Antispam filtering at the router blocks spam, malware and phishing before they reach the network. How Juniper SRX combines firewall, IPS, VPN and antispam.
Editorial note: Juniper Networks is now part of Hewlett Packard Enterprise and operates as HPE Juniper Networking. The product names Juniper SRX, EX and Mist remain unchanged; the short form is used in the text.
Spam emails carry not only unwanted advertising but also malware and phishing links. Antispam filtering at the router blocks such emails before they reach the network. Juniper SRX from HPE Juniper Networking provides this function together with firewall, IPS and VPN.
Why filter at the router
If emails are filtered at the router, unwanted messages burden neither the network nor the bandwidth. Malicious emails are blocked before they can do any damage.
Antispam with Juniper SRX
Juniper SRX is a security platform with an integrated antispam filter. Firewall, IPS, VPN and antivirus run on the same platform. It also provides an application-level gateway and content filtering, which can be combined with the antispam filter.
Key points
- Antispam filtering at the router keeps spam, malware and phishing away from the network.
- Juniper SRX combines antispam, firewall, IPS, VPN and antivirus.
- Application-level gateway and content filtering complement the protection.
