Juniper Networks Wins Three Information Security Magazine Reader’s Choice Awards

[#1]

Information Security Magazine recently released the results of their 2009 Annual Readers Choice Awards, and we're quite proud to have netted two gold awards and a silver.

Juniper was named tops in the "Best Network Access Control Products" and "Best Intrusion Prevention and Detection Products" categories.  We were also recognized in the "Best Remote Access Products" category.  

Netting the gold were the Juniper Networks Unified Access Control solution and IDP Series Intrusion Detection and Prevention Appliances. Here's what the publication had to say about us:

"Juniper UAC mixes user identity, device security state, and network location information to create unique access control policy, per user and per session. UAC scored high in virtually every category, but was exceptionally strong in its policy-based network access control and its enforcement options. Last year, UAC finished second among readers"

"Juniper Networks IDP Series Intrusion Detection and Prevention Appliances won top honors from readers with high marks for effectively and accurately detecting, preventing and/or blocking attacks and suspicious activity. The appliances also received raves for their frequency of signature updates and reporting and alerting capabilities. Juniper Networks IDP uses signatures and other detection mechanisms"

And here's what they said about our SA Series SSL-VPN Appliances, which received the silver:

"Readers like Juniper's authentication support, end-user transparency/ease of use and vendor service/support. The product family includes models sized for the needs of small businesses with limited IT experience to high-capacity products for large enterprises requiring the utmost authentication, authorization, and auditing (AAA) capabilities for employee, partner (extranet) and customer access"

This latest recognition comes on the heels of both our IPS and NAC solutions being positioned in the "Leaders" quadrant of their respective Gartner Magic Quadrants earlier this year.

According to the magazine, a record number of Information Security and SearchSecurity.com readers evaluated 380 products in 17 categories.  Link to the full tally of awards and winners are here (registration is required.)  We are truly thankful to the readers of Information Security Magazine and SearchSecurity.com for thinking so highly of us.
