[June 18, 2013] Juniper Networks announces availability of Junos DDoS Secure Tweet Jun 18, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Juniper Networks, a provider of software, silicon and systems, has announced the availability of Junos DDoS Secure to protect data centers against Distributed Denial of Service, or DDoS, attacks. Junos DDoS Secure reportedly uses behavioral analytics and detailed network visibility to provide protection against all types of DDoS attacks. Junos DDoS Secure reportedly provides companies and organizations with web infrastructures of all sizes protection against targeted application-level and wide-scale volumetric attacks. According to the company, by continually monitoring and logging all inbound and outbound Web traffic using its behavioral algorithm, Junos DDoS Secure learns which IP addresses can be trusted. The algorithm is able to detect unusual activity coming from a user and then intelligently respond in real time by dropping suspect or noncompliant traffic as soon as the optimum performance from critical resources begins to degrade. Further, using advanced dynamic distributed threat intelligence (DDTI) techniques, Junos DDoS Secure also ensures that when a threat is detected at one gateway, within seconds, all the other Junos DDoS Secure appliances on the network are updated with the latest information needed to protect critical resources, the company said. Junos DDoS Secure is available to operate in a range of virtualized environments, including VMware and KVM-based systems for private, public or hybrid cloud environments. It is also fully IPv6 compliant. The virtual Junos DDoS Secure offering provides large enterprises the ability to scale and configure a defense shield using existing server capacity in regional data centers. It also provides Internet service providers with the ability to roll out DDoS mitigation as an additional managed service for customers by leveraging their existing virtual infrastructure. Junos DDoS Secure is available later this quarter and is offered as both a perpetual and subscription software license. Perpetual license is priced at $18,950 per 1Gbps and 1 year subscription license at $8,950 for 1Gbps. Software maintenance via the Juniper Care Software Advantage is provided at an additional fee for perpetual licenses. Software maintenance is included in the subscription license fee, the company added. David Koretz, vice president and general manager, Counter Security, Juniper Networks: "Enterprises and service providers interested in safeguarding availability would be well served to consider both size and sophistication in architecting a DDoS security strategy. Junos DDoS Secure offers customers a unique, intelligence-based approach to protecting against all types of DDoS attacks, providing next generation security for today's data center." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
