GeoIP Overview

IP-based geolocation (GeoIP) is the method of locating a computer terminal's geographic location by identifying that terminal's IP address. A GeoIP feed is an up-to-date mapping of IP addresses to geographical regions. By mapping an IP address to the sources of attack traffic, geographic regions of origin can be determined, giving you the ability to filter traffic to and from specific locations in the world.

Using Juniper Security Director Cloud, you can create, modify, or delete the GeoIP feeds. You can use the GeoIP feeds in security policy to deny or allow traffic based on source or destination IP address.
