Juniper Networks Extends Software-Defined Secure Networks with Advanced Automated Enforcement and Threat Prevention

SINGAPORE, October
5, 2016 – Juniper
Networks (NYSE: JNPR), an industry leader in automated,
scalable and secure networks, announced security portfolio enhancements that
extend threat prevention deeper into the network – down to the switch level.
These new and upgraded solutions, launched at Juniper’s NXTWORK
2016 user conference, include a new Policy Enforcer, which
automates the enforcement of security policies across the network and
quarantines infected endpoints to prevent threats across firewalls and switches
through Junos® Space Security Director. Additionally,
Juniper Networks® Sky Advanced Threat Prevention
(ATP) is now available on thevSRX Virtual Firewall as well as across the SRX Series Services Gateways,
extending protection from sophisticated malware across virtual and physical
firewalls. Juniper has also given customers the flexibility to meet their
specific needs through new mid-range SRX4000 Seriesfirewalls,
optimized for hybrid cloud and enterprise campus environments.

Today’s threats are
evolving at an accelerated rate, challenging organizations to operate safely
across their networks. These conditions are calling for fast and intelligent
security that’s built around real-time threat prevention, automated enforcement
and adaptive protection.Juniper’s Software-Defined Secure Networks (SDSN)
platform addresses this need with an open and unified architecture, and by
extending security enforcement across the entire network. With the solutions
announced today, users can rapidly react to newly identified threats across the
network. These capabilities allow organizations to leverage simple user
intent-based threat policies and take advantage of integrated threat prevention
that detects attacks, while dynamically updating enforcement at multiple points
throughout the existing network infrastructure.

This innovative
approach reduces the need for manual updates and automatically applies policies
and enforcement rules, driving down the costs of managing network security.
When combined with the ability to leverage the network itself for multiple
enforcement points across the infrastructure, enterprises are able to stop
threats closer to infection points and prevent threats from spreading, which
greatly improves the efficacy of security operations.

·         Security Director with Policy Enforcer: Security Director’s smart policy
deployment engine, which allows a single-point-of-management security policy,
now detects and quarantines infection points across firewalls and switches by
integrating with Sky ATP. Additional features include:

o   Policies enforced in real-time that adapt as
threats evolve to better protect the network and its users.

o   Unified visibility, analytics and management of
security throughout the network.

·         Sky Advanced Threat Prevention: The enhanced Sky ATP works with both
Juniper’s virtual and physical next-generation firewalls, including:

o   vSRX integration with Sky ATP to deliver
advanced threat prevention from the cloud with the ability to detect a broad
array of malicious malware.

o   The new SRX4000 Series, including SRX4100 and
SRX4200, are compact mid-range, next-generation firewalls that provide
cutting-edge performance at a compelling price point. They include advanced
threat prevention from the cloud with the ability to detect a broad array of
malicious malware through Sky ATP, as well as seamless integration with vSRX
for public cloud and hybrid environment.

o   SRX4100 and SRX4200 also provide advanced L4-L7
services, including Content Security, AppSecure and Unified Threat Management
(UTM) as well as a “single pane of glass” management with Junos Space Security
Director.

·         Professional Services: The Juniper Networks Professional
Services team and its authorized Professional
Services Partners can provide customers assistance in the
installation and configuration of Juniper’s Junos Space Security Director,
firewall migration services and SRX next-generation firewalls. Once in
production, Juniper’s award-winning maintenance and advanced services can help
customers maintain operational efficiency. Professional Services include:

o   Firewall Conversion Service 

o   SRX Series QuickStart Service

o   Junos Space Security Director QuickStart Service

·         Network Design and Architecture Center for
Software-Defined Secure Networks: Juniper’s new Design and Architecture Centerportal for Software-Defined Secure Networks
allows customers and partners to easily navigate through aggregated, multimedia
rich content for a seamless information experience.

·         At NXTWORK 2016, Juniper’s annual user
conference, customers will have the opportunity to hear from thought leaders,
industry experts and networking peers about the future of the industry and the
next era of Digital Cohesion, as well as share networking best practices.

·         Juniper also announced the opening of its OpenLab Silicon Valley location,
which will provide customers, partners, academics and other industry leaders
with training and hands-on learning experiences necessary to keep pace with the
continuous evolution of networking, especially in the face of digital
transformation.

“Attackers are
constantly managing to get inside networks, so it’s critical to implement
pervasive solutions that can rapidly identify the threat and prevent damage
from being done. With the products announced today, Juniper is broadening its
Software-Defined Secure Networks platform and supporting customers in their effort
to thwart cyber threats in a landscape that’s constantly evolving. These
security solutions enable policy, detection and enforcement, which are crucial
to delivering a secure network.”

“Our service volume
was rapidly growing and we needed to increase our network capacity and
modernize our data center. Having used the same vendor for 20 years, we looked
to Juniper Networks for a new network with greater speed and integrated
security. We decided to go with the vSRX, a firewall deployed as a virtualized
network function that delivers greater efficiency and resiliency as well as
rapid provisioning of new services. As a result, we are delivering highly
available secure networks that are driving customer satisfaction and we are
seeing accelerated business growth. Since experiencing great success with the
vSRX and other Juniper solutions, we are looking forward to extending our
virtualized environment.”

“The security
landscape is complex, but how organizations implement their security solutions
should not be. Juniper’s Software-Defined Secure Networks platform is simple
with the use of policy, detection and enforcement. To support customers and
partners with SDSN, Juniper’s new Design and Architecture Center for
Software-Defined Secure Networks delivers a fast and easy way to navigate
or browse through security related content.”

“Juniper has a history
of expertise in automation and orchestration and its new Policy Enforcer should
be valuable as a single point of security management across both firewalls and
switches. With threats growing at an unprecedented rate, orchestration and
automation are key to closing the threat exposure gap.”
