AppSecure Description
As network infrastructure and the threats targeting that infrastructure continue to evolve,
so too must the network security solutions adopted to protect organizations. At the same
time, the latest generation of web-based applications and the proliferation of mobile
devices provide an increasingly challenging task for network administrators to effectively
manage traffic flows and access to data while delivering the right mix of security and
network services. In the past, network administrators would simply buy a new appliance
to overcome a security or network issue. However, that approach leads to greater network
complexity, excessive management overhead, and poor overall performance.
Today’s network security solutions must not only have the right architecture to deliver the
appropriate mix of performance and scale in this evolving network environment, but must
also deliver the right security services to give administrators visibility and control over
the types of applications now traversing their networks. Juniper Networks® AppSecure
is a suite of application-aware security services for the Juniper Networks SRX Series
Services Gateways that classify traffic flows, bringing greater visibility, enforcement,
control, and protection to network security. AppSecure uses a sophisticated classification
engine to accurately identify applications regardless of port or protocol, including nested
applications that reside within trusted network services.
The result is a powerful tool that helps bring context and clarity to the setting and
enforcement of security policies, provides protection against common evasion techniques,
and helps stop modern malware attacks, all while delivering the industry’s highest
performance and scale. AppSecure gives security administrators the context to regain
control of their network traffic, set and enforce policies based on accurate information,
and deliver the performance and scale required to address business needs. The services
that are enabled by AppSecure include: AppTrack for detailed visibility of application
traffic; AppFW for granular policy enforcement of application traffic; AppQoS to prioritize
and meter application traffic; and AppDoS for greater control over the latest breed
of botnet attacks targeting applications. AppSecure also works with the SRX Series’
integrated intrusion prevention system (IPS) solution to deliver deeper protection against
zero-day attacks.
