Juniper ties up with Samsung for mobile security push
1 November 2011
Juniper Networks has integrated its Junos Pulse security platform with Samsung's Android handset line, adding a number of features not currently offered on other Android devices.
The integration provides SSL VPN connections so that smartphones and tablets can interact securely with enterprise networks, and allows administrators to remotely scan systems for malware as well as manage and remove software without the need for user interaction.
The features build on Junos Pulse, the mobile security and management platform offered for iOS, Windows Phone and BlackBerry devices as well as Android.
Stefano Landi, senior director of strategic alliances at Juniper, told that the partnership with Samsung is part of an effort to extend the reach of Junos Pulse in the Android handset space.
"Its not just about securing or managing the device or securing the connection. It's about offering the full suite," he said.
Juniper signed a carrier deal with US telecoms firm AT&T in August, and said that the company is open to similar partnerships with hardware developers, service providers and operating system vendors to integrate Junos with new devices.
"There is an intention to build across all the different devices," said Landi. "The timing really depends on when the other handset vendors might provide these hooks or when they are available from Android."
