About Juniper Networks' solutions
Juniper Networks solutions, in line with best practices like COBIT or ISO17799, enable the implementation of the specific controls that are most appropriate for regulatory compliance. Juniper's offerings support the most critical areas of regulatory compliance:
Securing stored data
Organisations must secure stored data to ensure its integrity and privacy. Juniper offers:
- Firewalls and intrusion detection and prevention (IDP) to secure data from malicious and unintentional attacks and intrusions, whether they originate from outside or within the organisation
- WAN optimisation through the WX platform, enabling organisations to move data from branch offices into centralised data centres for better control and security
Controlling access to data
Many forms of compliance require that organisations provide varying levels of access to their users. Juniper Networks can meet this need through:
- Its Unified Access Control solution, which – along with internal firewalls and access rules – can enforces privacy restrictions for LAN users
- SSL VPNs, MPLS-based VPNs and firewall security zones to enforce privacy rules for remote users in distributed and extended organisations
Ensuring data availability
Many compliance regulations require that data must be readily available. Juniper Networks' products support high-availability configurations to increase uptime, including:
- J-Series routers to utilise redundant hardware and modular software to enhance network availability
- M-series routers for data centre gateways, providing BGP support and IP/MPLS automated failover options to ensure network uptime in the case of ISP failure
- Data centre acceleration platforms that maximise server uptime to ensure the availability of applications and data
Monitoring network events
Organisations must be ready to demonstrate the effectiveness of their controls to auditors. In addition, regulations often require active monitoring and reporting of network events. Juniper Networks can meet these requirements through:
- Its intrusion detection and prevention (IDP) products, which provide deep visibility into network traffic, and comprehensive reporting of content, alarms and events
- Routers, firewalls and SSL VPNs that product thorough log reports of network traffic.
