Event Summary
April 7, 2008 - Juniper Networks announced a new family of intrusion detection and prevention (IDP) appliances. The new Juniper \IDP appliances enable businesses to achieve a responsive and trusted environment by providing comprehensive network-wide security to identify, secure and manage the traffic traversing the network.
Analytical Summary
• Current Perspective: Positive on Juniper’s release of a high performance IDP family of products, because the new 10 Gbps appliances move its IPS technology from the network perimeter to the core of the network, where large enterprises and service providers are concerned with application level threats.
• Vendor Importance: High to Juniper’s IDP family, which range from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps, because the appliances address customers’ need to support emerging bandwidth-intensive and latency-sensitive applications including voice, video and data, through a more efficient security infrastructure.
• Market Impact: Moderate on the high-performance IPS market segment because leading competitors have already begun offering multi-Gig IPS technology including 10 Gbps, also focused on protecting the network core of enterprises and service providers. So Juniper will have to emphasize its key differentiator, primarily the breadth of its infrastructure product line which includes its UAC access control technology.
