5. Juniper Networks SRX

 

Features :

  • Juniper Networks SRX series NGFW can assess various applications on a network for security threats.
  • It can also report on user behavior and contextual information that can privide an insight on which applications are permitted and what risks they may possess.
  • Users can create policies to control or block access to high-risk applications.
  • It can also report on application bandwidth usage and throttle applications that are not sanctioned by the enterprise.
  • It includes IPS and Advanced Threat Protection to protect against known and unknown threats.
  • It enables URL filtering that can be used to protect against malicious URLs.
  • It can restrict application usage on a per-user basis by integrating with Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). As a result, one can get visibility and control of application and network usage segmented by user-defined roles, which in turn can help combating insider threats.
  • Using Juniper Networks SRX NGFW one can also monitor applications embedded in common network protocols such as HTTP or HTTPS traffic. It provides also SSL Inspection using which one can monitor encrypted traffic.

 

Price : Juniper Networks has several SRX series NGFW. Please contact sales for more information.

Calculate the pseudoinverse of a matrix using Python

What is the pseudoinverse of a matrix? We know that if A is a square matrix with full rank, then A-1 is said to be the inverse of A if the following condition holds: $latex AA^{-1}=A^{-1}A=I $ The pseudoinverse or the Moore-Penrose inverse of a matrix is a...

Cholesky decomposition using Python

What is Cholesky decomposition? A square matrix A is said to have Cholesky decomposition if it can be written as a product of a lower triangular matrix and its conjugate transpose. $latex A=LL^{*} $ If all the entries of A are real numbers, then the conjugate...

Tensor Hadamard Product using Python

In one of our previous articles, we already discussed what the Hadamard product in linear algebra is. We discussed that if A and B are two matrices of size mxn, then the Hadamard product of A and B is another mxn matrix C such that: $latex H_{i,j}=A_{i,j} \times...

Perform tensor addition and subtraction using Python

We can use numpy nd-array to create a tensor in Python. We can use the following Python code to perform tensor addition and subtraction. import numpy A = numpy.random.randint(low=1, high=10, size=(3, 3, 3)) B = numpy.random.randint(low=1, high=10, size=(3, 3, 3)) C =...

How to create a tensor using Python?

What is a tensor? A tensor is a generalization of vectors and matrices. It is easily understood as a multidimensional array. For example, in machine learning, we can organize data in an m-way array and refer it as a data tensor. Data related to images, sounds, movies,...

How to combine NumPy arrays using horizontal stack?

We can use the hstack() function from the numpy module to combine two or more NumPy arrays horizontally. For example, we can use the following Python code to combine three NumPy arrays horizontally. import numpy A = numpy.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]) B =...

How to combine NumPy arrays using vertical stack?

Letโ€™s say we have two or more NumPy arrays. We can combine these NumPy arrays vertically using the vstack() function from the numpy module. For example, we can use the following Python code to combine three NumPy arrays vertically. import numpy A = numpy.array([[1, 2,...

Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) using Python

What is Singular Value Decomposition (SVD)? Let A be an mxn rectangular matrix. Using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), we can decompose the matrix A in the following way: $latex A_{m \times n}=U_{m \times m}S_{m \times n}V_{n \times n}^T $ Here, U is an mxm matrix....
