Juniper Networks introduced Juniper Contrail Security, a new security and microsegmentation solution specifically designed to allow enterprises and Software-as-a-Service cloud providers to protect applications running in multiple cloud environments.

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.

“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” said Pratik Roychowdhury, Senior Director of Product Management, Contrail at Juniper Networks

“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” said Jeff Wilson, Research Director and Advisor, Cybersecurity Technology at IHS Markit.

“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” said Chris Grundemann, Principal Architect at Myriad Supply.
