Juniper Networks is the market leader in SSL based remote access that is easy to deploy and easy to maintain. Built on the Instant Virtual Extranet (IVE) platform, all Juniper Networks Secure Access SSL VPN appliances have met or exceeded the stringent security standards of independent Internet security auditing agencies. Juniper Networks extends this leadership with a FIPS-Compliant offering, combining all of the features of the award-winning IVE platform with a FIPS-certified hardware security module. Like all Secure Access products, the SA6000 FIPS appliance is a hardened security gateway that uses the standards based Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to provide remote access via a Web browser. There are no hardware or software clients to deploy, configure or install; no changes required for internal servers; no network address translation or firewall traversal issues to contend with, and virtually no ongoing maintenance. SSL itself is the most widely deployed security protocol in the world, securing billions of dollars in online banking and e-commerce transactions. The combination of these features adds up to a solution with unbeatable security, radically lower total cost of ownership compared to traditional VPNs or custom extranets, and a highly scalable implementation.
