Juniper Security Director
Juniper Security Director · Sunnyvale, California, USA · founded 1996
What it is
Juniper Security Director is a web-based system for centrally managing network security policies across Juniper SRX deployments. Administrators can configure application security, firewall, security intelligence, VPN, IPS, and NAT policies from one interface. The software manages physical, virtual, and containerized firewalls across public and private clouds, and Juniper says it can handle tens of thousands of sites simultaneously. Security Director is available for on-premises infrastructure, while Security Director Cloud provides a SaaS option for on-premises, cloud, cloud-delivered, and hybrid environments. Security Director Insights correlates threat events across email, endpoint, server, cloud workload, and network layers, with one-click mitigation for active threats on Juniper SRX Series Firewalls. Firewall Policy Analysis identifies shadow or redundant rules and recommends changes. Bidirectional synchronization supports movement between on-premises and cloud deployments. Subscription terms range from one to seven years depending on delivery model.
