Read full description
The system maps the entities within a network, including users, devices, and Internet of Things (IoT), to provide a comprehensive view of the environment. This approach allows for the detection of security threats across various network segments such as data centers, campus networks, and cloud environments. The platform is designed to be privacy-aware, a key feature in the current digital landscape.
Awake Security's business model is centered on providing its NDR platform to enterprises, likely through a subscription or licensing model. Its client base consists of organizations looking to enhance their security posture and gain deeper insights into their network activities. The acquisition by Arista has integrated Awake's technology into Arista's broader portfolio of cognitive cloud networking solutions, expanding its market reach and capabilities.
