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.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/awake: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
