New weapon against cyber attacks

by

As our per­son­al and work worlds be­come more and more re­liant on con­nect­ed de­vices, the risks to busi­ness­es and gov­ern­ment agen­cies have grown in line with the size of their com­put­er net­works. Suc­cess­ful or at­tempt­ed cy­ber at­tacks have be­come com­mon place and Ju­niper Net­works–a busi­ness spe­cialised in se­cure net­works op­er­a­tional in T&T–has just an­nounced a break­through in their routers.

Ju­niper says it is on a mis­sion to tack­le the in­creas­ing scale and so­phis­ti­ca­tion of soft­ware de­fined threats. The com­pa­ny can do this with their phys­i­cal and vir­tu­al fire­walls, open threat in­tel­li­gence plat­forms, net­work switch­es and MX routers. The com­pa­ny part­nered with Ansa McAl Trad­ing to pro­vide these so­lu­tions in T&T.

"Ju­niper Net­works MX Routers are present in the world's largest ser­vice providers and it is proven that these ser­vice providers have been able to de­crease To­tal Cost of Own­er­ship on av­er­age of over 49 per cent," said Onil J Le­do, re­gion­al sales man­ag­er, Ju­niper Net­works Caribbean.

In ad­di­tion to the routers, the Ju­niper vS­RX has been un­veiled as the in­dus­try's first vir­tu­al fire­wall in a con­tainer­ized form fac­tor.

It is a cost ef­fec­tive ad­vanced se­cu­ri­ty ser­vice with the abil­i­ty to scale up to high mul­ti-ten­an­cy.

With its rich se­cu­ri­ty ca­pa­bil­i­ties, low foot­print and mi­cro ser­vices ar­chi­tec­ture, the vS­RX is not on­ly ex­pect­ed to low­er the cost to cus­tomers, but al­so makes de­ploy­ment through­out the net­work eas­i­er than ever be­fore but with­out com­pro­mis­ing per­for­mance.

Both the Ju­niper vS­RX and MX Routers prod­ucts are an­tic­i­pat­ed to en­able the net­work to bet­ter de­tect and com­bat threats.

These prod­ucts will al­so in­crease net­work rout­ing per­for­mance, in­tel­li­gence and a high den­si­ty of ser­vices.

Ju­niper's en­hance­ments to its vir­tu­al­ized se­cu­ri­ty port­fo­lio will al­low the net­work to stop threats faster.
