This Flash reviews Juniper Network's recently announced enhancements to ScreenOS and the unified threat management (UTM) capabilities that these enhancements bring to the Secure Services Gateway (SSG) product line. Juniper is taking a partnership approach to offer best-of-breed solutions in order to provide complete UTM to medium-sized enterprises and large enterprises' branch offices. IDC believes the enhanced SSG appliances will be formidable competitors to other appliances within the fast-growing UTM market. However, the key success factors lie in SSG's performance and Juniper's ability to integrate the various security options seamlessly.
