Juniper Networks Introduces Contrail Security to
Help Enterprises Protect Applications in Any Cloud

SINGAPORE, August 30, 2017 – Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), an industry leader in automated, scalable
and secure networks, today announced Juniper® Contrail Security, a new security
and microsegmentation solution specifically designed to allow enterprises
and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) cloud
providers to protect applications running in multiple cloud
environments.

Organizations are building and deploying cloud-native
applications across public and private clouds to realize the benefits of scale,
flexibility and agility. As these applications scale, their components are
distributed across multiple heterogeneous clouds, which can also inadvertently
distribute vulnerabilities and increase the risk of a business-impacting
security breach. To further complicate matters, the perimeter of cloud
environments is blurred, rendering perimeter-based policies ineffective in preventing
the lateral spread of threats and creating the need for agile enforcement
points that require up-to-date policies. Security administrators are also burdened with having to manually
create and manage myriad security policies across multiple environments and do
not have clear visibility into how applications interact with each other. These
conditions can lead to applications running in opaque environments with
ineffective security and limited scalability.

Contrail
Security enables an innovative response to the heightened risk brought about by
today’s cloud workloads and applications. Practitioners will have visibility
and control with simplified operations driven by consistent, intent-driven
security policies that seamlessly interoperate with existing security controls
and virtual environments. With Contrail Security, Juniper Networks is
transforming the way enterprises and SaaS cloud providers protect, manage and
monitor their cloud-native applications in heterogeneous environments. Contrail
Security combined with the automated threat detection and enforcement of
Juniper’s Software
Defined Secure Networks platform will further fuel the expansion of a truly unified
cybersecurity platform, able to adaptively respond to any threat.

Supporting Quotes:

“Contrail
Security is a key step forward in our mission to transform how enterprises and
SaaS cloud providers secure their cloud-native applications running in all
cloud environments. By offering enhanced threat prevention, policy management,
visibility and control, and by leveraging our battle-tested Contrail Networking
product components, our customers will be able to better protect themselves
against threats without compromising scale, performance and interoperability.”

–Pratik Roychowdhury, senior director of product management,
Contrail at Juniper Networks

“Juniper
Networks has a strong history in both network orchestration and security. The
next five years will be critical for companies that are planning to transform
their network infrastructure. Security buyers deploying complex SDN-enabled
networks would be wise to consider vendors with a deep expertise in network
orchestration.”

— Jeff Wilson, research director and advisor, Cybersecurity
Technology at IHS Markit 

“Myriad
and our customers are increasingly relying on both hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud
application delivery strategies. In these environments, it has been nearly
impossible for security teams to keep up. Contrail Security changes that. The
combination of intent-driven policy, consistency across environments, multiple
enforcement points, intelligent machine learning, and intuitive templates
and wizards promise to set a new bar for application security. We believe
Contrail Security will prove to be THE tool for stopping the spread
of lateral threats without compromising scale or performance across hybrid
& multi-cloud environments.”

— Chris Grundemann, principal architect at Myriad Supply
