In today’s world of dynamic corporate networks and ever-developing security threats, traditional network security can be imagined as an ancient castle. In this modern connected world, those ancient structures are crumbling.
Advanced persistent threats and other forms of covert malware can be detected by better network monitoring.
Effective protection of IoT devices will require multiple layers of security, including the network level.
The Internet of Things has been described as a ticking time bomb for data security, with every company involved in the long and complex delivery chain still scratching their heads on the best approach to defusing it.
After launching its Software-Defined Secure Network (SDSN) portfolio in 2016, Juniper Networks is delivering on its promise to support additional security vendors on the platform as it makes better use of cloud-hosted resources in malware detection and prevention.
