Complementing Junos is the Juniper Mist cloud architecture, which employs AI-driven network assurance and user engagement to deliver proactive insights and automated resolution of network issues. Juniper’s security portfolio encompasses next-generation firewalls, secure access service edge (SASE) solutions, and intrusion detection and prevention systems, enabling customers to fortify their networks against sophisticated cyber attacks.
