Arista Networks Australia: authorised partner for Arista network security

Arista secures data centre, campus and cloud networks using visibility the network already has, from NDR to access control. TOM SHAW is an authorised Arista partner that supplies, implements, integrates and supports Arista across Australia.

Network security and network detection

What Arista does

Arista builds data centre, campus and cloud networks, and uses the visibility that network already has to secure them. Its security portfolio covers network detection and response, network access control, microsegmentation, wireless intrusion prevention and edge firewalling, giving security teams insight into every device and conversation without relying on endpoint agents.

  • Network detection and response built on traffic the network already sees
  • Discovery and profiling of devices, users and applications, including unmanaged IoT
  • Cloud-delivered network access control for wired and wireless networks
  • Identity-based microsegmentation enforced in the network
  • Wireless intrusion prevention against rogue access points

Arista products we supply and implement

Arista NDR

Network detection and response that profiles every device, user and application from network traffic, correlates evidence over time and maps attacker activity to support investigation.

CloudVision AGNI

A software-as-a-service network access control solution that manages identity and access for users, devices and IoT across wired and wireless networks.

Multi-Domain Segmentation Service (MSS)

Microsegmentation that applies fine-grained security policy based on the identity of endpoints and applications, enforced by the network rather than by host agents.

Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS)

Classifies wireless devices detected in the airspace and blocks threats such as rogue access points and unauthorised connections.

Edge Threat Management

A next-generation firewall for distributed sites, managed through a cloud-based dashboard.

What Arista helps with

Seeing threats that endpoint tools miss

Arista NDR analyses network communications to detect suspicious behaviour from unmanaged, IoT and legacy devices that cannot run an endpoint agent.

Controlling who and what joins the network

CloudVision AGNI authenticates users and devices on wired and wireless networks and applies access policy based on identity.

Building zero trust into the network

Arista combines visibility, access control and segmentation so that policy follows identity, an approach it aligns to the NIST zero trust architecture.

Implement Arista in Australia with TOM SHAW

From licensing to long-term support, one Australian partner looks after your Arista deployment.

Supply and licensing

Buy Arista through an Australian partner, with licensing sized to what you actually need.

Implementation

We plan and deploy Arista in your environment, configured for your risks rather than left on defaults.

Integration

We connect Arista with the rest of your security stack, including Noble1, so its signals feed one view of human and machine risk.

Support

After go-live we support Arista: tuning, upgrades, health checks and help when you need it.

Arista in Australia: common questions

What is Arista NDR?

Arista NDR is Arista's network detection and response platform. It uses network sensors and AI-driven analysis to profile devices, users and applications, detect malicious behaviour and give analysts forensic timelines, without agents on endpoints.

What is CloudVision AGNI?

CloudVision AGNI is Arista's cloud-delivered network access control service. It manages identity-based access for users, devices and IoT on both wired and wireless networks.

Does Arista NDR need agents on endpoints?

No. Arista NDR works from network traffic collected by its sensors, which can run on Arista switches, as dedicated hardware, or as virtual and cloud instances.

Does Arista NDR integrate with SIEM and EDR tools?

Yes. Arista publishes integrations between Arista NDR and Microsoft Sentinel, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne and Zscaler, so network detections can be investigated alongside SIEM and endpoint data. TOM SHAW also supplies SentinelOne and can integrate the two.

What is Arista CloudVision?

CloudVision is Arista's multi-domain network management platform. It automates provisioning, configuration and network-wide change control, streams real-time telemetry instead of polling each device, and shows bug and security vulnerability exposure across data centre, campus, WAN and multi-cloud networks.

Is CloudVision available as SaaS or on-premises?

Both. Arista offers CloudVision as a cloud service or as an on-premises appliance, virtual or physical, and states that the two options have the same feature set.

Which identity providers does CloudVision AGNI work with?

Arista lists Okta, Google Workspace, Microsoft Azure, OneLogin and Ping Identity. AGNI applies access policy based on those identities and supports single sign-on self-service onboarding, with 802.1X certificates managed by its cloud-native PKI.

How does CloudVision AGNI handle IoT and BYOD devices?

For devices that cannot use 802.1X, AGNI supports captive portal and MAC-based authentication, and unique pre-shared keys for BYOD, IoT and medical IoT devices. It can also work with Arista NDR and third-party EDR or XDR tools to control a device after it has joined the network.

Is TOM SHAW a Arista partner in Australia?

Yes. TOM SHAW is an authorised Arista partner in Australia. We supply, implement, integrate and support Arista for Australian organisations.

Can TOM SHAW implement Arista for us?

Yes. We plan, deploy and configure Arista in your environment and integrate it with your existing security tools, including Noble1, so its signals feed one view of human and machine risk.

Do you support Arista after it is deployed?

Yes. We support Arista after go-live, including tuning, upgrades, health checks and help when you need it.

Can I buy Arista implementation through AWS Marketplace?

Yes. TOM SHAW's Arista implementation and support offering is listed on AWS Marketplace, so you can buy it through your AWS account.

Does Arista work with Noble1?

Yes. Arista integrates with Noble1, TOM SHAW's cyber risk platform, so its signals feed a single view of human and machine risk.
