18: Juniper Security Concepts

Security Challenges

Threat surface is increasing. Greater vulnerability to cybercrime.

Security used to be considered as a tradeoff with usability; this is no longer the case. Security is required.

Juniper Connected Security Components

Focus points:

• Performance (of the network)
• Efficacy
• Scalability
• Automation
• Centralised control

The SRX wraps many security roles into one appliance or virtual device:

• Routing
• NAT
• Stateful firewall
• VPN
• Analytics

Juniper Advanced Threat Protection (JATP) and SecIntel.

IoT devices often have security flaws due to short development time and limitd resources. JATP/SecIntel maintain lists of command and control (C&C) servers and can shut down IoT device attacks.
