Juniper introduces Secure AI-Native Edge solution for unified security and network management

Juniper Networks has launched the Secure AI-Native Edge solution, a breakthrough innovation that brings both security and networking configuration, management, and troubleshooting under the powerful Mist AI umbrella. This new solution is designed to simplify operations by integrating security and networking into a single, AI-driven platform, providing teams with complete visibility and control over their entire infrastructure.

Simplified security and network management under one roof

The Secure AI-Native Edge solution introduces Mist Security Assurance, expanding security configuration capabilities while offering complete visibility across both security and networking telemetry. Operators can now manage their entire environment, from data centres to branch locations, using one unified console.

Powerful AI-driven insights for enhanced efficiency

Through Mist AI’s Premium Analytics, security and networking teams benefit from detailed insights into the health of their environments. This AI-powered platform takes telemetry data from both security and networking sources, delivering actionable insights that enable faster response times and greater operational agility.

The solution is designed to make network and security management more efficient, helping reduce the need for multiple consoles and providing a common data lake for streamlined operations.

Zero-trust security across all environments

At its core, Juniper’s Secure AI-Native Edge supports the vision of securing every connection with universal Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA). Whether users are working remotely, on campus, or across different locations, the platform ensures consistent and universally applied security and networking policies. This approach reduces risks and ensures operational efficiency across even the most complex infrastructures.

Industry-leading security efficacy

Juniper Networks is known for delivering top-tier security, with a proven track record of 99.94% efficacy, as confirmed by the 2023 CyberRatings Next-Generation Firewall test. Now, customers can enjoy the same high-level protection, whether they’re managing a branch office or a data centre, all through the Mist platform.

Industries that will benefit the most

The Secure AI-Native Edge solution is particularly valuable for industries with complex and dynamic network environments. It’s designed for large enterprises, retail, healthcare, higher education, and organisations with multiple branches or campuses. These industries often face unique security challenges, requiring robust, scalable solutions that ensure consistent policies and protection across all locations.

When can you expect it?

The Secure AI-Native Edge solution is rolling out soon. Key components like Mist Security Assurance will be available in Q4 of 2024 and Q1 of 2025.

The bottom line: Saving time and money

For businesses looking to enhance their edge architecture, Juniper’s Secure AI-Native Edge is a game changer. It not only improves operational agility and resilience but also saves time and money by reducing the complexity of managing both security and networking through a single, AI-native platform.
