Awake Security

Awake Security was an AI-driven network detection and response (NDR) platform that used behavioral analytics to identify insider threats, advanced persistent threats, and compromised devices across enterprise networks. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California, the company raised nearly $80 million in total funding before being acquired by Arista Networks in September 2020. Its platform analyzed network traffic to expose malicious actors and provide security teams with autonomous threat hunting capabilities without requiring manual rule creation.
