No More Tokens!!!

Juniper says "Good Bye Tokens" with Oracle Adaptive Access Manager (OAAM)

As the #1 SSL VPN provider with 92% of Fortune 100 and 8 of top 10 commercial banks plus 47 of 50 US State Governments, odds are you have used a Juniper SSL VPN to connect to your employer, partner, or service provider … and odds are you had to use a hardware security token.

While tokens like RSA BSAFE provide an accepted alternative to passwords, they are clunky, costly, and not secure from many potential attacks like man-in-the-middle or man-in-the-browser.

Looking to help customers overcome these challenges, Juniper partnered with Oracle to integrate the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager (OAAM) which not only provides a software alternative to tokens, greatly improving the user experience and dramatically lowering TCO, it also saves hard dollars and protects the organization’s reputation with real-time fraud detection.

More specifically OAAM provides:

• Strong, multi-factor authentication for secure access control
• Seamless interoperability with hetergenous App Servers (IBM, BEA, SAP, etc.)
• Enforces access at the protected resources thru web plug-ins
• Delegates authentication and authorization decisions to a central authority
  

Which compliments the existing features and security of Juniper SA SSL VPN such as:

• Provides secure, encrypted communication channel for all remote users from anywhere and from any device
• Enforces Oracle’s policy based authentication and authorization policies at perimeter
• Provide 3 different levels of connectivity, going beyond just web support, including Layer 3 VPN connectivity for fat clients, VoIP, streaming, FTP, and more
• Performs comprehensive “Host-Checking” to ensure end-point integrity
• Enables coordinated identity based threat response and prevention with other products
  

The benefits include:

• Lower cost and complexity of authenticating users
• Eliminates non-user friendly, expensive gadgets, tokens or proprietary software downloads
• Host checker + real-time fraud prevention provides greatest overall access security
• Low-cost, flexible way for enteprises to extend strong authentication to partners, suppliers, contractors, and non-employees accessing critical applications
• Native integration eliminates need for OAAM’s UIO option
  
  

How does this really save me money? - Good question! Here is how it works:

Lower Hardware Costs

• Mitigates need to provide SSL on each Web / App Server; fewer servers
• Single appliance scales to thousands of simultaneous users
• Carrier-class reliability and HA features

Lower Management Costs

• Seamlessly leverage and instantly extend I&AM policies to remote users
• Eliminate need to duplicate policies across servers and networks
• Plug ‘n play integration – deployment guides and Oracle reference architectures
• Leverage combined audit and log data for compliance

Lower Business Risk

• Moves OAM policy enforcement point out to network perimeter, increasing security
• Coordinated identity-based threat response to attacks
• Comprehensive identity based access logs
