Juniper NetScreen-Security Manager, 25 devices

NetScreen-Security Manager, 25 devices Juniper Networks NetScreen-Security Manager system takes a new approach to security management: it gives IT departments an easy-to-use centralized management solution that controls all aspects of the Juniper Networks firewall / IPSec VPN devices - including device configuration, network settings, and security policy. Some centralized management solutions require the use of multiple management tools to control a single device. The NetScreen-Security Manager system allows IT departments to control the entire device life cycle with a single, centralized solution. Using the NetScreen-Security Manager system, device technicians, network administrators, and security administrators can work together to improve network reporting and management efficiency, and reduce overhead and operating costs.

The NetScreen-Security Manager system uses Juniper Networks NetScreen-Statistical Report Server tool, an optional module for storing statistical information from the managed firewall / IPSec VPN devices in the network, and for generating reports from this data, enabling further viewing and analysis of the information about a security deployment. From the Statistical Report Web Interface, customers can choose from a selection of over 40 reports to view and analyze network traffic, device and VPN statistics, system resources, and other administrative information. Customers can also customize templates for commonly used reports, and generate these on a regularly scheduled basis.
