RSA and Juniper Expands Technology Partnership

RSA and Juniper Networks jointly announced their intent to expand their technology partnership to help customers to detect and prevent advanced threats and enhance the security and usability of remote access for mobile users.

This technology partnership will provide extensive intelligence sharing between the RSA Live threat 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. 

This collaboration will 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. 

Art Coviello, Executive Chairman, RSA and Executive Vice-President, EMC Corporation, said, “This expanded technology partnership would enable RSA and Juniper to help address both of those key requirements for customers, and set the stage for increased collaboration on a wider range of advanced security challenges.”

Nawaf Bitar, Senior Vice-President and General Manager, Security Business Unit, Juniper Networks, said, “Juniper and RSA are teaming up to share extensive intelligence and drive the industry forward. Spotlight, Juniper’s global attacker intelligence service, announced today, transforms the industry from tracking IP addresses to tracking and stopping individual attackers.”
