Is your institution planning to leverage cloud computing and mobile computing in order to improve service agility, increase increase student and research success and lower costs of ownership, and lower capital expenses? If so, you are no doubt aware that your institution is also increasing its attack surface. Cloud-based technologies, smartphones, social media and mobile applications give cybercriminals and hackers more opportunities to find weak points in your defenses and unpatched vulnerabilities on your systems and devices. A single Achilles\u2019 heel can result in a loss of confidential information and intellectual property worth millions of dollars. To keep your data and network safe, and to succeed as what Juniper Networks calls a \u201cCloud-Enabled Enterprise,\u201d your organization must overcome three security challenges.<\/p>\n
You need to:<\/p>\n
1. Integrate and deploy a comprehensive set of security services to detect and block an expanding array of threats.<\/p>\n
2. Close the gap between intelligence and enforcement to cope with zero-day and advanced targeted attacks.<\/p>\n
3. Leverage centralized visibility and management to identify and address threats wherever they are detected inside or outside the network perimeter. This short paper provides an overview of how Juniper Networks helps you address these three challenges and protect data as your organization evolves into a Cloud-Enabled Enterprise.<\/p>\n
Integrate and Deploy a Comprehensive Set of Security Services<\/strong><\/p>\n Today you need to defend against a widening array of attack techniques. Threat actors are devising new types of obfuscated malware for zero-day attacks, new spear phishing and social engineering techniques, and new forms of advanced persistent threats (APTs) that can hide on your network for weeks or months. To counter these threats, you not only need to deploy a range of diverse security technologies, you must be able to deploy and manage them cost-effectively. In addition, you need to make sure\u00a0that your security solutions are integrated, so that an attack detected by one technology can be blocked by another. Yet supporting and integrating multiple point products is very expensive and difficult. You can count on Juniper Networks to address these issues with its SRX Series Services Gateways and the new Sky Advanced Threat Prevention service. SRX Series Services Gateways provide a wide variety of critical security services, including: \u2022 Stateful firewall capabilities \u2022 Unified threat management (UTM) technologies such as antivirus, antispam, web filtering and content filtering \u2022 Intrusion prevention system (IPS) capabilities \u2022 Protection against denial of service (DoS) and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks \u2022 Application firewall and application quality of service (QoS) features \u2022 SSL encryption and decryption and support for IPSec VPN tunnels These security services are integrated with core firewall capabilities. For example, attacks detected by the IPS features can be blocked automatically by the firewall.<\/p>\n Close the Gap Between Intelligence and Enforcement<\/strong><\/p>\n We know that threat intelligence is a critical weapon in the war against cybercriminals and hackers. Threat intelligence allows security defenses to block probes and detect advanced attacks before they can do serious damage. But threat intelligence loses most of its value if it is distributed too slowly, or if it doesn\u2019t reach all of the enterprise\u2019s enforcement points. Fortunately, you can close the gap between intelligence and enforcement with Spotlight Secure and network security management with Junos Space Security Director from Juniper Networks.<\/p>\n Leveraging Centralized Visibility and Management<\/strong><\/p>\n Today you have to assume that some attackers will be able to penetrate the perimeter and establish beachheads inside. That means your team needs to be able to spot suspicious activities anywhere they occur, even in the far corners of the network. You also need to take immediate action to shut down outbound communication to the attacker\u2019s command and control servers, and to update firewalls across the enterprise so they can stop further penetrations by the attackers. The Junos Space Security Director gives you centralized visibility and management of essential security services (Figure 2). Key features of Security Director related to visibility include: \u2022 An easily customized dashboard, with predefined widgets to track key threats and trends and fast drill-down to indepth security data \u2022 Threat maps, graphs, and other visualization tools to make issues visible at a glance and speed up the analysis of threat patterns. \u2022 Clear, intuitively organized views of security events and policy rules, with features to filter, sort and aggregate key data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Is your institution planning to leverage cloud computing and mobile computing in order to improve service agility, increase increase student and research success and lower costs of ownership, and lower capital expenses?
