RSA 2008: Next-generation Secure Access SSL VPN appliances

Juniper Networks announced the next generation of its industry leading Secure Access (SA) SSL VPN platforms – the SA 2500, 4500 and 6500 appliances. The new Secure Access appliances provide enterprises and service providers with best-in-class performance, scalability and redundancy to ensure fast, reliable and secure remote access to applications and services for even the most complex and demanding secure environments.

Juniper’s Secure Access SSL VPN appliances enable high-performance businesses to deliver anytime, anywhere access of corporate resources and applications to their remote and mobile employees, customers, and partners. They offer investment protection by providing a single platform to handle remote access to web applications, terminal services, client/server applications, and for the rising use of mobile devices. They also dynamically grant access to various types of traffic depending on each user’s role and as a result, deliver tremendous flexibility and granularity.

The scalable security platforms use SSL, the universal security protocol found in all standard Web browsers. SSL effectively eliminated the historic requirement for client-software deployments, doing away with changes to internal servers and costly ongoing client maintenance and desktop support. The SA 2500, 4500 and 6500 provide extensive end-to-end layered security and include endpoint client, device, data and server layered security controls. These advanced features provide interoperability with diverse endpoint security solutions from third-party vendors that conform to the Trusted Network Connect standard.
