Juniper Networks Helps Enterprises Simplify Data Integration to Pinpoint and Prioritise Cyber Threats from any Security Source

Updates to the Juniper Advanced Threat Prevention portfolio leverages third-party firewalls and security data sources to offer enterprises a fast, flexible and automated defense against malicious activity
ย 
Juniper Networks,ย an industry leader in automated, scalable and secure networks, today announced new offerings as part of its Juniper Networksยฎ Advanced Threat Prevention (JATP) Appliances, enabling enterprises to detect malware, understand behaviour and mitigate threats with just one touch. This solution leverages data from any third-party firewall or security data source, avoiding unnecessary vendor lock-in. Eliminating complex, time-consuming data collection configurations, Juniper is helping security teams improve their organisationโ€™s security posture by simplifying and accelerating security operations.
ย 
Sixty-four percent of security teams surveyed said that speeding up threat analysis and prioritising threats with automation would improve their security posture, according to a Juniper Networks and Ponemon Instituteย study. High volumes of incident data generated by numerous, disparate sources make threat detection and mitigation increasingly difficult. To uncover critical threat behaviour, already-understaffed security teams spend significant time analysing and correlating alerts, ultimately increasing time to remediation. Security teams also face the manual tasks of creating one-off custom integrations to ingest relevant data from these sources.
ย 
To address these challenges, Juniper Networks today revealed new capabilities that build upon the open architecture of its unified cybersecurity platform. Now security teams can easily create custom data collectors right in the JATP Appliances platform, enabling the ingestion of threat data from any Juniper or third-party firewall. Leveraging an intuitive user interface without the need for custom code or pre-defined integrations, Juniper is simplifying operations in multi-vendor environments. This new capability introduces easy-to-use customisation controls for security analysts to collect, parse and pinpoint specific data without relying on outsourced customisations. It also automatically integrates with the single, comprehensive timeline view offered by the JATP Appliances, streamlining investigation and remediation by bringing the most important threat behaviour details to the forefront more quickly. The JATP Appliances provide up to 12x productivity gains over manual processes for malware investigations.
ย 
With the continual advancement of itsย unified cybersecurity platformย powered by Software-Defined Secure Networks (SDSN), Juniper helps security teams pinpoint evasive threats hiding deep in the network while showing a temporal view of behaviour to stop threats as quickly and effectively as possible.

News Highlights:

ย 
  • Seamless Integration of Security Data from any Network Source: Building upon the platformโ€™s open architecture, the JATP Appliances can now quickly capture, parse and leverage data from all security sources in the network through its built-in custom data collectors, eliminating the need for outsourced and time-consuming configurations. Once the dataset is defined, it seamlessly flows into the JATP Appliances threat behavior timeline, empowering security teams to quickly see what happened and when in an intuitive user interface. This new capability supports multiple log format types, including XML, JSON and CSV, and is complementary to existing SIEM functionality. 
  • Juniper Networksยฎย Advanced Threat Prevention Applianceย for Distributed Enterprises: As part of Juniperโ€™s continued efforts to provide superior protection from malicious activity, this new on-premises device is the ideal option for security teams that require automated threat prevention capabilities across their distributed enterprise. The JATP400 Appliance works alongside any existing firewall, reducing the need for complex integrations and with the built-in timeline view, security teams are able to mitigate threats with just one touch.ย 
โ€œWe have been very pleased with Juniperโ€™s best-in-class unified cybersecurity platform, which has helped protect us against threats more easily and faster than before, mitigating the risk of disruption to our shows, websites and other media sources and protecting our intellectual property. With Juniperโ€™s security platform, weโ€™ve been smarter, leaner and more efficient with our network. Weโ€™re looking forward to these new additions to their portfolio and continuing to leverage Juniperโ€™s products to protect our company against a wide range of threats.โ€
— Dustin Brandt, director of IT, Americaโ€™s Test Kitchen
ย 
โ€œAs a longtime partner of Juniper, we have seen its unified cybersecurity platform continue to grow into the robust security offering it is today. We believe that these newly added JATP400 capabilities will enable our customers, including distributed enterprises, to quickly identify and intuitively fight threats by adding much needed automation to their security portfolio.โ€
— Patrick Zanella, Security Practice Lead, Integration Partners
ย 
โ€œWe are immensely proud of the progress we have made to date with our unified cybersecurity platform and are excited to announce the newest addition to our portfolio, JATP400 Appliance, along with the addition of our latest threat detection capabilities. The new custom data collectors, in particular, will give our customers a fast and flexible way to gain a better view of their network from all angles, using their security data to quickly identify advanced threats directly from the JATP Appliances. We look forward to bringing these new capabilities to enterprises and taking another step toward truly secure networks.โ€
— Samantha Madrid, vice president of security business and strategy at Juniper Networks
