About the Advisories Page

SIRTS Dashboard

The Juniper Networks Security Incident Response Team (SIRT) issues advisories to inform you about security vulnerabilities and available fixes for Juniper Networks products and services.

The SIRT dashboard provides a summary report on the security vulnerabilities advisories published by the SIRT team for the Juniper Networks devices onboarded to the organization.

Use the dashboard to view the list to identify affected devices, assess the impact and severity of the vulnerabilities, view recommended actions to mitigate the risk, and so on.

To access the SIRT dashboard, navigate to Organization > Advisories > SIRT.

Note:

The advisories are available only for cloud-connected devices linked to your organization.

The SIRT insights panel provides you an overview of the security vulnerabilities impacting your organization's onboarded devices.

This interactive panel helps you identify which devices are at risk, prioritize security patching, understand where the risk is concentrated, and take targeted action.

Use the different filters to pivot the report and get focused insights into the vulnerabilities impacting your devices.

You can filter data based on the following parameters:

• Product— Displays the device models in your inventory that are affected by security vulnerabilities. Helps you identify which device models are the most affected by vulnerabilities.

  The row displays the top three device models with the highest number of SIRTs. Remaining models are grouped under Others.

  Entries are sorted in descending order based on the number of devices per model affected by security vulnerabilities. Each entry shows device count (in units and percentage of total) and number of associated SIRTs for each model.

  Click a model to filter security vulnerabilities specific to that model.

• SW Release—Displays the Junos OS release version running on the affected devices. Helps you track which OS version is running on the affected devices.

  The row displays the top OS releases with the highest number of SIRTs. Remaining releases are grouped under Others.

  Entries are sorted in descending order based on the number of devices per release with associated security vulnerabilities. Each entry shows the device count (in units and percentage of total) and number of associated SIRTs.

  Click any release to filter SIRTs advisories specific to that version of Junos OS.

• SIRTs by Age—Displays the distribution of SIRTs based on their publication age. This helps you assess how long vulnerabilities have existed and whether older advisories are still impacting your devices.

  Select a time range to filter the advisories published within that period.

• Exposure by Severity—Displays the percentage of security vulnerabilities impacting the devices grouped by severity: Critical, High, Medium, and Low. The percentage indicates how much of your inventory is affected by each severity level.

  This helps you filter vulnerabilities by severity, identify what percentage of your inventory is impacted by vulnerabilities, and focus on remediating the most critical vulnerabilities.

  Click a severity level to filter advisories based on that level.

To review detailed SIRT records and identify affected devices and advisories, use the SIRT table. For field description, see Table 1.

PBN Dashboard

Juniper Networks notifies you about known software issues through Proactive Bug Notifications (PBNs). Each PBN includes information such as bug description, impact level, affected devices, and the software releases in which the issue is resolved.

The PBN dashboard displays a summary report on the known software issues that impact Juniper Networks devices onboarded to the organization.

Use the dashboard to view the list of devices impacted by the issue, severity rating assigned to the issue, its potential impact, possible fixes or workarounds to address the issue, and so on.

To access the PBN dashboard, navigate to Organization > Advisories > PBN.

Note:

The report is available only for cloud-connected devices linked to your organization.

The PBN insights panel provides you an overview of the known issues impacting your organization's onboarded devices. This interactive panel helps you identify high-risk devices, understand the scope of impact, prioritize troubleshooting, and schedule maintenance and upgrades.

Use the different filters to pivot the report and perform targeted investigation into the issues impacting your devices.

You can filter data based on the following parameters:

• Product—Displays the device models in your inventory most affected by known issues. Helps you identify which device models are the most affected by known issues.

  The row displays the top three device models with the highest number of known issues. Remaining models are grouped under Others.

  Entries are sorted in descending order based on the number of affected devices per model. Each model shows model’s device count (in units and percentage of total) and number of associated PBNs.

  Click a model to filter known issues affecting that model.

• SW Release—Displays the Junos OS release versions running on the affected devices. Helps you track which OS version is running on the affected devices.

  The row displays the top OS releases with the highest number of known issues. Remaining models are grouped under Others.

  Entries are sorted in descending order based on the number of affected devices per release. Each version shows the device count (in units and percentage of total) and the number of associated PBNs.

  Click a release to filter known issues by that specific Junos OS version.

• Exposure by Customer Risk—Lists the percentage of known issues grouped by severity: Critical, Major, and Minor.

  This helps you sort known issues by severity, identify what percentage of your inventory is impacted by the issues, and plan upgrades.

  Click a severity level to filter PBNs based on that rating.
