Arista Networks Inc. announced today that it’s embedding network detection and response or NDR capabilities into its network switches.
With an upgrade to EOS, Arista’s operating system, the 720XP series of switches will have NDR baked into it. The NDR capabilities, which Arista gained through its recent Awake Security acquisition, will give organizations greater visibility, automated threat hunting and risk mitigation without having to deploy additional network security products. In the past, organizations would have needed to deploy a packet broker or agents on endpoints.
