Juniper Networks Announces Technology Alliance Partnerships to Expand Software-Defined Secure Networks

Juniper Networks Announces Technology Alliance
Partnerships to Expand Software-Defined Secure Networks

Market-Leading Security Partners Carbon Black, Netskope,
CipherCloud, ForeScout and Aruba Provide Unified End-to-End Security Solutions

SINGAPORE, February
15, 2017 – Juniper
Networks (NYSE: JNPR), an industry leader in automated,
scalable and secure networks, today announced technology alliance partnerships
with several leading security providers across a variety of critical areas,
including endpoint security, cloud access security and network access control.
The companies joining Juniper’s existing alliances include
market leaders Carbon Black, Netskope, CipherCloud, ForeScout and Aruba,
a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company. These partners will integrate their
technologies with Juniper’s Software-Defined Secure Networks
(SDSN) platform, allowing customers to create cohesive security
infrastructures with easily managed and deployed best-in-class products for advanced
threat intelligence sharing and prevention.

Today, organizations
are struggling to deal with an increasingly complex patchwork of solutions that
are often difficult for already-stretched security teams to manage and operate.
Many rely on a traditional network security model that is focused on hardening
the perimeter and layering on additional security technologies. This complexity
of multiple disparate security products, operating in their silos, is creating
the need for a simplified and efficient security infrastructure that is capable
of delivering coordinated visibility and control to stop threats closer to the
source.

Through the addition
of these partners, Juniper’s SDSN platform will expand protection against cyber
threats on-premises as well as off-premises. This includes defense in the
network, at the endpoint and in the cloud. Juniper’s technology alliance
partnerships are expected to not only help extend the SDSN vision, but also
solve one of the biggest challenges companies face – creating a cohesive
security infrastructure that stops threats anywhere as soon as they occur. By
enabling the network to be the center of a modern security infrastructure,
Juniper will bring simplicity to a complex network of disparate security
products and ensure customers have the flexibility to use best-of-breed
solutions to protect its mission-critical IT and business assets.

enterprise security solutions with visibility, adaptive control and strong
encryption for cloud apps and data, while sharing threat intelligence
through Juniper’s Sky ATP.
Shadow IT controls will mine and aggregate through Juniper Networks® SRX logs
to discover cloud usage and risk for over 14,000 clouds with 60 cloud risk
attributes, while enabling contextual access control on cloud-bound
traffic.
Cloud content protection will detect data leaks in real
time, add collaboration and remediation controls and selectively encrypt
sensitive data, while detailed dashboard analytics will monitor user
behavior across clouds and detect anomalies in real time.

ForeScout and Juniper
to Deliver a Pervasive Access Control and IoT Security Solution

ForeScout integrates with Juniper to provide
end-customers with continuous and real-time visibility and control of
traditional and IoT devices the instant they connect to the end-customer’s
network.
The integration with ForeScout’s agentless technology
simplifies volume endpoint deployments and reduces operational complexity
to help ensure compliance and increased network security.
ForeScout currently integrates with Juniper’s EX switches
for Layer 2 (L2) access security and control.

Aruba and Juniper
Extended Alliance to Provide Integrated Visibility, Policy and Attack Detection

Aruba’s ClearPass security portfolio seamlessly
integrates with Juniper’s campus and branch network products and
firewalls, providing security and IT teams with an industry-leading
solution that discovers, isolates and stops next-gen attacks at the access
edge of enterprise networks. Additionally, this integration will enable
access security policy enforcement.
The ClearPass security portfolio combines centralized
behavioral analytics with end-to-end device visibility for IoT and
traditional devices on wired and wireless networks, along with
authentication, compliance and control to mitigate risks from malicious or
compromised users, devices and endpoints.
Unique bi-directional integration between Aruba’s
ClearPass security platform and Juniper’s EX switches (Layer 2) and SRX
firewalls (Layer 3) enables push/pull of user/device data at ultra-high
session scalability to ensure complete integrity, visibility and policy
enforcement for people as well as all types of mobile and IoT devices.
Additionally, this integration will enable access security policy
enforcement on third-party switches and wireless LAN.
