Executive Summary

The intent of this Playbook is to help Juniper sales and partner teams capitalize on the massive opportunity

around ScreenOS firewall customers upgrading to the next generation firewall platforms, Junos SRX. In this guide

you will find information on where to hunt, how to position, and supporting resources across the different stages of

the sales cycle.

Target Customers

All ScreenOS customers

Insertion points

Customers targeted with this initiative have typically deployed High-end firewalls within corporate headquarters

and data center locations and/or lower end firewalls at small/remote/branch locations. The following are sample

use cases for customers who may be great candidates for the upgrade, especially as they are approaching a

hardware refresh cycle:

Use Case #1 — Firewall refresh need— With added users, devices, and rich application usage, the legacy

ScreenOS platform is reaching (and perhaps exceeding) capacity for the network becoming too resource

intensive for firewall, VPN, and IPS functionality. As a result, customers may be experiencing slow application

response, etc. Now is the time to take advantage of the incentives/promotions for an upgrade to SRX to

experience the scalability and performance benefits.

Use Case #2 — Firewall modernization: Advanced threat protection— With the evolving risks and threats

associated with use of web and other applications, organizations required an array of network to application layer

controls. As a Next-gen Firewall, SRX features AppSecure to deliver the visibility, control, enforcement, and

protection needed for today’s applications. AppSecure identifies applications and enables customers to enforce

granular policies on the SRX firewall. Furthermore, SRX firewalls, through the new dynamic threat intelligence

framework leveraging cloud-based services, offer highly effective dynamic protection by detecting and blocking

communications to command and control (C&C) servers, identifying and preventing botnet infections and

preventing serial attackers on the Web. The list of C&C, malicious sites, and known attackers are updated

regularly in order to keep data timely and relevant.

Use Case #3— Virtualization Security — With so many organizations turning to virtualized environments for

time, power, space, and consolidation savings, businesses require security for network traffic at the Edge of

virtual data centers and also cloud environments. Juniper’s Firefly is a virtual version of the SRX Series, providing

perimeter security.

Competitive Positioning

The most frequent High-end SRX Series competitors in the marketplace include Cisco, Check Point, Palo Alto

Networks and Fortinet. These competitors are addressed below:

Cisco

What To Lead with Cisco Weakness Juniper Strength

System simplicity and uniformity

Cisco has different security solutions with different OS’s to learn and maintain (ASA and Sourcefire). CX functionality is effectively a separate OS running on top of ASA OS.

One OS with superior performance, scale and functionality plus linkage with application layer control using Juniper’s AppSecure

Application visibility Educate customers to know these limitations and test for them, such as low SSL performance when SSL decryption is enabled; default behavior switched off to increase performance, creating a serious security gap; and home- grown signature solutions. Customers report low satisfaction with PAN support in fixing these. Also, focus on identifying hackers. They can’t match the WebApp Secure functionality.

Juniper offers excellent application protection without compromising performance and is only one element of the SRX Series (e.g. SIEM, mobile device connectivity and protection, web application hacking and DDoS protection). This is independently validated by recent NSS Labs tests.

Management capabilities Cisco management interface (Prime) is archaic.

Our management interface is better than

theirs and improving each quarter.

Automation for operational efficiency

Lack of full automation (automatic

provisioning and configuration)

Automation reduces the time and

resources required for day to day

operations. (Example : Apple integration

Full enterprise-level breadth of product line

Palo Alto focuses on SMB and simplified “all in one box” solutions, which is insufficient for most enterprises

Juniper’s firewalls span traditional, next gen, and new dynamic intelligent firewalls, as well as physical and virtual solutions, all managed through one enterprise console.

Application visibility Educate customers to know these limitations and test for them, such as low SSL performance when SSL decryption is enabled; default behavior switched off to increase performance, creating a serious security gap; and home- grown signature solutions. Customers report low satisfaction with PAN support in fixing these. Also, focus on identifying hackers. They can’t match the WebApp Secure functionality.

Juniper offers excellent application protection without compromising performance and is only one element of the SRX Series (e.g. SIEM, mobile device connectivity and protection, web application hacking and DDoS protection). This is independently validated by recent NSS Labs tests.

Open platform for advanced threat protection

Closed Application ID signatures engine -- customers cannot easily customize applications based on business needs--always have to call PAN if they want to add a new signature

Open IPS and Application ID signatures enable users to quickly add new applications and cover new threats

Superior Data Center performance

Almost no experience in high end firewall market Palo Alto’s high end firewall performance lags behind Juniper’s SRX.

SRX is a proven high-end firewall (#1 in this category per Infonetics) which delivers consistently higher performance than PA-7050 through a platform that is modular (can add more cards to linearly scale):

- 6X higher IPsec VPN throughput

- 4x maximum concurrent sessions

- 2x firewall throughput performance

Scale and resiliency PAN offers only fixed configurations. This lack of modularity prohibits scaling and is not designed to withstand heavy load such as under a DDoS attack. Also, PAN can’t do load balancing (can do load sharing) -- makes their firewall more susceptible to malware

Juniper has a superior modular chassis and architecture that allows customers to easily expand against changing company networking and security needs including DDoS attacks. Our distributed data plane architecture distributes load and is scalable and higher performing.

attacks.

Downtime required to scale and add

new security devices

Juniper allows load balancing between pairs. Much more flexible and robust capabilities than PAN. SRX has Screens capability, while PAN does offer similar capability. Our patent pending ISSU and ISHU allows you to add on demand more compute and processing capabilities without security devices needing to be taken out of service.

Troubleshooting and tracing

Troubleshooting and tracing capabilities is extremely limited within PAN. Troubleshooting is a black box approach and mysterious in PAN.

Juniper offers flexible and robust troubleshooting capabilities. Just turn on tracing option in Junos. You can also do advanced troubleshooting through CLI capabilities vs. limited API for PAN.

Connectivity for High-end Data Center requirements

Not built for data center grade security – lacks advanced connectivity options such as 40G or higher.

Best in class connectivity with high port density featuring 10GE, 40GE and 100GE ports

Routing capabilities PAN’s dynamic routing implementation began from scratch just a few years ago and delivers only basic capabilities at a performance cost. There have been incidences of disastrous effects on local area networks.

Rich JunOS routing features on low end as well as high end SRX accompanied with strong IPV6 and dynamic routing protocol support At Juniper, the high quality of our routing in high end firewalls comes from two decades of continuous improvement. We offer Carrier Class Dynamic Routing (BGP/OSPF/ISIS).

Investment protection PAN offers preconfigured, fixed appliances only. This limits their ability to scale in the same appliance.

Juniper high-end SRX systems are modular, most with a chassis-based design. Customers can add new modules (cards) as they grow, to easily expand and scale. They are a better value.

Price for extended protection

Extremely expensive for commodity features such as application ID and user ID protection which are available from all the major vendors

Lower price than PAN for application ID and user ID protection (available through AppSecure license)

Fortinet

What To Lead with Fortinet Weakness Juniper Strength

Performance and Scale Collection of independent pieced together firewalls, so customers deploying Fortinet need to engineer the deployment to ensure that physical links are connected to the correct processing cards to distribute the load.

In SRX the placement of the physical links is agnostic. The Fabric for the SRX is designed in house and is the same that supports the MX family of products assuring long standing investment protection with bandwidth to spare. Because of our architecture, SRX5K can deliver about 2X better throughput
