Juniper Networks has unveiled its new Juniper Secure AI-Native Edge solution, which integrates the company’s renowned AI-Native and cloud-native network operations with its leading security solutions. This launch addresses the increasing need for organisations to have a unified approach to network and security operations, significantly enhancing threat detection and resolution.
The Secure AI-Native Edge solution consolidates SD-WAN (WAN assurance), security (security assurance), and NAC (access assurance) under a single cloud platform powered by Mist AI. This integration simplifies security and network operations across domains, lowering Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for businesses. With this solution, customers and partners can achieve seamless and secure Universal Zero Trust Network Access (uZTNA) deployments in the future.
A key feature of this solution is the introduction of the Mist Security Assurance software subscription, a cloud-hosted service designed to converge security and network management. Through a single dashboard, administrators can easily configure user authentication policies, manage application access, and steer traffic while gaining insights into security and user experience. This unified approach enhances the ability of teams to enforce comprehensive security policies effectively.
The solution is powered by Juniper SRX security, which recently achieved a remarkable 99+ percent efficacy score in the Cyber Ratings Enterprise Firewall test. This independent evaluation highlights the solution’s capability to detect and prevent both known and unknown threats, including zero-day attacks, malware, and more, without compromising network performance.
In addition to its cutting-edge firewall capabilities, the Secure AI-Native Edge solution integrates advanced threat intelligence and AI-driven behavior detection, ensuring real-time identification and mitigation of threats. This comprehensive security approach is seamlessly aligned with Juniper’s AI-Native Networking Platform, which leverages AI-based automation to optimise both security and network operations.
According to industry experts, Juniper’s Secure AI-Native Edge represents a significant advancement for enterprises looking to combine network performance with enhanced security. It allows IT and security teams to make faster, data-driven decisions, ultimately improving response times to potential threats.
With this integrated solution, Juniper is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for simplified management, enhanced visibility, and seamless security across various environments, helping organisations better navigate the challenges of the digital era while reducing complexity and cost.
