Juniper announces new partnerships to help IT embrace BYOD

Juniper Networks has announced addition of new enhancements to its Junos Pulse remote access (SSL VPN) and network access control (NAC) solutions and new technology partnerships with leading Mobile Device Management (MDM) companies.  These new enhancements and partnerships enable enterprises and service providers to simplify and better secure Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) efforts. Through partnerships with the leading MDM providers AirWatch and MobileIron, Juniper Networks Junos Pulse Secure Access Service and Junos Pulse Access Control Service solutions can leverage these and other popular MDM platforms.

With Juniper’s new technology partnerships, innovative technologies and broadened platform support, companies can now leverage existing MDM investments to expand their security and control of mobile devices while simplifying management.

By means of Mobile Device Management Partnerships, Juniper Networks is establishing a new open initiative to enable MDM and other mobile security solutions to integrate with its market-leading Junos Pulse technology.

Tamir Hardof, Senior Director, Security Product Marketing, Juniper Networks, said, “More needs to be done to help IT embrace BYOD by both enabling users to work everywhere, anytime on any device, while keeping the network secure.  Integrating and linking VPN, NAC and MDM solutions reduces complexity, functional silos and provides a better BYOD experience for both IT and end-users. By working together with our partners, Juniper Networks can simplify the user experience and provide IT peace of mind that they are not compromising security, privacy or control.”

Junos Pulse Access Control Service v5.0 and Junos Pulse Secure Access Service 8.0 are available t.
