JUNIPER NETWORKS CORPORATE SECURE SERVICES GATEWAY OVERVIEW

The Juniper Networks Secure Services Gateway appliances have been built on the success of the NetScreen FIrewall/IPSec VPN appliances, offering a purpose built security appliance that delivers a perfect blend of security and LAN/WAN connectivity for regional and branch office deployments. Traffic flowing in and out of an organization is protected from worms, Spyware, Trojans, and malware by a complete set of Unified Threat Management (UTM) subscription services. Network segmentation, dynamic routing and multiple deployment modes simplifies network integration and internal security implementation offering a consolidated firewall and LAN/WAN routing device reducing both capital and operating expendure.

The ease of installation and robust manageability of Juniper's all-in-one security appliances is complimented by its superior reliability and security capability. Without the inherent reliability issues associated with hard disk drives, appliances have proven to be the best long-term solutions when uptime is important. Juniper offers customizable security zones to increase interface density without additional hardware expenditures, lower policy creation costs, contain unauthorized users and attacks and simplify management of firewall/VPNs. This limits the time required to install and maintain the security device and reduces the number of setup steps where security holes are often created. Policy based management allows end-to-end life-cycle managment.
