Juniper Networks has launched its new Juniper Secure AI-Native Edge solution, which combines AI-Native and cloud-native network operations with one of the leading efficacy security solution.

According to the company, by integrating best-in-class network and security operations together under a single cloud and Mist AI engine, customers and partners have a holistic, integrated solution that accelerates the detection, diagnosis and resolution of potential network threats in various environments.

Bringing network operations closer together

Key to the Juniper Secure AI-Native Edge solution is the new Mist Security Assurance software subscription.

With this cloud-hosted offering, Juniper continues to bring security and network operations closer together in an integrated format.

Through a single dashboard, administrators can configure authentication policies for users, application policies for which applications users can access, plus traffic steering policies to guide how they want users to access these applications, with end-to-end user experience and security insights that help operations teams identify and enforce unified security policies effectively, the company says.

The Juniper Secure AI-Native Edge leverages integrated SRX security that has high-level efficacy, having received an industry-best 99+ percent score in the most recent Cyber Ratings Enterprise Firewall test. 

This independent assessment analyses various critical factors, including zero-day complex threats, malware detection rates, response times and false positives.

Juniper also stands out for its advanced threat intelligence and machine learning capabilities, along with AI-based behaviour detection at line rates without impacting performance, which can be leveraged to detect and prevent known and unknown threats in real time.

Seamless configuration

“Juniper is addressing the market’s demand for simplified management and enhanced collaboration by integrating its security products into the Mist Cloud, which will allow for seamless configuration and provisioning across network security (SSE, firewall) and enterprise networking (LAN/WLAN, branch and data center) solutions, improving security posture, visibility and control,” said Mauricio Sanchez, Senior Research Director, Dell’Oro Group.

“By enhancing the Mist platform with these capabilities, Juniper is delivering more integrated enterprise networking solutions that align with the evolving needs of today’s digital-first enterprise.”

Providing a more flexible approach

“CISOs and CIOs face a stark choice today, with proliferating, evolving cyber threats on one hand and business demands for faster, greater digital transformation on the other.

“Because traditional security offerings lack the necessary intelligence and automation to adapt to this paradigm, a different, more flexible approach is needed to deliver the seamless, holistic protection and performance that is imperative for the modern digital organisation.

“Juniper Secure AI-Native Edge leverages the combined power and agility of Juniper’s industry-leading security efficacy and AIOps to provide the answer.”
