Juniper Networks Unified Access Control

Dynamic, standards-based network and application access control Comprehensive access protection, visibility and monitoring for networks, applications and sensitive data Flexible, phased deployment reduces installation complexity and cost Best-in-class scalability and centralized policy management eases network access deployment, provisioning and administration

Comprehensive Access Control for High-Performance Businesses

Juniper Networks Unified Access Control (UAC) delivers a comprehensive access control solution that combines user identity, device security state and location information for session-specific access policy by user. Open and standards-based, UAC leverages existing enterprise network infrastructure, components, and software to reduce deployment complexity and cost while increasing operational efficiencies. Juniper UAC is built on our award-winning, field-tested, best-in-class security and access control products. It's adaptable and scalable to meet the network access control requirements for businesses of all sizes.

Access policies can be shared between Juniper UAC and Juniper Networks Secure Access (SA) SSL VPN when managed by Juniper Networks Network and Security Manager (NSM). This centralizes provisioning of enterprise-wide access control and ensures consistent policies for remote and local access, simplifying policy development and management.

All access policy is implemented by the Infranet Controller, UAC's hardened, centralized policy server. User identity, device security state and network location are determined by the UAC Agent. The UAC Agent is available as a dynamically downloadable agent with support for the most popular enterprise computing platforms; a dynamically downloadable lightweight agent with cross-platform support for Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS, Linux, and Solaris platforms; or an agentless mode, for when installing a software client is not feasible.

The Infranet Controller combines the gathered user identity, device security state and network location information to create a unique access control policy per user and per session. UAC can enforce access policy at Layer 2 using any vendor's 802.1X-enabled wireless access point or switch, including the Juniper EX-series Ethernet switches; at Layers 3 – 7, using any Juniper firewall platform, or both for greater granularity.
