RSA and Juniper partner to secure mobile network

BANGALORE, INDIA: RSA, the security division of EMC, and networking company Juniper Networks have expanded their partnership to enable mobile access to applications and secure mobile networks.

RSA and Juniper will provide intelligence sharing between RSA Live threat delivery service and Juniper Networks Junos Spotlight Secure intelligence service, says a release.

RSA will use it to extend threat visibility and analytics within RSA Security Analytics, while Juniper will embed this additional intelligence into network enforcement points, such as Juniper Networks SRX series services gateway firewall product.

Art Coviello, executive chairman, RSA and executive vice president, EMC Corporation, said: "Two of the most common requests we get from customers are about improving information sharing and enabling them to deploy greater security on mobile devices. This expanded technology partnership would enable RSA and Juniper to help address both of those key requirements for customers, and set the stage for increased collaboration on a wider range of advanced security challenges."

The Junos Spotlight Secure global attacker intelligence service captures and shares digital fingerprints of attacker devices in real-time. Whereas, the RSA Live solution is designed to focus on malicious networks, including command-and-control and advanced threat-related domains.

Nawaf Bitar, senior vice president and general manager, Security Business Unit, Juniper Networks, said: "The future of cyber security is centered around enabling real-time sharing of intelligence to prevent advanced attacks. Juniper and RSA are teaming up to share extensive intelligence and drive the industry forward. Spotlight, Juniper's global attacker intelligence service, announced today, transforms the industry from tracking IP addresses to tracking and stopping individual attackers. When Spotlight is coupled with the RSA Live service, customers win by gaining more complete situational awareness and better prevention of advanced attacks."
