In their own words
Juniper Security Director
Juniper Security Director is a network security policy management product for Juniper SRX deployments. Its web interface centralizes configuration of application security, firewalls, security intelligence, VPN, IPS, and NAT policies. It manages physical, virtual, and containerized firewalls across public and private clouds, with capacity Juniper describes as tens of thousands of sites simultaneously. Security Director is available for on-premises infrastructure, while Security Director Cloud provides a SaaS option. Security Director Insights correlates threat events across email, endpoint, server, cloud workload, and network layers, and supports one-click mitigation across Juniper SRX Series Firewalls. Firewall Policy Analysis identifies shadow or redundant rules and recommends rule-base changes. Synchronization among on-premises, cloud, and individual firewalls supports cloud expansion. The product supports subscription terms of 1, 3, or 5 years on-premises and 1, 3, 5, or 7 years in the cloud. Pricing is on request, with no free plan.
