The new solution is a Unified security management integrated with best-in-class routing, firewalling and AI-predictive threat prevention to deliver essential security capabilities to the modern data center.
Juniper Networks has expanded its Connected Security portfolio with new products and capabilities that empower organizations to seamlessly extend security services and Zero Trust policies across distributed data center environments. The new Juniper Connected Security Distributed Services Architecture uniquely integrates Juniper’s unified security management paradigm. In addition, four new high-performance firewall platforms deliver unmatched performance in a compact footprint that minimizes cost, space and power consumption.
“As new distributed data center architectures create more blind spots and operational complexity, it is vital to have advanced security capabilities that can adapt with the transformation. Leveraging our expertise in both security and data center operations, Juniper is thrilled to deliver our Connected Security Distributed Services Architecture, AI-predictive threat prevention and new high-performance firewalls to enable our customers to enhance their security posture across their evolving data centers,” informed Shishir Singh, SVP and GM, Core Technologies and Security, Juniper Networks.
The newest enhancements to Juniper’s Connected Security portfolio provide a secure bridge for customers to facilitate their transition to a modern data center, at their own pace. Juniper is delivering an architecture design that fully decouples the forwarding and security services layers that have traditionally been combined in a single firewall appliance. By decoupling these layers, customers can utilize their existing Juniper MX series routers as an intelligent forwarding engine and load balancer. This unique design gives customers independent scaling flexibility without chassis limitations, multi-path resiliency and cost efficiency. When coupled with Juniper Security Director Cloud, the operational experience is as simple as managing one logical element, regardless of the quantities and form factors of any additional firewall engines added to the architecture.
“A new modern data center architecture is needed that delivers reliable automated operations and high-performing connectivity, all without sacrificing security within and between data center locations. By combining these new connected security capabilities with our world-class networking hardware and unique Apstra software for multivendor fabric management and automation, Juniper is setting the bar for secure and reliable data centers that deliver the best operator and end-user experiences,” added Praveen Jain, SVP and GM, AI Clusters and Cloud-Ready Data Center, Juniper Networks. Coupled with AI, customers gain even more effective malware prevention at line rate. Additionally, the enhanced URL filtering solution provides more granular control, with more than 200 categories to choose from and support for up to 200 languages, as well as a new portal for better insights on web content and easy recategorization. The AI-powered security solution enables customers and partners to predict and find real threats faster, leaving human experts to focus on more strategic security tasks.
