Day One: SRX Series Up and Running with Advanced Security Services

Set up the SRX Series as a next-generation firewall and take advantage of its advanced security features, including machine-learning malware prevention capabilities. 


From a security perspective, the SRX Series goes beyond traditional stateful firewalls, providing Unified Threat Management (UTM), Advanced Anti-Malware detection and blocking (Sky ATP), reputation blocking (Security Intelligence), and a complete set of next-generation firewall services (NGFW): Application Firewall, Application QOS, Application Routing, SSL Proxy Inspection, and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). But there isn’t an all-in-one document that explains how you can easily configure all this. Until now.


Day One: SRX Series Up and Running with Advanced Security Services walks you through the SRX Series setup using advanced security measures to protect and defend your network. Learn how to spend more time analyzing security traffic than fixing common configuration issues with your new SRX Series – chapter by chapter this book shows you how.


“The Juniper Networks SRX Series Security platforms provide exceptional security for networks needing to secure their infrastructure and Alexandre Cezar has written a thorough guide on setting up, configuring, and operating these advanced services on the SRX platform. This Day One book is easy to use as Cezar demystifies network security engineering along the way.” - Harry Cornwell, Juniper Networks, JDI Technical Marketing Engineer-L7 Services


“This book is an invaluable guide for SRX administrators, both new and old, looking to better acquaint themselves with the latest features and functionality available on the platform.” - Craig Dods, Chief Architect, Security, Juniper Networks
