Juniper Networks, an industry leader in automated, scalable and secure networks, has introduced Juniper Contrail Security, a new security and micro-segmentation solution designed specifically to help enterprises and SaaS (software-as-a-service) cloud providers to protect applications running in multiple cloud environments.
Contrail Security helps prevent the risks associated with cloud-based applications. With this solution, Juniper Networks is aiming to transform the way enterprises and SaaS cloud providers protect, manage and monitor their cloud-native applications in heterogeneous environments. Contrail Security, combined with the automated threat detection and enforcement of Juniper’s Software Defined Secure Networks platform, will facilitate a truly unified cybersecurity platform, able to adaptively respond to any threat.
According to Juniper, Contrail Security helps prevent security threats in companies through the following:
- Consistent intent-driven policy: Streamlines policy creation by enabling administrators to define intent using simple terms that allow smart micro-segmentation across diverse cloud environments including OpenStack, Kubernetes, bare metal servers and public cloud.
- Multiple enforcement points: Leverages distributed security and networking policies to orchestrate defence and protect applications from threats. Contrail Security integrates with next-generation virtual firewalls to enable advanced security services and ensures that businesses are protected.
• Application traffic visibility and advanced analytics: Delivers visualisation, analytics and orchestration across hybrid cloud environments while reducing risks from unauthorised traffic with application-to-application flow discovery. It also provides a deep insight into application interactions, and helps leverage machine learning to detect anomalies and take corrective actions.
