Juniper Networks' Unified Access Control is a network security solution for controlling access to the network and enforcing security policies. The platform integrates firewall software with intrusion detection and prevention systems to provide end-to-end protection. It utilizes user identity, device security state, location, and time of day to determine access privileges, thus enabling enterprises to apply granular policy controls. Through its infrastructure components — Infranet Controller and Enforcement Point - Juniper's Unified Access Control ensures that only trusted users and devices can access critical resources on the network while detecting unauthorized activities in real-time. This improves overall network performance by reducing congestion from unwanted traffic types while mitigating potential threats before they reach vulnerable endpoints.
