Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite

The rapidly growing demands of employees to use their personal mobile devices to access corporate networks and resources has spurred the consumerisation of IT and created a complex security problem for enterprises. While the easy access to networks provided by smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices can improve employee productivity, unprotected and ill-secured mobile devices running potentially dangerous or malicious apps connecting to your network can lead to malware attacks, loss or theft of valuable confidential data, and may even create compliance or legal problems. Security threats to smartphones, tablets and mobile devices can also mean loss or theft of personal financial information, credit card data, or even identity theft for consumers.

The Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite is an innovative solution that delivers comprehensive mobile device security, management, monitoring and control. It protects smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices from viruses, malware, loss, theft, physical compromise, and other threats, as well as delivers robust mobile device management tools for enterprises and service providers. Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite offers services that are purpose-built for mobile devices, including:

• Antivirus
• Antimalware
• Mobile endpoint firewall
• Anti-spam
• Loss and theft prevention
• Mobile device management, monitoring and control

Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite can locate and track lost or stolen mobile devices, remotely wipe data from a lost or stolen device, remotely lock the mobile device, enforce passcode policies, and sound an alert on the lost or stolen device or when the SIM card has been removed, swapped or replaced. Junos Pulse empowers enterprises and service providers to enable mobile device users secure access to corporate networks, and sensitive applications and data through a zero-touch deployment model.

Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite is deployed as a secure, hosted SaaS offering. It enables service providers to offer desirable premium services to enterprise and consumer subscribers to increase their average revenue per user (ARPU), enhance subscriber retention, provide competitive differentiation, and raise user satisfaction.
