Eavesdropping & Sniffling Prevention

Question 1

Juniper Firewalls support encryption protocols and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to secure data in transit. These technologies encrypt network traffic, making it unreadable to unauthorized eavesdroppers or network sniffers.

Answer 1

Encryption and VPNs

Question 2

Juniper Firewalls can filter and control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined rules. They can block traffic from untrusted sources and restrict access to sensitive resources, reducing the likelihood of eavesdropping.

Answer 2

Packet Filtering and Access Control

Question 3

Some Juniper Firewalls offer content inspection capabilities. They can inspect network packets for malicious payloads and patterns associated with network sniffing tools. If detected, the firewall can take action to block or alert on suspicious activity.

Answer 3

Content Inspection

Question 4

Juniper Firewalls can implement port security measures to prevent unauthorized devices from connecting to network ports. This helps mitigate the risk of rogue devices performing eavesdropping or network sniffing.

Answer 4

Port Security

Question 5

Juniper Firewalls equipped with WIDS capabilities can monitor wireless networks for unauthorized access points and suspicious wireless activities. They can detect and mitigate the risks associated with network sniffing over Wi-Fi.

Answer 5

Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS)
