Why Juniper Networks - Delivering Security Product That Scales
Juniper Connected Security safeguards users, applications and infrastructure by allowing visibility into who and what is on a network. This provides protection as close to the endpoint as possible by taking advantage of integration and the infrastructure. The latest updates to Juniper’s containerized firewall,
the cSRX, and the addition of security intelligence to our highly-scalable MX routing platform, demonstrate our commitment to integrating security into everything we do.
IT and infrastructure are expanding, driven by the demands of the business and the expectation of always-on availability with a secure and positive user experience. As the infrastructure grows, it is also becoming more complex. This complexity is taxing on both the security and operations teams and creates blind spots for traditional defenses. Securing today’s infrastructure requires enhanced visibility and multiple points of enforcement throughout the infrastructure.
Increased complexity, as well as increasing attacker capabilities, are combining to create a perfect storm for information security. A connected security strategy is an absolute necessity for networks of all sizes. In turn, this puts emphasis on the need for both deep network visibility and multiple points of enforcement throughout the network.
In most organizations, however, the increase in scale and complexity has not been accompanied by similar levels of growth on the security team. Although these factors have made skilled security engineers more valuable assets, it has also left them scrambling to keep up with accelerating growth and change.
What is needed are security solutions that incorporate threat intelligence into every point of connection on the network, while also working at scale and contending with exponential growth. Integration of multiple points of defense is a necessity to create more efficient security. Visibility enables expedited threat identification – multiple points of enforcement facilitates your ability to isolate those threats when detected.
No vendor can be an island that magically prevents all compromise events. To successfully defend today’s data centers, security teams need an architecture that acts as a connected force with products that enhance security while providing automation, orchestration and interconnectivity capabilities. Some vendors imply that the only way for organizations to achieve this is to replace their infrastructure with a homogenous stack of products. At best, they may “allow” interoperability with their equipment, but the end goal is always to replace what is already there with what they sell. Juniper Connected Security allows organizations to realize and build upon the full benefits of their existing security investments without having to rip and replace.
