Juniper Networks today announced enhancements to its ScreenOS, the real-time, security-specific
operating system for its firewall (FW) and IPSec Virtual Private Network (VPN) appliances. The new ScreenOS 5.4 enhancements give customers new tools to battle emerging content security threats. Tools include best-in-class Unified Threat Management (UTM) security features, captive redirect and policy-based routing.
The Asia Pacific UTM (or integrated appliance) market has been forecast by Frost & Sullivan to grow by 39% annually over the period to 2010.
“We are very excited to offer customers a complete set of UTM security features, including IPS, Antivirus (includes Anti-Spyware, Anti-Adware, Anti-Phishing), Anti-Spam, and Web Filtering, for the SSG Family of products to help protect their networks against all manner of attacks. Combined with the proven stateful firewall and IPSec VPN, this complete set of UTM features will greatly increase network attack detection and prevention at branch offices,” said Matt Kolon, chief technology officer for Asia Pacific at Juniper Networks. “Juniper continues to provide the most secure FW/VPN solutions with integrated UTM security features to meet the heightened security and technology needs of organizations.” www.hardwarezone.com® :: News Flash At A Glance!
