SDN in Practice: Lower Cost & Greater Agility for Branch Operations

Public and private organizations are struggling to keep pace with the increasing volume and sophistication of cyber-attacks. Major data breaches surface daily and the risk to Federal agency IT infrastructure and data continues to increase. Layering in additional specialized security devices may have limited impact, or worst case, may be a risky way of responding in today’s threat environment.

How do you respond to mitigate risk and ensure resilient, reliable networks? It’s time for your firewall to step up.

Next-generation firewalls are going through an evolutionary advancement – they are increasingly more dynamic, automated, and intelligent. If you have not done so lately, it’s time to update your knowledge about how an advanced firewall will improve your organizational security posture.

Plan to invest one hour and join Juniper Networks on Tuesday, November 18 for our next Federal Tech Talk where we will share the details on the types of risk to your agency network, data, and infrastructure, and most importantly, what you can do to mitigate these risks before they impact your operations. Primary focus areas for this executive presentation include:
•The exciting advancements in firewall security—what’s now and what’s next
•Adaptive intelligence and what it means for enterprise security initiatives
•How to take an active role in defending your agency from cyber threats today and into the future

Register today and become more informed on how to leverage current technology and methods for optimal, manageable, and affordable network defense.

With all the hype around Cloud and SDN, federal decision makers are finding themselves trying to navigate through many new concepts and consequently needing to change the way they have traditionally selected their IT infrastructure. Technologies are now becoming more integrated and it is more important than ever to help your organization be agile enough to keep up with the demands of your users and your customers.

Come hear from Daniel McGinniss to learn about how Juniper Networks MetaFabric Architecture can help guide you on this journey to embracing Cloud technologies such as automation, SDN and Orchestration platforms to help you build next-generation networks for your agency.

For nearly 15 years, Federal agencies have relied on Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) as the default method to provide mobile users with remote access to government information, communications, and applications. During this time frame, nearly every aspect of Federal Government networking has changed. The border between inside and outside the firewall has nearly evaporated, data and applications are migrating to the cloud, and hundreds of millions of mobile devices now require secure access to agency resources—regardless of user or data location.

Plan to attend this Federal Tech Talk -- from wherever you are located -- to update your working knowledge of the changes required to deliver secure mobility to employees regardless of their device, location, or resource. The agenda will cover:

· Evolving network architectures that support diverse mobile device types and user requirements
· Why VPNs, mobile device management (MDM), mobile security, and access control must be integrated and work together effectively
· An overview of Pulse Secure—a recently created company to optimize Juniper Networks’ Junos Pulse capabilities, as well as mobile security for the app-centric enterprise
· How to leverage a consolidated, secure access platform to meet your agency’s mobile computing demands
· A demonstration of how to deliver secure services that are easy to deploy and manage across multiple platforms, and a roadmap for future product development

Following this introductory briefing, attendees will receive a complimentary copy of a recent publication by Forrester Research, Quick Take: Pulse Secure Spins Off, Immediately Acquires MobileSpaces, Good News for S&R Pros Seeking a Unified Solution for Mobile Device, App, And Data Security.

Register today and attend on January 21st to learn how to empower your agency productivity through secure and seamless mobility.

In business today, it’s all about the applications. Cloud, mobility, big data, and social media have changed applications in the business world, and they are ever more critical to delivering business outcomes. Are you confident that you have the right data center network to support your new business applications? This webinar will examine the network from the point of view of the application:

• Does it deliver the right performance?
• Is it reliable to ensure the uptime you need?
• Is it easy to scale as your needs grow?
• Is it easy to manage when you need to make changes?

In this webinar, we will discuss switching architectures, including Juniper’s Virtual Chassis Fabric, to meet these requirements and support your business outcomes.

Our State and Local Government and Education markets continually face resource challenges in regards to managing their highly distributed infrastructure.

QFX3000-M Use Cases

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are not new, but terms like diversionary DDoS, slow loris and application layer DDoS offer ample evidence that DDoS has evolved. Attackers are clearly becoming more sophisticated at launching DDoS... Have your methods for mitigation kept up? Likely not.

During this information packed session we'll explain the trends in DDoS attacks and mitigation tactics giving you a path for tipping the security scales back in your favor.

Enterprises are looking at software-defined network (SDN) technologies and greater virtualization capabilities to improve application performance and agility in the data center. These solutions, however, won’t have the desired effect until something is done about the primary barrier to success: the network itself.

Tom Mendoza of NetApp congratulates InterVision Systems on 20 years of business and industry success.
