GEC NEWS WIREJuniper Networks has made 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.
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.
“The enhancements we are announcing today will further enable our customers to achieve broad protection from malware and other attacks in an automated and real-time way, while streamlining management of heterogeneous networks,” said Mihir Maniar, vice president of security product management, Juniper Networks
Hatem Hariri, general manager, Middle East and Africa, Juniper Networks said, “Following the recent high-profile global cyber-attacks that crippled many organizations, cybersecurity is no longer a concern for only CISOs. Juniper’s Software-Defined Secure Networks platform can help enhance the existing security infrastructure already in place across organizations, both private and public, by leveraging automation, machine learning and real-time intelligence.”
