Juniper Networks Enables Secure Enterprise Network Access From Any Device Without
Burdening IT Managers
Enhanced Simply Connected Portfolio Simplifies and Secures Bring-Your-Own-Device
With Holistic Approach to Unified Policy and Mobile Access
SUNNYVALE, CA, May 02, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Juniper Networks (JNPR),
the industry leader in network innovation, announced additions to its Simply
Connected portfolio available today that simplify and secure mobile device access
to enterprise networks. With new unified policy enforcement that is simplified
and automated, IT managers can now set and automatically enforce consistent
security and access policies across every wired, wireless and mobile connection
from company-issued, personal and guest devices. This new approach ultimately
reduces the burden on IT managers who struggle with bring-your-own-device (BYOD)
administration and security enforcement access policies.
As the influx of personal devices accessing corporate networks, clouds and
applications continues to disrupt enterprise environments, IT managers are faced
with new security challenges that bring emerging, complex threats from mobile
devices and new end-user applications.
Unlike solutions built for traditional networks with static policies and
inconsistent enforcement, Juniper's unified policy enforcement provides IT
managers with granular control over user access to enterprise networks based on
who they are, where they are, what applications they are using, and from what
device.
