Juniper SSG Series Secure Services Gateways
Juniper's SSG Series is a broad family of high performance security appliances with integrated routing designed for organizations of virtually any size from small branch offices to large enterprises. SSG Series firewall/VPN devices feature built-in high-performance routing functionality plus the ability to protect against internal network, application-level, and content-based attacks. Integrated security features including antivirus, antispam, web filtering, and IPS deep inspection are each licensed annually. All devices in the SSG family are powered by Juniper's real-time, purpose-built ScreenOS software platform, and the 300 and 500 series products can be converted to Jupiter's Junos OS software platform.
