Description

Regulations are expanding in number while also becoming increasingly complex. In this environment, high-performance businesses and organizations rely on IT solutions to support and simplify their internal compliance processes. These compliance solutions must be easy to deploy and maintain while simplifying the task of ensuring compliance. More importantly, achieving compliance should not limit the growth and competitiveness of the business.

Juniper's compliance architectures:

  • Support high-performance security and networking with audit reporting capabilities that improve internal operating processes
  • Deliver best-in-class security and availability, ensuring that network performance requirements are being met
  • Utilize open, standards-based implementations to support a cost-effective evolution as security threats and compliance requirements change over time
  • Offer simplicity and ease of deployment to reduce the potential for human errors that may inadvertently cause non-compliance

Juniper's solutions support a wide range of compliance requirements:

  • Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX)
  • Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
  • Healthcare Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
  • North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC)
  • Gramm-Leach Bliley (GLB)
  • Homeland Security Presidential Directive Twelve (HSPD-12)
  • Homeland Security Presidential Directive Twenty (HSPD-20)
  • US Federal Telework
  • Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA)

Compliance Solutions from Juniper Networks

Juniper Networks solutions, in line with best practices like COBIT or ISO17799, enable the implementation of the specific controls that are most appropriate for regulatory compliance. Here are Juniper's offerings that support the critical areas of regulatory compliance.

Securing Stored Data

Organizations must secure stored data to ensure its integrity and privacy.

  • Juniper Networks firewalls and intrusion detection and prevention (IDP) secure data from malicious and unintentional attacks and intrusions, whether they originate from outside or within the organization.
  • WAN optimization through the WX platforms enables organizations to move data from branch offices into centralized data centers for better control and security.

Controlling Access to Data

Many forms of compliance require that organizations restrict access to those with a "need to know."

  • Unified Access Control along with internal firewalls and access rules enforces privacy restrictions for LAN users.
  • In distributed and extended organizations, SSL VPNs, MPLS-based VPNs and firewall security zones enforce privacy rules for remote users.

Ensuring Data Availability

Many regulations require that data must remain readily available.

  • Routers utilize redundant hardware and modular software to enhance network availability.
  • Juniper Networks M-series routers for data center gateways offer BGP support and IP/MPLS automated failover options to ensure network uptime in the case of ISP failure.
  • Data center acceleration platforms maximize server uptime to ensure the availability of applications and data.
  • Juniper Networks products support high-availability configurations to increase uptime.

Monitoring Network Events

Organizations must be ready to demonstrate the effectiveness of their controls to auditors. Regulations often require active monitoring and reporting of network events.

  • IDP provides deep visibility into network traffic content, and comprehensive reporting of content, alarms and events.
  • Juniper Networks routers, firewalls and SSL VPNs offer thorough log reports of network traffic.
