Secure Networks, The Zero Trust Way
Network security needs to pivot from bolt-on reactive measures to a more proactive built-in approach of continuous contextual network monitoring that ensures a threat is detected before it can lead to a significant data breach.

Zero Trust Networking
A zero trust networking approach to security is paramount for organizations looking to build a robust cybersecurity ecosystem today. Based on the premise of explicit trust, zero trust security ensures complete visibility and control over any enterprise network activity, regardless of which device, application, or user is accessing that resource.
The Time for Zero Trust Networking is Now
A new age of edgeless, multi-cloud, multi-device collaboration on hybrid work models has redefined global frontiers and the enterprise threat landscape. As hybrid work models continue to thrive, enterprise data is increasingly exposed to a growing attack surface and newer threats every day. Additionally, with the use of BYOD, IoT devices, and cloud apps becoming the norm, enterprises have a massive increase in the number of unmanaged assets and reduced visibility into their true attack surface.
Arista is trusted and powers the world’s largest data centers and cloud providers based on the quality, support, and performance of its products. The experience gained from working with over 9000 customers has helped redefine software-defined networking and many of our

customers have asked us how we plan to address security. To us, security must be a holistic and inherent part of the network. Our customers have been subjected to the fatigue of point products, reactive solutions, proprietary vendor lock-ins, and most of all, operational silos created between CloudOps, NetOps, DevOps, and SecOps. By leveraging cloud principles, Arista’s cloud network architectures bring disparate operations together to secure all digital assets across clients to IoT, campus, data center, and cloud protecting them from threats, thefts, and compromises.

Arista Zero Trust Security for Cloud Networking
As zero trust has gained popularity as a means to mitigating risk in this new network environment, organizations are struggling with real-world implementation. Read our whitepaper to examine some of the common hurdles in the zero trust journey and how bestin-class organizations measure progress using maturity models from the likes of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) and the analyst firm Forrester. The paper also explores a pervasive network strategy that can help compensate for a lack of maturity in other domains such as devices, workloads, and identities.
Arista’s suite of security solutions helps customers accelerate their journey towards zero trust maturity. Arista supports all the key functions CISA recommends for the network: network segmentation, network traffic management, traffic encryption, and network resilience along with controls for visibility and analytics, automation and orchestration, as well as governance.

CASE STUDY: Ransomware Attack Unfolds in a Manufacturing Industry
Arista NDR was engaged in a Proof of Value trial with a manufacturing company at their Dallas, TX location. While this attack was unfolding in Atlanta, Arista NDR identified suspicious activity from a legitimate (but what appeared to be a compromised) device.
Arista NDR detected this threat by:
● Isolating early warning signs of ransomware like credential abuse, privilege escalation, and network discovery.
● Identifying security measures such as using non - browser encrypted communications.
● Uncovering the use of a malicious domain for ransomware download and distribution.
