Overview

The Juniper Networks Secure Services Gateway 500 Series (SSG) represents a new class of purpose-built security appliance that delivers a perfect mix of performance, security and LAN/WAN connectivity for regional and branch office deployments. Traffic flowing in and out of the branch office is protected from worms, Spyware, Trojans, and malware by a complete set of Unified Threat Management (UTM) security features including Stateful firewall, IPSec VPN, IPS, Antivirus (includes Anti-Spyware, Anti-Adware, Anti-Phishing), Anti-Spam, and Web Filtering.

Complementing the powerful UTM security features is a robust routing engine that allows the SSG 500 Series to be deployed as a traditional branch office router or as a combination firewall and routing device to reduce capital and operational expenses.

• SSG 520/SSG 520M: The SSG 520 and SSG 520M deliver 650+ Mbps of firewall traffic and 300 Mbps of IPSec VPN.
• SSG 550/SSG 550M: The SSG 550 and SSG 550M deliver 1+ Gbps of firewall traffic and 500 Mbps of IPSec VPN. The SSG 550 supports redundant power supplies and is NEBS compliant.

The SSG 500 Series are ideally suited for regional/branch offices, medium businesses and service providers that want a security platform to protect their WAN and high speed internal networks while extending the platform return on investment through high levels of system and interface modularity.

• Site-to-site IPSec VPN to establish secure communications between offices
• Denial of service (DoS) mitigation capabilities
• Application Layer Gateways for H.323, SIP, SCCP and MGCP to inspect and protect VoIP traffic
• Wide range of LAN and WAN interfaces supporting Serial, T1/E1, DS3, 10/100/1000, SFP and FE
• Interface and routing flexibility for varying network connectivity requirements and future growth requirements
• Multiple high availability options with sub-second failover between interfaces or devices
• Customizable security zones to increase interface density without additional hardware expenditures, lower policy creation costs, contain unauthorized users and attacks, and simplify management of firewall/VPNs
• Management through graphical Web UI, CLI, or the NetScreen-Security Manager central management system
• Policy-based management to allow centralized, end-to-end life-cycle management
• Upgrade to JUNOS 8.0 or greater can be purchased separately (SSG 520M and SSG 550M only).

Specifications

(1) UTM Security features (IPS/Deep Inspection, Antivirus, Anti-Spam and Web filtering) are delivered by annual subscriptions purchased separately from Juniper Networks. Annual subscriptions provide signature updates and associated support. The high memory option is required for UTM Security features.

(2) Redirect Web filtering sends traffic to a secondary server and therefore entails purchasing a separate Web filtering license from either Websense or SurfControl
