vSRX Virtual Firewall

The Juniper vSRX Virtual Firewall offers the same features as physical SRX Series firewalls, including core and next-gen firewall capabilities, networking, and automated lifecycle management, all in a virtualized form factor. It delivers security services scalable to match network demand and operates at speeds up to 100 Gbps.

The vSRX supports Juniper Contrail software-defined networking (SDN) and third-party SDN solutions. It also integrates with cloud orchestration tools such as OpenStack. Junos Space Security Director with Policy Enforcer automates policy enforcement and provides centralized visibility and management of physical and virtual assets through a common interface.

Application Visibility and Control with AppSecure

AppSecure is a next-generation application security suite for vSRX and SRX Series Firewalls that delivers threat visibility, protection,enforcement, and control.Whether needing to understand how many users are accessing
cloud-based applications like Facebook every day, or needing to know what applications are using the most bandwidth, AppSecure delivers powerful visibility and ongoing application tracking. With open signatures, unique application sets can be monitored,measured, and controlled to tie closely to the organization’s busines priorities.

Juniper Advanced Threat Prevention

Juniper Advanced Threat Prevention integrates with the vSRX to provide dynamic, automated protection against known malware and advanced zero-day threats, resulting in instantaneous responses Security policies determine if a session can originate in one zone and be forwarded to another zone. The vSRX receives packets and keeps track of every session, every application, and every user. As a VM moves within a virtualized or cloud environment, it will still
send packets to the vSRX for processing, continuously communicating in a secure mode.

High Availability (HA)

The vSRX provides mission-critical reliability, supporting chassis clustering for active/active and active/passive modes. The HA functionality provides full stateful failover for any connections processed and for cluster members to span hypervisors. When configured in a cluster, vSRX VMs synchronize the connection/session state and flow information with IPsec security associations,Network Address Translation (NAT) traffic, address book information, configuration changes, and more. As a result, not only is the session preserved during failover, but security is also kept intact. In an unstable network, vSRX also mitigates link flapping.

Juniper Secure Connect

Juniper Secure Connect is a highly flexible SSL VPN application that provides secure access to corporate and cloud resources for employees working away from protected resources. Juniper Secure Connect is available for desktop and mobile devices including Windows, Mac OS, Android, and iOS. When combined with the SRX Series Firewalls, Secure Connect helps organizations achieve dynamic, flexible, and adaptable connectivity to any device anywhere, reducing risk by extending visibility and enforcement from users to cloud. vSRX Virtual Firewall
