Awake

Awake Security was a cybersecurity company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, backed by Greylock Partners. Its network detection and response (NDR) platform applied network traffic analysis, behavioral modeling, and entity resolution to surface malicious activity, insider threats, and compromised devices across enterprise, IoT, and cloud environments without requiring endpoint agents. Arista Networks acquired Awake Security in October 2020 and the technology now ships as Arista NDR. This company profile was surfaced as a Greylock portfolio lead and added to the API Evangelist network for enrichment; the standalone awakesecurity.com domain is behind a bot-challenge and publishes no public API, developer portal, or machine-readable specification.

Awake is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Cybersecurity, Network Detection and Response, Network Security, and Threat Detection.
