Juniper Networks

Dear Customer

Over the next three issues of our customer newsletter, we shall be using a series of downloadable short videos to highlight the Juniper Networks solutions that enable enterprises to address security and connectivity requirements cost-effectively for branch and medium-sized offices.

Our first issue focuses on the Juniper Controlling Access Solution. Please read on to find out more.

Secure network access from wherever you are
Fluid network boundaries, diverse users with expanded access and
increasingly sophisticated security attacks all mean one thing - granting
network access based on user authentication is not enough.

In order to maximise enterprise productivity, competitiveness and profitability worldwide, network access risk must be mitigated, reduced, and if possible eradicated. Click here to download Juniper Networks’ Controlling Access Solution video, which demonstrates the best way to achieve this.

Juniper is the first vendor to have independent, real-world SSL VPN testing which was completed by ITS (Independent Testing Service)
Juniper believes in building real-world, reproducible testing based on Spirent and IXIA industry standardised performance test tools. Other vendors don’t do this, and may use Tolly to measure maximum throughput or connections/sec, neither of which provides a realistic picture. This third-party report validates that true measurement is about how many users can do real work on the product.

New 3rd Party Analyst White Paper on Controlling Access: The Pervasive Network Access Voyage
This white paper by analyst Jon Oltsik from the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) describes the benefits and costs associated with providing network access to various users in the distributed enterprise. Lots of organisations have increased revenue, lowered cost, bolstered productivity and improved communications by opening network doors to guests, contractors, suppliers, business partners and customers. However, this access comes with a price; the more endpoints and users that access the network, the more dangerous the network becomes. It's hard enough monitoring employees for behaviour and end points,but now IT is forced to do the same thing for outsiders with their own network devices. Large organisations must strike a balance between network access and security for internal and external users as soon as possible.

Exciting Announcement From Juniper and Microsoft!
On Monday, May 21, at Interop Las Vegas 2007, Juniper Networks and Microsoft® announced that the companies are working together to provide open standards-based interoperability between Juniper’s Unified Access Control (UAC) v2.0 solution and Microsoft’s Network Access Protection (NAP).

The UAC/NAP interoperability leverages a new standard client-server protocol published and adopted by the Trusted Computing Group’s (TCG) Trusted Network Connect (TNC), based on Microsoft contributing its NAP primary Statement of Health (SOH) client-server protocol to the TCG. The UAC/NAP interoperability enables the Juniper Networks Infranet Controller to leverage the built-in security assessment capabilities and the Statements of Health (SOH) provided by the NAP agent built into the Windows Vista® and Microsoft Windows® XP operating systems. Juniper UAC does this by using the Statement of Health (SOH) protocols, the standard client-server protocol published as part of the TCG’s TNC open specifications for network access control (IF-TNCCS-SOH). Interoperable UAC/NAP solutions will be generally available in the first half of 2008.

The UAC/NAP interoperability will provide you with greater choice, flexibility and investment protection for your network access control (NAC) deployments. For more information, visit our press centre by clicking here.
