As the frequency and sophistication of network attacks increases, it’s increasingly important that you stay one step ahead. You can no longer just rely on solutions that merely react to new threats. Your solution must proactively protect your network based on newly found vulnerabilities and at times, even offer attack coverage before they run rampant. To secure your network from new viruses and attacks, your security solution must offer multiple attack detection methods and an efficient way to use the various capabilities. To stay one step ahead of these attacks, you need a solution that can adapt to ever-changing security threats and allow you to do so with minimal effort.

Most comprehensive attack coverage available

One of the top concerns in deployment of any IDP solution is false positives. Incorrectly identifying valid access and traffic as an attack could at times be just as damaging as a true attack. Critical business activities can be delayed and additional IT resources needed to investigate and determine the nature of the false positives.

Juniper Networks IDP solution with its Stateful Signature Detection dramatically reduces false positives by examining the traffic in the context of the application. With full understanding of the application and its relevant traffic, Juniper Networks IDP solution can pinpoint the signature pattern-matching to the exact location where an attack can occur.

This application layer intelligence dramatically reduces the number of false positives compared to IDP solutions utilizing traditional non-stateful signature detection. In addition to the improved accuracy of the detection, the throughput of the solution is also optimized as the pattern detection is applied only to relevant network traffic.

Most comprehensive attack coverage available

Juniper Networks IDP solution with its Multi-Method Detection (MMD™), offers comprehensive coverage by leveraging multiple detection mechanisms. For example, by utilizing signatures, as well as other detection methods including protocol anomaly traffic anomaly detection, Juniper Networks IDP solution can thwart known attacks as well as possible future variations of the attack.

Backed by Juniper Networks Security Lab, signatures for detection of new attacks are generated on a daily basis. Working very closely with many software vendors to assess new vulnerabilities, it’s not uncommon for Juniper IDP solution to be equipped to thwart attacks which have not yet occurred. Such day-zero coverage ensures that you’re not merely reacting to new attacks, but proactively securing your network from future attacks.

Real-world performance without sacrificing security

Network throughput capacity of IDP solutions by itself often lends very little to the true performance of the appliance in a real-world environment. Many IDP solutions can exhibit very high throughput when only few attacks are being monitored. When more and more attack detections are enabled, the overall throughput can degrade. Also, while some appliances ship with default coverage settings optimized for performance, these settings often do not include the necessary attack coverage necessary in real-world deployments.

The throughput of Juniper Networks IDP solutions span wide range enterprise and service provider needs from 150 Mbps to 10 Gbps. All performance measurements are conducted in real-world deployment scenarios and are indicative of performance customers can expect when installing the IDP appliances in their network.
