The vSRX Virtual Firewall delivers a complete cloud-native virtual firewall for Google Cloud Platform, including advanced security, secure SD-WAN, robust networking, and automated virtual machine life-cycle management for service providers and enterprises
As workloads move to the public cloud, they introduce challenges around securing the data and communication between workloads running in the cloud and other locations.
Network and security professionals must perform a delicate balancing act, delivering the benefits of cloud technologies without undermining the organization’s security. This challenge can only be met by a solution that keeps pace with evolving threats while matching the agility and scalability of cloud environments—without sacrificing reliability, visibility, and control.
Juniper Networks addresses these challenges head-on by extending the capabilities of the award-winning Juniper Networks® SRX Series Firewalls as a cloud-native virtual firewall for Google Cloud Platform (GCP), empowering security professionals to deploy and scale firewall protection for workloads running within GCP. The Juniper Networks vSRX Virtual Firewall offers unparalleled next- generation firewall (NGFW) security that includes intrusion prevention system (IPS), malware protection, app control, and on-demand threat detection. The vSRX also supports secure communications with SD-WAN, GCP virtual networks, and SD-LAN for secure segmentation between workloads.
The vSRX for GCP automated provisioning capabilities allow network and security administrators to quickly and efficiently provision and scale firewall protection to meet the dynamic needs of cloud environments. By combining the vSRX with the power of Junos Space® Security Director or Contrail® Service Orchestration, administrators can significantly improve policy configuration, management, and visibility into both physical and virtual assets from a common, centralized platform.
Juniper is committed to helping customers realize the value of their existing investments and has committed to interoperability for all of its SRX Series firewalls. In addition to Security Director and Contrail Service Orchestration, the vSRX supports OpenContrail and other third-party management solutions. The vSRX can also integrate with other next-generation cloud orchestration tools such as OpenStack, either directly or through rich APIs.
In addition to public cloud and traditional virtualization use cases, the vSRX allows service providers and enterprises to deploy a secure SD-WAN fabric with edge defenses. The secure SD-WAN fabric is adaptable to any site’s individual needs while also providing the flexibility to defend virtualized and service-oriented applications wherever they exist throughout the network.
Security Director can manage up to 25,000 SRX Series firewalls—whether physical, virtual, or containerized—from a single management instance. This tool allows organizations to manage, automate, and orchestrate network security, virtualization, and interconnectivity, from endpoint to edge and every cloud in between, from a single platform.
