Zero-Day Exploits Prevention

Question 1

Juniper’s IPS capabilities include signature-based detection as well as behavior-based anomaly detection. While signature-based detection can identify known threats, behavior-based detection can spot unusual or suspicious activities that may indicate a Zero-Day Exploit. The firewall can take immediate action to block or mitigate the threat.

Answer 1

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)

Question 2

Some Juniper Firewalls offer sandboxing and behavioral analysis features. When a file or application behaves abnormally or exhibits characteristics of a Zero-Day Exploit, it can be isolated in a controlled environment for analysis. This helps identify and prevent unknown threats.

Answer 2

Sandboxing and Behavioral Analysis

Question 3

Juniper Firewalls may utilize threat intelligence feeds that provide information about emerging threats, including Zero-Day Exploits. These feeds help the firewall stay up-to-date with the latest threat information and can enable proactive blocking of such threats.

Answer 3

Threat Intelligence and Zero-Day Feeds

Question 4

Juniper Firewalls can employ advanced anomaly detection techniques to identify traffic and behavior patterns that are indicative of Zero-Day Exploits. They can analyze network and application traffic for deviations from normal behavior and take preventive actions.

Answer 4

Advanced Anomaly Detection

Question 5

Juniper Firewalls can use heuristic analysis to identify suspicious code or behavior patterns that may indicate a Zero-Day Exploit. This approach doesn’t rely solely on known signatures but instead looks for unusual characteristics.

Answer 5

Heuristic Analysis
