Juniper Networks Enterprise Infranet Controller 6500 Base System - security appliance

The Enterprise Infranet Controller enables conditional access to networks based upon user authentication and a real-time check of the device's security characteristics. The dynamically provisioned Infranet Agent accepts user credentials, conducts the host check and provides optional authenticated and encrypted transport to enforcement gateways. These enforcers will be delivered as a software upgrade to Juniper Networks' NetScreen firewall systems and appliances. These firewalls are broadly deployed in key locations within the network and make granular traffic decisions. By consuming signals from the Infranet Controller and terminating connections from agents, enforcers can provide end-to-end transport security and greater policy control and visibility without requiring significant infrastructure changes. The Juniper Networks Enterprise Infranet Controller appliance will provide benefits similar to the SSL VPN, but on a much larger scale, preventing non-compliant hosts from attaching to the enterprise network and providing use control for enterprise network traffic.
