Zero trust architectures attempt to mitigate risk associated with cyber threats by eliminating implicit trust in a device simply because it is on the internal network. However, this is easier said than done, given today’s changing definition of the network that spans campus, data center, cloud, and more. Adding multiple network security layers such as firewalls, network access control, and threat detection, among others, comes at tremendous cost, complexity, and brittleness, whereas the benefits are often hard to quantify. As a result, many organizations must roll the risk management dice, especially deep inside the network where the organization’s crown jewels are often housed.

Arista offers a full suite of security solutions built on the foundations of our unified operating system in EOS® (Extensible Operating System) and the common management plane in CloudVisionTM. These solutions map to the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model1 and help organizations accelerate their journey toward optimal maturity. Moreover, these network security controls can help compensate for gaps in the organization’s zero trust posture in domains such as identity, devices, workload, and data. Most importantly, this integrated security toolset uses the underlying network infrastructure from switches to WAN routers to deliver key security capabilities and integrates seamlessly with the organization’s existing security program and tools.
