RSA, The Security Division of EMC EMC and Juniper Networks JNPR, the industry leader in network innovation, today announced their intent
to expand their technology partnership designed to help customers stop the
wave of advanced threats targeting their networks and securely enable mobile
access to applications for increased productivity.
As the limits of legacy security techniques such as IP-based reputation
databases and signature-based anti-virus products become more evident,
customers increasingly need to rely on threat intelligence to help stop
advanced threats. Today, intelligence operations — whether military,
counterterrorism, or cyber security — rely on the breadth of sources and
techniques to be as effective as possible. Unfortunately, broad scale
intelligence sharing amongst IT security vendors is limited, leaving customers
with serious visibility gaps into the threat landscape.
RSA and Juniper are addressing these limitations by creating a technology
partnership that would provide extensive intelligence sharing between the
RSA^® Live threat intelligence delivery service and Juniper Networks Junos^®
Spotlight Secure global attacker intelligence service. RSA intends to use this
to extend threat visibility and analytics within RSA^® Security Analytics,
providing deeper insight and visibility of threats to customers. Juniper
intends to embed this additional intelligence into network enforcement points,
such as the Juniper Networks^® SRX Series Services Gateway firewall product,
in order to more effectively block threats in real-time.
The Junos Spotlight Secure global attacker intelligence service captures and
shares digital fingerprints of attacker devices in real-time, providing better
precision in tracking and blocking attackers than IP reputation databases. The
RSA Live solution is designed to focus on malicious networks, including
command-and-control and advanced threat-related domains. The sharing of these
sources and techniques is anticipated to help provide customers with
unparalleled visibility into the attacks which target their networks, as well
as the ability to more quickly and effectively block and mitigate them.
In addition, RSA and Juniper intend to build on a previous agreement announced
in 2012 to help enable mobile security services tying strong authentication
with secure remote access to extend the security model and streamline the
mobile user experience when accessing both corporate and cloud-based
resources. The two companies are engaged in ongoing interoperability testing
so that RSA mobile authentication technologies work with the Juniper Networks
Junos^® Pulse SSL Secure solution for secure, mobile remote access to
corporate resources. The companies also intend to collaborate further to
enable Junos Pulse SSL Secure to authenticate native mobile application access
to present a unified access point for both VPN and mobile applications.
