Awake Security (Arista Networks)

Awake Security was a network detection and response (NDR) company founded in 2014 that used AI and machine learning to analyze network traffic and detect threats, compromised devices, and malicious insiders without relying on agents or signatures.

The former awakesecurity.com domain redirects to Arista's security solutions site; the product has no distinct public developer API, OpenAPI specification, developer portal, or SDK program of its own. Originally surfaced as a portfolio company of Bain Capital Ventures. Sector: security.
