0:06 good morning everybody

0:07 thanks for joining us this morning at

0:09 the juniper booth we're going to be

0:10 talking about our

0:12 zero trust data center and how we defend

0:15 the castle i'm going to

0:17 share with you a number of our

0:19 technologies that we use every day

0:22 in a full solution set across your data

0:25 center

0:27 obviously you've been hearing a lot

0:29 about our experience first networking

0:32 this is our strategy our concept

0:35 that we are focusing on the end user

0:38 experience

0:39 many folks talk about bits and bytes

0:41 they talk about

0:44 network management what we're really

0:46 focusing on is being able to operate a

0:48 network and deliver

0:50 a first experience to the customer so

0:53 everything that we're doing we're

0:54 focusing on the end user we want the end

0:57 users to be able to do what they need to

0:59 do every day do it in a safe and secure

1:02 fashion

1:03 protect your assets

1:04 but in an experienced

1:07 first manner

1:09 right

1:10 experience first means building a

1:12 trustworthy network how do you build a

1:15 trustworthy network you make sure it's

1:17 secure make sure it's safe

1:19 we focus on reliability there's a cia

1:22 methodology behind

1:24 security and we make sure that your

1:26 networks are not just available it's not

1:29 enough to have an available network you

1:31 need to make sure that you have a secure

1:34 available network without impacting the

1:36 end users and delivering your end user

1:39 experience

1:40 users and devices are protected

1:43 and they are still safeguarding your

1:46 data regardless of where it is

1:49 and we are focusing on accelerating your

1:52 business agility in a safe and secure

1:55 manner

1:58 so what should security do we should

2:00 protect our apps

2:02 we should be able to protect our

2:04 workloads in any environment our

2:06 workloads now are becoming distributed

2:09 whether they are in public clouds

2:11 private clouds

2:13 distributed edge networks

2:15 your data and your workloads can be

2:17 anywhere now with the

2:19 advances in container

2:21 apps and workloads we're able to easily

2:24 quickly scale and accelerate

2:27 uh your

2:29 performance through distributed

2:30 computing and that means your workloads

2:33 and your data are all over the place

2:37 we're able to protect access to the data

2:39 center this is something we've been

2:40 doing for

2:41 you know from day one uh this is

2:43 something we're very very good at

2:46 but with the advances in

2:49 your edge computing and distributed data

2:51 and workloads we need to think outside

2:55 of the typical data center

2:58 with the advances in campus and branch

3:01 literally a campus or actually more like

3:03 a branch could now mean a single user

3:06 out in a remote office or at their home

3:10 so we need to make the home

3:12 workplace look just like the office

3:14 workplace since the pandemic has hit now

3:17 our data is all over the place we need

3:20 to protect those workloads and those

3:21 apps

3:23 and then obviously

3:25 a fundamental to all of this is to be

3:27 able to deliver the visibility

3:29 and the insight from the client all the

3:33 way down to the workload so from the

3:35 remote branches from the remote offices

3:37 from the home users all the way back to

3:39 the data center wherever that data

3:41 center happens to be whether it's public

3:43 or private or distributed

3:48 so this is one slide i kind of want to

3:50 focus on here and this is our

3:52 zero trust data center architecture

3:55 this shows all of our different products

3:57 that you would want to consider in

3:59 building

4:00 your xero trust data center this focuses

4:04 obviously on the data center firewalls

4:06 whether they are physical in a public

4:08 cloud or private cloud we have a virtual

4:11 both container and virtual vms in

4:15 public clouds

4:16 we have our data center cloud connects

4:19 our intra data centers and your

4:21 workloads could be in any one of these

4:23 areas so

4:25 let me just kind of go through here

4:27 quick we've got our srx's our

4:29 traditional firewalls next-gen firewalls

4:32 uh they're running anything from appsec

4:34 idp 80 atp our advanced threat

4:38 protection our second intel and one

4:40 thing i want you to focus on here is

4:42 everywhere that our second tell is our

4:44 second tell is not just on firewalls

4:46 second tell is on our routers our second

4:48 tail can be on our switches our second

4:50 toe can be everywhere that's part of our

4:52 connected security strategy if you've

4:54 not heard that term or if you have any

4:56 questions about connected security

4:58 please let me know i'll be able to

5:00 happily uh show you and share with you

5:02 what that really means to you

5:04 we're able to

5:06 continue on we've got our mx routers

5:09 that also connect with an spc3 card

5:13 can be our your firewall on a very high

5:16 performance

5:17 router for your data center

5:19 interconnects or for your internet

5:20 gateways

5:21 we have our vsrx

5:23 again

5:24 full stack

5:26 capabilities here with appsec and idp

5:29 and ipsec

5:30 one thing i didn't want to point out on

5:31 the mx back here is our ability to run

5:34 carrera

5:35 we have carrero

5:37 defense detector

5:38 which is a very very highly advanced

5:41 ddos protection so on your internet

5:44 gateways you want to run a very advanced

5:47 capability for threat defense

5:50 for your anti-ddos

5:53 protections

5:54 you also see that we can run second tell

5:56 apsec and idp on the

5:59 mx there as well

6:02 in the intradc we have our vsrx our

6:05 containerized srx and next slide i'll

6:08 talk about

6:09 one of our other capabilities of

6:11 delivering micro segmentation down to

6:15 the workload down to the hypervisor

6:18 within our

6:19 data center with our appstra

6:22 intent-based networking tool

6:25 and then obviously above all of this is

6:28 it's like

6:29 cut out there management and

6:31 orchestration with astra and our

6:33 security director cloud

6:35 we also have our juniper security

6:37 analytics that provides the

6:41 visibility and the analytics

6:43 for everything whether it's security

6:46 network workload public private

6:49 everything gets dumped in there and

6:51 we're able to do machine learning and be

6:54 able to

6:55 drive

6:56 intent

6:58 and

7:00 the ability to

7:02 quickly correlate events uh throughout

7:05 your entire environment regardless of

7:07 the source of the event

7:10 [Music]

7:12 so i talked about our intent-based data

7:14 center fabric with our appstra

7:17 this is a new acquisition to juniper a

7:20 little over a year ago

7:22 and

7:23 it's been a great addition to our

7:26 platform it's the

7:28 industry's only

7:30 multi-vendor data center fabric

7:32 management tool

7:34 whether you're looking for segmentation

7:35 down to the workload segmentation down

7:37 to the bare metal server segmentation

7:39 down to the hypervisor

7:41 we can use appstra to manage your day

7:44 zero day one day two segmentation uh

7:48 continuous assured and repeatable

7:52 segmentation down to your workloads

7:54 right

7:55 integrates

7:56 with our srx talks with our

8:00 carrero tdd

8:02 handles your dci interconnects all in a

8:05 safe secure and reliable methodology

8:12 and then uh kind of start to close it

8:14 out here um you know any app anywhere

8:17 you know one great thing about juniper

8:19 security is we are driving everything

8:23 regardless of the location of the

8:24 workload with one policy single policy

8:28 framework

8:29 i don't care if that workload is at the

8:31 distributed edge if it's at the branch

8:33 if it's at the data center public

8:35 private

8:36 hybrid whatever

8:38 we can manage it with one policy many

8:41 many times customers come to us and they

8:44 talk to us about all the different

8:45 policies that they have to manage and

8:48 they literally have multiple teams that

8:51 are managing multiple policies depending

8:53 on where the workload depending on where

8:55 the assets are located we don't need to

8:58 have you do that that's not needed with

9:00 juniper policy frameworks right single

9:02 policy to manage your entire

9:04 infrastructure i don't care if you've

9:06 got 10 firewalls if you've got 400 or 4

9:09 000 firewalls

9:11 well you can do this with one

9:13 policy

9:14 all right super super powerful

9:18 what does that one policy give you

9:20 network wide visibility right regardless

9:22 of where

9:23 the data is coming where it's going

9:26 one

9:27 uh one single piece of network-wide

9:30 visibility right

9:32 dynamic and consistent policy one of the

9:34 big places where people get into trouble

9:36 when they're trying to do audits and

9:38 compliances

9:39 is

9:40 managing that policy sprawl where you

9:43 updated something on one policy but you

9:45 forgot to update it somewhere else

9:47 we don't have to worry about that we

9:48 have one policy to maintain across your

9:50 entire infrastructure

9:52 right

9:53 with that we're able to easily stop

9:56 and compromise and lateral movements

9:59 of your data

10:01 and

10:02 with that we also deliver very high

10:05 performance and very good security right

10:08 in other presentations we've talked

10:09 about our security efficacy if you have

10:12 any questions uh you want to know how we

10:14 do

10:15 our security efficacy please see me or

10:18 any of the rest of us after this

10:19 presentation we'll be happy to show you

10:21 our third-party results

10:24 from independent analysis

10:29 so this kind of goes to show our single

10:31 policy framework regardless of where the

10:33 users are located whether we've got

10:35 campus and branch with the next-gen

10:37 firewalls pushed out there secure remote

10:40 work

10:40 force with secure web gateways

10:43 we've got the internet sas applications

10:47 and then we've got our public and

10:48 private

10:49 data center

10:50 clouds

10:54 that's pretty much it

10:56 please don't hesitate to jump up here

10:58 this was

11:00 meant to be kind of a teaser

11:02 of all the different uh areas in the

11:04 data center

11:05 that we are working to protect your data

11:09 and working to protect your users and

11:11 deliver an experience first networking

11:14 but we've got lots of demos anybody

11:16 that's walking around with an ipad

11:18 pretty could you hold up your ipad

11:20 there you go any of those folks there

11:22 will be able to

11:24 be happy to show you uh demos

11:26 anybody that wants t-shirt please come

11:29 on over

11:30 and thank you guys very much
