Juniper Networks has announced powerful new capabilities in its Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) solutions for protecting the enterprise edge, offering added security, control and efficiency while being easier to deploy and manage.
As security threats to enterprises continue to get more advanced and targeted, organizations need firewalls to provide added layers of security without adding complexity. Yet, the bulk of organizations are only now beginning to consider what NGFW can do for them. According to Gartner, less than 20 per cent of enterprise Internet connections today are secured using NGFWs, and that by the year end 2014, this will rise to 35 per cent of the installed base, with 70 per cent of new enterprise edge purchases being NGFWs.
The capabilities introduced today as part of Juniper Networks NGFW enable large organizations to manage a broad range of deployments and use cases while simplifying administrative overhead. Juniper’s solution also offers simplified and centralized management and an open services platform for essential security features, including intrusion prevention system (IPS), unified threat management (UTM) and application visibility. Further, the technology helps optimize enterprise resources for business-critical activities by prioritizing who gets access to what applications and what applications get prioritized on the network.
Juniper Networks is introducing new enhancements to its SRX Series Services Gateways that provide next-generation security to help customers protect against threats and control what is on their network without adding a heavy administrative burden.
