VIDEO: Juniper Networks SVP and GM of Security Nawaf Bitar

In a video interview with Enterprise Networking Planet, Nawaf Bitar, SVP and GM of Security at Juniper, explained how deception-based techniques are a key part of IT security.

Juniper has had deception-based defensive technologies in its portfolio ever since it acquired software vendor Mykonos for $80 million in February of 2012. That technology has since been rebranded as Juniper Web App Secure and uses all manner of deception techniques to trick attackers into following the wrong path.

“Juniper Web App Secure is designed for stopping outside-in threats,” Bitar said. “We’ve now taken the same techniques of intrusion deception and applied them to the campus and branch to the inside-out problem, where employees are doing damage or where threats have already infiltrated.”
