Juniper Networks announced new offerings as part of its Juniper Networks Advanced
Threat Prevention (JATP) Appliances, enabling enterprises to detect malware,
understand behavior 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 organization's
security posture by simplifying and accelerating security operations.
Sixty-four percent of security teams surveyed said
that speeding up threat analysis and prioritizing threats with automation would
improve their security posture, according to a Juniper Networks and Ponemon
Institute study. High volumes of
incident data generated by numerous, disparate sources make threat detection
and mitigation increasingly difficult. To uncover critical threat behavior,
already-understaffed security teams spend significant time analyzing 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.
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 customization controls for security analysts
to collect, parse and pinpoint specific data without relying on outsourced
customizations. 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 behavior details to the forefront
more quickly. The JATP Appliances provide up to 12x productivity gains over
manual processes for malware investigations.
With the continual advancement of its unified cybersecurity platform
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 behavior to stop threats as quickly and effectively as
possible.
- Seamless Integration of Security Data from any Network Source: Building upon the platform's open architecture,
the JATP Appliances can now quickly capture, parse and leverage data from
all security sources in the network through 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 Networks JATP400 Advanced Threat
Prevention Appliance for Distributed Enterprises: As part
of Juniper'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.
"We
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."
