IoT Vulnerabilities Prevention

Question 1

Juniper Firewalls can implement network segmentation to isolate IoT devices from critical systems and sensitive data. This prevents compromised IoT devices from directly accessing critical resources.

Answer 1

Network Segmentation

Question 2

IDS/IPS capabilities in Juniper Firewalls can detect and block suspicious activities on the network, including those originating from vulnerable IoT devices. They can identify and alert on potential IoT-related threats.

Answer 2

Intrusion Detection/Prevention System (IDS/IPS)

Question 3

Juniper Firewalls enforce access control policies and authentication requirements for IoT device connections. This ensures that only authorized devices can connect to the network, reducing the risk of unauthorized IoT devices introducing vulnerabilities.

Answer 3

Access Control and Authentication

Question 4

While not a firewall feature, Juniper emphasizes the importance of regularly updating and patching IoT device firmware. Keeping IoT devices up to date with security patches is essential to address known vulnerabilities.

Answer 4

Firmware and Patch Management

Question 5

Some Juniper Firewalls use behavior-based analysis to identify abnormal behavior patterns in network traffic. This helps detect IoT devices behaving in unexpected or malicious ways and allows for proactive action.

Answer 5

Behavior-Based Analysis
