How Does Tunneling Working Within The Juniper Networks Solutions

When sending data between network-connected devices or between locations, ensuring the data is transmitted in a safe and secure manner is extremely important. Tunneling is one primary method to assure data security in transmitting data through establishing a secure private path through otherwise private networks. These "tunnels" connect arbitrary private networks in creating an encrypted channel for data to transmit through.

This tunneling strategy is the foundation of a secure location to location data transmission so it’s only reasonable that end-to-end IT solutions such as Juniper Networks design their solutions with security strategies in mind. For instance, within the Juniper SRX Services devices, Juniper provides various tunnel interface types that are supported when looking to establish secure data transmission. With Juniper Networks, organizations not only benefit from a holistic end-to-end IT infrastructure but also one that’s designed with secure data transfer in mind.
