SOC workflow.

Faq

What is AVA in Arista NDR?

AVA (Autonomous Virtual Assist) is Arista NDR's AI that triages and investigates detections like a tier-1 analyst, correlating activity and surfacing investigated incidents. It automates much of the manual triage workload that otherwise consumes SOC analyst time.
