Evolving threats and rapid change demand a new approach to distributed security. HPE Juniper Networking hybrid mesh firewall reduces operational burden while defending against threats.
To stay ahead, you need security that’s as dynamic and distributed as your business. The good news? We’ve been building for this reality for years. Now, the market calls it hybrid mesh firewalls. With the HPE Juniper Networking SRX Series Firewalls, we deliver a modern approach that unifies next-generation firewall security across on-premises, cloud, and edge environments. Designed for security, scalability, and resilience, the SRX platform simplifies complexity and empowers organizations to stay ahead of evolving threats.
How HPE Juniper Networking SRX powers a true hybrid mesh network security architecture
The HPE Juniper Networking SRX firewalls are not just standalone firewalls; they are foundational components of a scalable, interconnected network security framework. Designed for flexibility and resilience, SRX enables organizations to build a unified security posture across diverse environments. Here’s how:
- Unified management with Juniper Security Director: With Juniper Security Director, teams can manage policies, monitor threats, and automate deployments from a single, intuitive interface. This centralized control reduces operational overhead and enables faster, more coordinated responses to emerging threats.
- Consistent policy enforcement across the mesh: HPE Juniper Networking SRX supports automated policy propagation, ensuring that security rules are consistently applied across all nodes—whether on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge. This minimizes manual errors and maintains uniform protection across the entire network.
- Scalable by design: Whether you're expanding to new branch offices, scaling cloud workloads, or modernizing your data center, SRX appliances can be added or removed without disrupting operations. This elasticity allows your security infrastructure to grow in step with your business.
- Built for interoperability: SRX firewalls are engineered to work seamlessly with both HPE Juniper Networking and third-party security solutions. This open approach allows organizations to avoid vendor lock-in and create a cohesive, adaptable security fabric that evolves with their needs.
- Cloud-ready security: HPE Juniper Networking SRX virtual firewalls extend enterprise-grade protection to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. This ensures consistent security policies and visibility across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, without compromising performance or control.
- Zero trust, built in: HPE Juniper Networking SRX enables granular, identity-based access controls and microsegmentation, helping organizations implement and enforce zero trust principles. Context-aware policies grant only the right users and devices access to the right resources—at the right time.
