Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Juniper Networks Secure Services Gateway 5 (SSG 5) and Secure Services Gateway 20 (SSG 20) are purpose-built security appliances that deliver a perfect blend of performance, security and LAN\WAN connectivity for small branch office and small business deployments. Traffic flowing in and out of the branch office can be protected from worms, Spyware, Trojans, and malware by a complete set of Universal Threat Management (UTM) security features including Stateful firewall, IPSec VPN, IPS, Antivirus (includes Anti-Spyware, Anti-Adware, Anti-Phishing), Anti-Spam, and Web Filtering.
Security level exceptions
- Cryptographic Module Specification: Level 3
- EMI/EMC: Level 3
