Juniper Networks has extended its Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite, which is a comprehensive security software suite that protects mobile devices and customers’ sensitive information, and includes mobile device management capabilities.
The new Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite extends mobile device management support for Apple iOS devices, enabling configuration, provisioning, management and policy enforcement.
In addition, enterprises deploying iPads and iPhones can enable secure device connectivity to the network and corporate applications with the enforcement of corporate security profiles on the device.
The new security suite also comes with management and policy enforcement capabilities which enable users to set passwords according to corporate guidelines, use the appropriate VPN, and block applications that could expose the device to security risks.
The company said that the Apple iPhone and iPad users can also track a lost or stolen device with GPS locator and remotely lock and wipe it free of content.
Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite API’s allow service providers open programmatic customisation of the Junos Pulse offering.
The Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite API’s enable service providers and Juniper’s own Professional Services to co-brand the Junos Pulse end user interface and integrate the Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite management console into a service provider’s billing and provisioning systems.
Juniper Networks Junos Pulse business unit vice president and general manager Sanjay Beri said that they are increasing demand for Junos Pulse and the Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite as consumers and businesses realise the necessity of securing their mobile work, lifestyle, and day-to-day life.
"The Mobile Security Suite expands our reach in the mobility market into new client operating systems, and mobile security and connectivity capabilities while our API platform introduces new opportunities, particularly for service providers and enterprises looking to add value-based security services and differentiation for their customers," Beri said.
