Juniper Networks announced the launch of several new
enhancements to its Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite, which provides
integrated mobile security, secure connectivity and device management for a
wide range of mobile devices.
The latest version delivers new mobile device management
and security controls, as well as an API to allow service providers and OEMs to
integrate with the Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite management.
“Enterprises are being flooded with employee
requests to support new mobile devices, especially as more companies are
adopting a ‘Bring Your Own Device’ policy in response to employee demand for
anywhere, anytime access to corporate networks from their personal
devices,” said Sanjay Beri, vice president and general manager, Junos
Pulse Business Unit, Juniper Networks.
“The new mobile device configuration and management
features in Junos Pulse are designed to enable enterprises and service providers
to simply and cost effectively manage mobile devices, unburdening their IT
teams while also granting employees the secure mobile productivity and
flexibility they need,” Beri added.
With Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite, enterprises with
Apple iPads, iPhones and iPod touch devices attempting to access their networks
and resources can now enforce and set passcode policies, and provision and
remove Microsoft Exchange profiles also removing corporate-synched email,
contacts and calendar events, provision VPN and Wi-Fi settings, and inventory
and restrict applications that could introduce security risks.
With the new functionality, IT departments can also
locate and track lost or stolen Apple iOS-based devices through the Junos Pulse
Mobile Security Suite GPS locator, and then remotely lock the device and wipe
its contents.
Additionally, a policy-based user interface for Google
Android devices is now available in the Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite,
providing a near-zero touch antivirus client that only requires user
interaction when malware, spyware and non-compliant applications are detected.
The Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite now increases
support for automated registration to include BlackBerry and Apple iOS devices,
in addition to the previously supported Google Android devices.
Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite offers a scalable
on-demand mobile security infrastructure, through a secure cloud-based software
as a service (SaaS) allowing businesses to easily protect new user or
corporate-owned mobile devices.
The new API and OEM Toolkit allows service providers and
OEM partners to customize, integrate and co-brand their offerings, as well as
add security features quickly.
Recently, Juniper Networks announced
that Phonoscope, operator of the privately-owned fiber optic Metropolitan Area
Network in the U.S., has selected Juniper Networks routing solutions as its platform
of choice to support IPv4/IPv6 addressing transition and coexistence across its
46 multi-gigabit Ethernet fiber optic rings.
Phonoscope supplies customers on its network with a
variety of commercial and residential grade services and is making the
necessary investments to fully support IPv6, in anticipation of the future
depletion of IPv4 addresses.
