Brute Force Attacks Prevention

Question 1

Juniper Firewalls can enforce access control policies that limit the number of login attempts or implement account lockout mechanisms. This restricts the ability of attackers to perform multiple brute force attempts.

Answer 1

Access Control Policies

Question 2

IDS/IPS capabilities in Juniper Firewalls can detect and alert on patterns indicative of brute force attacks, such as repeated login failures. They can identify and alert or block malicious login attempts.

Answer 2

Intrusion Detection/Prevention System (IDS/IPS)

Question 3

Juniper Firewalls can enforce the use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) for remote access and critical systems. MFA adds an additional layer of security, making it significantly more challenging for attackers to succeed with brute force.

Answer 3

Intrusion Detection/Prevention System (IDS/IPS)

Question 4

Juniper Firewalls can implement rate limiting rules that restrict the number of login attempts within a specified time frame. This prevents rapid and excessive brute force attempts.

Answer 4

Rate Limiting

Question 5

Some Juniper Firewalls use behavior-based analysis to detect abnormal login patterns. If an account exhibits unusual behavior, such as repeated login attempts, the firewall can take action to block or alert.
