Only mobile devices that have been enrolled in the AirWatch MDM and are compliant with the posture assessment are allowed access to corporate network. Certificates are provisioned via the open-standard Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), which ensures strong authentication and eliminating the need to enter random strings of numbers for a secure connection. With a few taps on the screen, an employee is on his or her way to using and making voice or video calls with Microsoft Lync or using Microsoft Office365,, or another application from anywhere and from any mobile device.īehind the scenes, Unified Access Control leverages the Pulse Secure framework to support attribute-based network access control for mobile devices. Unifying access control over wired and wired networks allows employees to connect seamlessly, collaborate anywhere, and enjoy more flexibility when mobile, so they can stay connected to the productivity tools and services they need-while Juniper’s rigorous security standards are upheld. Unified Access Control leverages Pulse Secure’s MAG Series Pulse Secure Gateway, Pulse Connect Secure (SSL VPN), and Pulse Secure Unified Access Control (UAC) as well as AirWatch, a leading third-party enterprise-grade mobile device management (MDM) solution. Juniper employees now have unified access to wired and wired networks, which makes self-service BYOD possible. Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer of Juniper Networks “At Juniper Networks, our self-service solution for BYOD has made the lives of our employees easier and our service desk has seen a decrease in support issues relating to BYOD access.”

Juniper’s confidential information and intellectual property had to be protected. Convenience was a priority, but security had to be uncompromising. Juniper’s IT department wanted to make BYOD easier and allow employees to access more applications, which would enable them to be more productive anywhere, anytime, and from any device. And they needed to use a security token for two-factor authentication before they could access Pulse Secure’s corporate network. Employees had to manually configure both Wi-Fi and VPN access.

Securely accessing business applications from their personal devices required too many extra steps, and many employees regarded the process as cumbersome. Despite the clamor for BYOD, most employees were doing little more than email or Internet access from their personal devices. Juniper Networks employees use a variety of smartphones and tablets for work every day, and they often use their personal mobile devices, the company standard for smartphones, but others prefer a different platform.
