TeliaSonera Selects Juniper Networks Market-Leading SSL VPN Platforms for Enhanced Managed Security Service in Scandinavia
Future Service Rollouts to Include Unified Threat Management and Integrated High-Speed Firewall/Intrusion Prevention Solutions
| Source: Juniper Networks
SUNNYVALE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- February 8, 2007 -- Juniper Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ : JNPR ) today
announced that TeliaSonera, the leading telecommunications company in the
Nordic and Baltic regions, has selected the Juniper Networks Secure Access
SSL VPN family of appliances as the basis for a new enterprise remote
secure access managed service offering. The initial service rollout will
cover Finland, with plans to extend to other Nordic countries and Baltic
regions in the future. Juniper's Secure Access technology enables
browser-based mobile secure access via broadband, wireless, DSL and dial-up
connections, and can also provide a cost-effective alternative to
traditional extranets for secure third-party access from the same platform.
Juniper has been positioned in the "Leaders" quadrant of Gartner's recently
published Magic Quadrant for SSL VPN, North America, 3Q06*.
TeliaSonera also plans to launch other managed security services based on
Juniper's best-in-class solutions in the near future, to include Unified
Threat Management (UTM) and high-speed firewalling/VPN with integrated
intrusion prevention. The company already offers a managed intrusion
prevention service using Juniper Networks' standalone Intrusion Detection
and Prevention (IDP) family of devices.
"TeliaSonera needed a security vendor to work with us as a long-term,
strategic partner in support of our managed services portfolio introduction
and growth. By delivering managed security services with Juniper Networks
platforms our customers benefit from industry-leading performance and
security, while we benefit from a streamlined deployment and simple,
consistent management across numerous operations," said Jukka Leinonen,
senior vice president at TeliaSonera Integrated Enterprise Solutions.
"Juniper is the ideal partner for a managed service offering because its
comprehensive, appliance-based security portfolio, demonstrable reputation
in the enterprise sector, and strong partnerships allow us to deliver
comprehensive, best-in-class solutions with UTM fully integrated into
Juniper's high-performance firewall devices."
The Juniper Networks Secure Access series of SSL VPN appliances enable
organizations of all sizes to deploy cost-effective secure access for
mobile and remote employees. The use of SSL, the security protocol found in
all standard Web browsers, eliminates the need for client-software
deployment and costly ongoing client maintenance/support when compared to
traditional IPSec solutions for remote access, making it ideal for the
managed services environment. Secure Access' browser-based approach also
enables mobile users to access corporate network resources securely via
non-corporate endpoints, such as Internet cafés and hotel PCs. The Secure
Access SSL VPN solution authenticates each user's identity and verifies the
health of the endpoint device before network access is granted, and also
enforces the access to specific resources each user is permitted to have.
TeliaSonera is a Select Partner in the Carrier Resale/Managed Services
Partner category of Juniper's J-Partner program, enabling it to provide
Juniper equipment directly to its customers as fully managed CPE (customer
premise equipment) while keeping costs at a minimum.
"Many enterprises are choosing to protect their network assets against the
complex, ongoing proliferation of threats by purchasing cost-effective and
easy-to-use managed security services," said Gert-Jan Schenk, vice
president of operations, EMEA, for Juniper Networks. "The reliability,
performance and effectiveness of the underlying security technology make or
break these services, so TeliaSonera's decision to focus its managed
services future on Juniper's platforms is testament to our position as a
provider of best-in-class security solutions."
