Security Director

Juniper gives you the flexibility to comprehensively manage network security with two product options that address whether your network is fully on premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment:

• Juniper Security Director provides extensive security policy management and control for on-premises infrastructure through a centralized, web-based interface. It helps you manage security consistently across your private network. 
• Juniper Security Director Cloud connects customers’ current deployments with their future architectural rollouts from a single, unified interface, delivering a simple and seamless experience. You can secure your architecture with consistent security policies across on-premises, cloud-based, cloud-delivered, and hybrid environments. That includes expanding Zero Trust to all parts of the network, from the edge all the way into the data center, applications, and microservices. With Security Director Cloud, enjoy unbroken visibility, policy configuration, administration, and collective threat intelligence all from one place.

• Scalability that supports managing tens of thousands of sites simultaneously
• Ability to create policies for validated threat prevention, user and application access control, secure connectivity, and more—and apply them anywhere
• Security controls that protect private and public cloud workloads 
• Ability to correlate and analyze each stage of an attack in sequence—regardless of which product detected the attack—and stop threats across your network with one-click mitigation
• Security assurance guarantees that security rules are always placed correctly for the intended effectiveness

Organizations that run a mix of IT environments—on-premises, cloud-based, cloud-delivered, and hybrid—can secure their infrastructures with consistent security policies end to end, all from a single management interface. In addition, those running Security Director on premises and expanding their infrastructures to the cloud can take advantage of the bidirectional sync between Security Director, Security Director Cloud, and on-premises and individual firewalls for seamless operations.

Security Director and Security Director Cloud address comprehensive security in distributed networks, whether they’re exclusively on premises or span both private and public clouds. The products let you centrally create and manage your security policies from a single unified interface and automatically enforce those policies across on-premises-only networks or a mix of on-premises, cloud-based, cloud-delivered, and hybrid environments.

Unified policy management follows the user, device, and data across your distributed network infrastructure without you having to copy or recreate rule sets. It’s also easy to deploy cloud-delivered application control, intrusion prevention, content and web filtering, and effective threat prevention without breaking visibility or security enforcement.
