SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arista Networks (NYSE: ANET), a leading provider of cloud networking solutions, today announced a significant update to its Arista MSSⓇ (Multi-Domain Segmentation Service) offerings that address the challenge of creating a truly enterprise-wide zero trust network. Without the need for endpoint software agents and proprietary network protocols, Arista MSS enables effective microperimeters that restrict lateral movement in campus and data center networks and thus reduces the blast radius of security breaches such as ransomware.Enterprise-wide Zero Trust Requires Effective MicrosegmentationToday’s distributed IT infrastructure with work-from-anywhere, the explosion of IoT devices and multi-cloud applications has upended the traditional security perimeter and led to a dynamic and unpredictable attack surface. To improve their defensive posture, organizations have embarked on zero trust efforts that require granular control of both north-south and east-west communication paths. Firewalls are simply not optimized to protect against all lateral movement, which would require a proliferation of security appliances, soaring costs, and an explosion of complex rule sets that still fail to protect against lateral movement.To address this challenge, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) “Zero Trust Maturity Model” recommends the adoption of microsegmentation for highly distributed, fine-grained enforcement through microperimeters. While many microsegmentation solutions are available on the market, both network and endpoint-based, they struggle with operational complexity, interoperability and portability challenges, and cost, which has limited their widespread adoption across the enterprise. As a result, zero trust efforts often stall.Standards-based Network MicrosegmentationArista MSS offers standards-based microsegmentation using existing network infrastructure while overcoming the challenges of existing solutions
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arista Networks, Inc (NYSE: ANET), an industry leader in data driven client to cloud networking, today announced a new network observability software offering merging network infrastructure performance and data from compute and server systems-of-record to deliver keen insights into application and workload performance across data center, campus, and wide area networks.Arista’s CloudVision® Universal Network Observability™ (CV UNO™) system, available as a premium feature license on Arista CloudVision, enables the automation of network, systems, and application/workload visibility, coupled with AI-driven proactive analysis and prescriptive recommendations, which significantly reduces human error, accelerates issue resolution for unforeseen events, and provides precise root cause analysis of network events and their impact on application delivery.“Bringing together multiple network domains with full application visibility and troubleshooting will streamline network operations and improve uptime and reliability. Disparate operating systems and lack of consistent data models across networks have made delivering systems with this degree of visibility previously impossible,” stated Zeus Kerravala, Principal Analyst at ZK Research. “Moreover, in an era characterized by stringent regulatory compliance, cybersecurity and observability throughout the enterprise is no longer optional but rather an essential imperative.”A Novel Network Observability SolutionCV UNO delivers unique systems-level capabilities to reduce enterprise risk, allow rapid fault detection and correction, and simplify cross-functional coordination, hastening time-to-recovery whether the root cause was network, platform, systems, or application-related. Key benefits include:Workload Application and Infrastructure Discovery: CV UNO automatically discovers applications, hosts, and workloads across various platforms and IT systems of record and inventory management systems. This holistic data, coupled with CloudVision’s deep view of the networking state within Arista Network Data Lake (NetDL™), CV UNO, presents a composite picture of the entire network and application environment. Additionally, it builds an application-to-network graph that is continuously refreshed and stored in time series to show a historical record of the environment’s evolution and state at any point in time.Proactive Risk Analysis: With real-time application-to-network graphing, CV UNO enables proactive risk analysis as part of the change management workflow, cross-referencing, and impact analysis of network issues and anomalies
