The Juniper Networks SSG5 and
SSG20 Secure Services Gateways are
purpose-built security appliances
that deliver a perfect blend of
performance, security, routing and
LAN/WAN connectivity for small
branch offi ces, fi xed telecommuters
and small standalone business
deployments. Traffi c fl owing in
and out of the branch offi ce or
business is protected from worms,
spyware, trojans, and malware by
a complete set of Unifi ed Threat
Management security features that
include stateful fi rewall, IPsec VPN,
intrusion prevention system (IPS),
antivirus (includes anti-spyware,
anti-adware, anti-phishing), antispam and Web fi ltering.
Product Description
The Juniper Networks® SSG5 and SSG20 Secure Services Gateways are highperformance security platforms for small branch offi ce and standalone businesses that
want to stop internal and external attacks, prevent unauthorized access and achieve
regulatory compliance. Both the SSG5 and SSG20 deliver 160 Mbps of stateful fi rewall
traffi c and 40 Mbps of IPsec VPN traffi c.
Security: Protection against worms, viruses, trojans, spam, and emerging malware is
delivered by proven unifi ed threat management (UTM) security features that are backed
by best-in-class partners. To address internal security requirements and facilitate
regulatory compliance, the SSG5 and SSG20 both support an advanced set of network
protection features such as security zones, virtual routers and VLANs that allow
administrators to divide the network into distinct secure domains, each with its own
unique security policy. Policies protecting each security zone can include access control
rules and inspection by any of the supported UTM security features.

Connectivity and Routing: The SSG5 has seven on-board 10/100
interfaces with optional fixed WAN ports. The SSG20 has five
10/100 interfaces with two I/O expansion slots for additional
WAN connectivity. The broad array of I/O options coupled
with WAN protocol and encapsulation support in the routing
engine make both the SSG5 and the SSG20 a solution that can
easily be deployed as a traditional branch office router or as a
consolidated security and routing device to reduce CapEx and
OpEx. Both the SSG5 and SSG20 support 802.11 a/b/g as a factory
configured option supported by a wide array of wireless specific
security features.
Access Control Enforcement: The SSG5 and SSG20 can act
as enforcement points in a Juniper Networks Unified Access
Control deployment with the simple addition of the IC Series
UAC appliance. The IC Series functions as a central policy
management engine, interacting with the SSG5 or SSG20 to
augment or replace the firewall-based access control with a
solution that grants/denies access based on more granular
criteria that include endpoint state and user identity in order to
accommodate the dramatic shifts in attack landscape and user
characteristics.
World Class Support: From simple lab testing to major network
implementations, Juniper Networks Professional Services will
collaborate with your team to identify goals.
