Juniper Security Director Cloud New Features: August 13, 2025

Dashboard

New general and security dashboards—You can now see general and security data on interactive and customizable widgets on the Dashboard page. You can view data for the last 30 days and filter information based on device name, device group, or zone. The widgets in the old dashboard are not updated with the logs generated after the new dashboards are implemented.

See Dashboard Overview.

Monitor

Insights—You can now get a visually rich experience to monitor device traffic with advanced bubble chart visualizations and interactive grid layouts. With dynamic updates, charts and grids reflect current network activity.

  • Bubble charts—Quickly spot traffic spikes and anomalies by viewing information related to applications, URL filtering, threats, users, content filtering, anti-malware, SecIntel, DNS security, and IDP and Screens. Bubble size and color indicate the volume of threats and the risk level for intuitive pattern recognition.

  • Interactive grids—Easily filter and analyze traffic data using sortable columns.

See Insights Overview.

Support for data plane packet capture—You can now use Juniper Security Director Cloud to intercept and analyze packets as they pass through the data plane of the network. The captured packets are stored in a packet capture file, which you can download and analyze by using network packet analyzer tools, such as Wireshark. Multiple tenants can initiate packet capture independently and run multiple packet capture sessions parallelly. You can capture data packets from SRX4600, SRX5400, SRX5600, and SRX5800 devices running Junos OS Release 19.3 or later.

See Data Plane Packet Capture Overview.

SRX

Device Configurations tab—You can now use the Device Configurations tab to configure Junos OS settings for an SRX Series Firewall. The settings are classified into four categories, such as Basic Settings, Network Settings, Security Settings, and Advanced Settings.

Note:

  • The commonly configured settings and fields are categorized and displayed in the Basic, Security, and Network Settings tabs for all the devices. All other settings and fields are displayed in the Advanced Settings tab. When you upgrade Junos OS on your device to a newer version, any new settings and fields will be displayed in the Advanced Settings tab.

  • You can ignore the setting(s) or field(s) if they are not applicable for your device. Use Feature Explorer to determine if a feature is supported on your device.

  • The Device Configuration tab excludes settings configurable from feature-specific SRX menu pages. For example, you can create an anti-malware profile only on the Anti-malware page.

[See Devices Overview.]

CLI command for NETCONF and SSH rate limits—You can use CLI commands to set NETCONF and SSH rate limits when you add devices by using the Adopt Device or Adopt Cluster options on the Devices page.

[See Add Devices.]

Onboard and manage SRX4120 Firewalls—You can now use Juniper Security Director Cloud to onboard and manage SRX4120, a next-generation firewall that protects your enterprise campus edge and data center edge. Use SRX4120 devices for use cases such as:

  • Roaming

  • SD-WAN large branch

  • SD-WAN secure hub

[See Add Devices, Onboard SRX Series Firewalls to Juniper Security Director Cloud, Juniper Security Director Cloud Supported Firewalls.]

CSDS Groups

Monitor SRX Series Firewalls in CSDS Architecture—You can now use Connected Security Distributed Services (CSDS) groups to monitor your SRX Series Firewalls within the CSDS Architecture. CSDS groups provide network topology visualization and performance metrics tracking. You can improve network visibility and retain data for trend analysis, ensuring optimal system performance.

For this feature, you need to deploy CSDS Architecture outside of Juniper Security Director Cloud. For more information, see Connected Security Distributed Services Architecture Deployment Guide.
