Juniper Networks
Unifies Security Enforcement Across the Entire Enterprise with Software-Defined
Secure Networks

Enhancements and
Integrations Extend Security to Third-Party Network Elements Anywhere,
Including Private and Public Clouds

SINGAPORE, June 7, 2017 – Juniper
Networks (NYSE: JNPR), an industry leader in automated,
scalable and secure networks, today announced enhancements to its Software-Defined Secure Networks (SDSN)
platform to deliver pervasive security across multi-vendor environments, public
clouds and private clouds. Powered by automated enforcement, real-time
intelligence and machine learning, SDSN knows when and how to defend an
organization’s people, data and infrastructure, while using an open framework
to help simplify their operation.

As cybersecurity has grown increasingly complex, organizations have been
forced to cobble together disparate security products in the hopes of improving
their cybersecurity posture. However, these unintegrated solutions leave gaps
in protection and result in complicated and inefficient infrastructure.
Juniper’s SDSN platform and its ecosystem help organizations unify security for
these heterogeneous networks, giving customers a streamlined way to integrate
products and manage their security operations, regardless of the vendors they
choose.

Juniper is broadening this ecosystem through enhancements to its Junos Space® Security Director
Policy Enforcer, which automates security policy enforcement across
the network, preventing threats across firewalls, Juniper switches and now
third-party switches – an industry first. This will allow the network to
provide protection from both incoming and laterally moving threats.
Additionally, Security Director and vSRX will also be compatible with VMware NSX to provide elevated
management, policy enforcement, Layer 4-7 next-generation firewall and threat
containment for applications in the private cloud.

Highlights:

Policy Enforcer Automates
Threat Containment to Third-Party Switches: Smart policy deployment
engine, which automates security policy enforcement across the network and
quarantines infected endpoints, now provides enforcement deep into the
network, including third-party switches, such as Cisco.
- Juniper’s open APIs allow
  for seamless integration with security ecosystem partners; our
  integration with ForeScout® CounterACT® helps secure connectivity and
  visibility to multi-vendor network elements.
Public and Private Cloud
Integration: Juniper’s SDSN components will integrate with third-party cloud
systems to provide security for both public and private clouds, including:
- The ability to leverage
  VMware NSX with Policy Enforcer and vSRX for private cloud security and
  containment
- Microsoft Azure integration
  with Juniper’s virtualized firewall, vSRX, for public cloud, which
  further expands our current set ofvirtual marketplace offerings.
Juniper
Sky™ Advanced Threat Prevention with Email Analysis: Juniper’s cloud-based
malware prevention service adds detection of threats in email, enabling
advanced detection designed to rapidly find and catch the most destructive
exploits, including ransomware threats like WannaCry. Its
machine learning enhances threat research and intelligence, while email
traffic analysis catches more malware and stops it before it spreads.
