Juniper Secure Edge Overview

Benefits of Juniper Secure Edge

• Secure the Remote Workforce—Support the WFA workforce wherever users are located. Security policies follow the user wherever they go, whether they’re on or off the network.

• Single-Policy Framework: Use the same policy framework as with the SRX Series Firewalls and apply security policies to remote users and branch sites. Create policies once and apply everywhere with unified policy management, including user- and application-based access, IPS, anti-malware and secure web access within a single policy framework.

• Leverage Existing Investments—Moving to a cloud-based security architecture shouldn’t mean abandoning existing IT investments. Organizations can transition at their own pace without forcing administrators to toggle between separate management platforms for on-premises and cloud-delivered security. Juniper customers can use the physical, virtual, containerized SRX firewalls, and now cloud-delivered Secure Edge services, completely managed by Security Director Cloud with a single-policy framework, allowing for full visibility and consistent security across both the edge and the data center from one UI.

• Dynamic User Segmentation Based on Zero Trust Principles—Maintain the security of data around identity- and risk-driven policies. Juniper Secure Edge delivers a consistent security policy framework with policies that automatically adapt based on new risk and attack vectors and follow the user wherever they go, providing secure access to employees and third-party contractors through granular policy control, to further protect data by adhering to Zero Trust principles.

• Security Assurance—Whether it’s a rule for a traditional firewall policy or policy delivered as a service, it’s important that rules are placed in the proper order to be effective when needed. With Juniper Secure Edge organizations can utilize Security Director Cloud’s automation, and duplicate and shadowed rules are flagged before committed. Rule hit counts are highlighted so administrators can quickly make changes, ensuring that policies are effective for the intended users at the intended time, and makes cleaning up deprecated rules easy for the organization when they know these rules are no longer in use. This takes a big chunk of the stress out of day-to-day operations.

• Integrate with Any Identity Provider—Juniper Secure Edge is flexible and easily integrates with any identity service to define user-based policies and application usage based on individual users or user groups via direct integration with Azure AD and Okta, and SAML 2.0 support to integrate with all other identity services.

• Proven Security Effectiveness—Validated protection from attacks that is more than 99% effective against client- and server-side exploits, malware and C2 traffic, regardless of where the users and applications are located, ensuring consistent security enforcement.

Note:

Juniper Secure Edge does not support dynamic routing protocols such as BGP, OSPF, or RIP. It operates as a cloud-delivered SSE service and uses IPsec tunnels with static routing for site connectivity. For deployments requiring dynamic routing capabilities, consider integrating JSE with Juniper's AI-Driven SD-WAN solution or SRX Series devices that support these protocols.
