Juniper's SSL VPN Gains Military Certification

Juniper Networks’ SA Series SSL VPN (Secured Sockets Layer Virtual Private Network) appliances have been tested and certified by the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) for interoperability with Defense Department Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) requirements.

JITC interoperability testing and certification are required by the U.S. Department of Defense for all IT equipment that attaches to U.S. defense networks.

“Removing passwords–and their transmission across the Internet, as well as the organizational or cloud-based files where they are stored and managed–eliminates a huge vulnerability for managers of critical, sensitive networks,” said Bob Fortna, vice president, Defense, Juniper Networks. “The use of a certified SSL VPN solution in a CAC-enabled PKI environment promotes highly secure network access, continuity of operations during emergencies, and offers significant reductions in inappropriate network use and intrusions.”http://www.juniper.net
