ISG 2000 to Secure Network Traffic with Firewall/VPN Platform

IP Converge, a subsidiary of IPVG has deployed the Juniper Networks Integrated Security Gateway (ISG) 2000 Firewall/Virtual Private Network (VPN) to secure its network infrastructure. The ISG 2000 protects IP Converge's network edge, including traffic from all peering partners and upstream providers.

"Our Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) and intrusion mitigation solution, which leverages Juniper's ISG 2000 platform, is the first and only one of its kind in the Philippines", said Warren Liu, chief technology officer of IP Converge.

He added, "Because of increasing severity and variety of threats on the Internet, we needed a high performance, yet reliable, solution to protect our range of customer network applications -- including web traffic, voice, data and video based applications. The ISG 2000 is a component of our network defense strategy, preventing router and switch CPU overload if we are under a DDoS attack and also providing forensic data to assist us in determining attack source and type".

"We selected the ISG 2000 because it can incorporate Juniper's best-in-class firewall and IPS technologies into a single box", added Roberto Suarez, vice president, Technical Operations, IP Converge.

"The dual trends of increasing diversity in customer network traffic and increasing complexity of network threats are pointing to the need for more comprehensive threat mitigation platforms", said Brad Gray, vice president of Asia South Pacific for Juniper Networks. "By securing their network edge with our ISG platform, service providers, such as IP Converge, help alleviate the burden of adequate network security from business customers so those customers can focus on core competencies".
