SecIntel vs. Juniper Session Smart Router

As cyber threats evolve and security risks escalate at a rapid pace, depending on a single device at the network's edge is inadequate for effectively detecting and mitigating these threats. Organizations must instead adopt a proactive threat-aware network that empowers security teams to focus on uncovering unknown threats, thus reducing potential risks to their operations. SecIntel enhances this threat-aware framework by delivering a continuous stream of aggregated and validated security information collected from Juniper and various other platforms. This solution provides up-to-date, actionable intelligence to SRX Series firewalls, MX Series routers, and enforcement tools on Juniper wireless access points, along with EX Series and QFX Series switches. It leverages curated threat feeds that encompass malicious IP addresses, URLs, certificate hashes, and information on domain usage. Moreover, it includes insights on infected hosts and custom threat feeds that enumerate all known compromised devices within the organization’s network. It also supports the incorporation of data from external sources, significantly improving the organization's threat management and prevention tactics through customized threat feeds. By developing such a robust threat-aware network, organizations can effectively address and adapt to the continuously shifting security environment while reinforcing their overall cyber resilience. This strategic approach not only enhances security posture but also fosters a culture of vigilance among security personnel.

Juniper's SD-WAN offering is driven by the innovative Session Smart™ Router, which is designed to provide exceptional user experiences. This advanced router is built on a secure network framework that is not only application-aware but also implements zero-trust security principles, successfully catering to the high standards of performance, security, and availability that modern enterprises demand. By adopting a tunnel-free architecture, it alleviates the inefficiencies typically found in conventional solutions, resulting in improved performance, faster deployment times, and considerable cost savings. The software's flexibility extends to deployment on customer premises equipment (CPE), data center servers, or cloud environments, allowing for a range of implementation choices. Centralized management is facilitated through the AI-augmented Juniper Mist™ cloud or the Juniper Session Smart Conductor platform, promoting efficient operational processes. Notable features include intelligent application-aware routing, reliable service delivery, automated orchestration, strong zero-trust security protocols, and extensive management functionalities through the Juniper platforms, enabling organizations to swiftly respond to evolving requirements. This comprehensive solution empowers businesses to significantly boost their network performance while ensuring the integrity of their security measures, thereby fostering a resilient IT infrastructure. Ultimately, organizations can leverage these capabilities to stay competitive in an ever-changing digital landscape.
