Juniper Networks Secure Access SSL VPN appliances lead the market with secure remote access solutions that meet the needs of organizations of every size

The world’s IT leaders choose Juniper Networks Secure Access SSL VPN appliances more often thanks to the affordable, full-featured flexibility these solutions provide. The product family includes models sized to meet the needs of small businesses with limited IT experience all the way up to high-capacity products for large enterprises requiring the utmost authentication, authorization, and auditing (AAA) capabilities for employee, partner (extranet) and customer access.

All models use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) transport, the secure access protocol built into every standard Web browser. SSL sessions enable any Web-enabled device such as a corporate laptop, PDA, or kiosk to be able to securely access an organization’s resources without the cost and complexity of installing, configuring, and maintaining any client software for each user. The temporary VPN connections that SSL browsers establish also eliminate the firewall and Network Address Translation (NAT) issues of traditional IPSec VPN products.

While almost any endpoint device is capable of accessing resources via SSL VPN, the Juniper Networks Secure Access appliances can be set to insist upon a number of preconditions when necessary. For example, even before a login is allowed, the appliance can be set to check the requesting device’s network and device settings, including scanning for malware such as keystroke loggers and verifying operation of endpoint security software such as antivirus applications and personal firewalls. The requestor’s IP address, browser type, and digital certificates can also be examined before login is allowed, and the results can be used to grant or deny access based on corporate security policies.

The Juniper Networks Secure Access appliances provide security for all enterprise tasks with options for increasingly stringent levels of access control to protect the most sensitive applications and data.
