Overview

Juniper Networks offers a robust set of enterprise-class network security solutions for small businesses and branch offices alike. These include the Juniper Networks NetScreen-5GT, NetScreen-5GT ADSL, NetScreen-5GT Wireless and NetScreen-5XT appliances. These cost-effective, remote office security products are fully capable of securing a small remote office, retail outlet, or broadband telecommuter.

Juniper Networks NetScreen-5GT: The NetScreen-5GT appliance is a feature-rich, enterprise-class, network security solution that integrates a complete set of best-in-class UTM security features including IPS, Antivirus (includes Anti-Spyware, Anti-Adware, Anti-Phishing), Anti-Spam, and Web Filtering which allow the NetScreen-5GT to defend the network against worms, Spyware, Trojans, malware and other emerging attacks. The NetScreen-5GT Ethernet solution is ideal for environments that need hardwired connectivity backed by robust network, application and payload level security. The NetScreen-5GT Ethernet is available with five Ethernet interfaces that can be deployed in a wide variety of configurations.

Juniper Networks NetScreen-5GT ADSL: The NetScreen-5GT ADSL offers the same integrated UTM security functionality and adds ADSL connectivity, eliminating the need for an external ADSL modem and providing a cost effective security and ADSL routing platform. The NetScreen-5GT ADSL enhances security for remote offices, retail outlets or broadband telecommuters by taking full advantage of key security applications, routing protocols and resiliency features found in the Ethernet-based platforms to help ensure that network resources are not compromised.

Juniper Networks NetScreen-5GT Wireless: The NetScreen-5GT Wireless brings enterprise level UTM security applications, routing protocols and resiliency features to remote offices, retail outlets or broadband telecommuters that want to deploy 802.11b/g networks in a secure manner. The NetScreen-5GT Wireless offers administrators up to four configurable Wireless Security Zones each with a unique SSID that can be used to provision appropriate levels of security for different types of users. To help ensure wireless security, privacy and interoperability, the NetScreen-5GT Wireless supports a broad set of wireless authentication and privacy mechanisms. The NetScreen-5GT Wireless includes standard Ethernet connectivity with ADSL as a hardware option.

Juniper Networks NetScreen-5XT: The NetScreen-5XT is an enterprise-class network security solution integrating Stateful and Deep Inspection firewall, IPSec VPN, and DoS mitigation technology. It supports dial-backup or dual Ethernet ports for redundant Internet connections. The NetScreen-5XT appliance has received Common Criteria and FIPS certifications.

Features & Benefits

Key features and benefits of the NetScreen-5 series products include the following:

• Comprehensive set of Unified Threat Management (UTM) security features to protect against network and application level attacks while simultaneously stopping content-based attacks. UTM security features include:

  • IPS (Deep Inspection firewall) to stop application level attacks
  • Best-in-class antivirus based on the Kaspersky Lab scanning engine that includes Anti-Phishing, Anti-Spyware, Anti-Adware protection to stop viruses, Trojans and other malware before they damage the network
  • Anti-Spam via a partnership with Symantec to block known spammers and phishers
  • Web filtering using SurfControl to block access to known malicious download sites or other inappropriate web content
  • Site-to-site IPSec VPN to establish secure communications between offices
  • Denial of service (DoS) mitigation capabilities
  • Application Layer Gateways for H.323, SIP, SCCP and MGCP to inspect and protect VoIP traffic
• Restricted security zones (home / work zones) to protect corporate traffic and resources from unauthorized use and to separate them from non-business activity
• Restricted security zones (home / work zones) to protect corporate traffic and resources from unauthorized use and to separate them from non-business activity
• Configurable Wireless Security Zones each with a unique SSID that can be used to provision appropriate levels of security for different types of users (NetScreen-5GT Wireless appliance only)
• Support for a broad set of wireless authentication and privacy mechanisms to help ensure wireless security, privacy and interoperability (NetScreen-5GT Wireless appliance only)
• Device redundancy for high availability and to minimize the potential for a single point of failure
• Support for dial-backup or dual Ethernet ports for redundant Internet connections when network uptime is business-critical
• Reduction in failover time of a VPN connection with redundant VPN tunnels and VPN monitoring
• Rapid deployment to get a new device up and running for a small remote office or retail outlet without onsite IT staff and with minimal effort for the user (NetScreen-Security Manager required)
• Policy-based management for centralized, end-to-end life-cycle management
