Juniper enhances security offerings

Juniper Networks has extended its cloud and virtualized service offerings as part of its Software-Defined Secure Networks (SDSN) framework.

The cSRX is expected to provide a cost-effective way to wrap advanced security services around every workload and the ability to scale up to high multi-tenancy. Additionally, Juniper is announcing a massive increase in performance on its vSRX. Both products are anticipated to enable the network to better detect and combat threats through increased performance, intelligence, and a higher density of services on the Intel Xeon processor family (x86 platform). These enhancements to Juniper’s virtualized security portfolio extend the network and security administrator’s ability to provision and scale firewall protection, enabling more enforcement points across the network to stop threats faster...Read more
