Becoming a Future - Ready Enterprise with AI

The need for innovation and applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven networks is pivotal in enabling digital transformation towards a network that is intelligent, agile, secure and open to any vendor and any network environment.

Juniper Networks, a leader in secure, AI networking offers products and solutions which simplifies the process for businesses and organisations that are transitioning into the multi-cloud era using secure and automated AI-driven networks.

Its recent global survey on AI readiness and adoption shows that 75% of APAC respondents now consider AI a top strategic priority.

How does the AI-driven network apply in the larger tech ecosystem?

For the remote workforce:

● Being able to automate repetitive and routine tasks which creates operational efficiencies and reduces costs. ● Customers benefit from enhanced services that are driven by accurate insight and delivered with greater precision and consistency. ● Inconsistencies such as unstable home internet are addressed by Juniper’s AI-Driven Enterprise - a cloud-native platform that leverages Mist AI and Marvis Virtual Network Assistant (VNA) to optimise network for each individual needs. ● Marvis VNA is the industry’s first AI-driven Virtual Network Assistant with an interactive conversational interface that identifies and remediates problems, applying solutions to reduce the overhead required. It also provides simple recommendations to complex problems. ● These tools save time and money while maximising the value of the company's network infrastructure

For on-site workforce:

● As we embrace the endemic phase of COVID-19, Mist AI will be valuable for contact tracing. ● Currently, Alamanda College in Melbourne readies this by identifying contact tracing through indoor locations services as well as wayfinding services on campus. ● Recently JoongAng Group, South Korea’s leading media conglomerate, has transformed its enterprise networking experience with Juniper’s wired and wireless solutions driven by Mist AI to create a secure and productive mobile work environment.

Juniper’s cloud services uniquely leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate key tasks, proactively address issues before they arise, and deliver unparalleled insight into the user, device, and application.

This all allows businesses to save time and optimise costs while maximizing the value of its network infrastructure.

Key capabilities enabled by Juniper cloud services: ● Wired access, wireless access, and SD-WAN – Automated event correlation, root cause identification, Self-Driving Network™ operations, network assurance, proactive anomaly detection, and more. ● Security – Real-time actionable intel for threat prevention and protection, and unified security management and monitoring on-premises and in the cloud. ● WAN Routing – Network health and diagnostics with corrective actions, multi-vendor configuration and service orchestration, and workflow and closed-loop automation.

Juniper Networks also uses open APIs to provide seamless integration with external tools and systems to help further increase agility and network visibility while reducing costs.

In 2020, a total of 838 cybersecurity incidents were reported between March 16 and April 7 to Cyber Security Malaysia (CSM). It was an increase of 82.5 percent compared to the same period in 2019.

Juniper Networks is constantly looking for opportunities to help customers to get a better handle of potential threats and improve risk detection response.

The Juniper Cloud Workload Protection automatically defends application workloads in any cloud or on-premise data center environment and the Juniper Security Director Cloud enables organisations to manage security anywhere and everywhere with a unified policy management and facilities transition to a SASE architecture.

Juniper Networks has pushed the boundaries of connectivity through continuous innovation and today it has provided services to more than 30,000 enterprises worldwide, including the Global Fortune 100 as well as hundreds of federal, state and local government agencies including higher educational organisations.
