Accelerating the AI-Native Networking adoption path for federal agencies to enhance user experiences and streamline operations

Juniper Networks®, (NYSE: JNPR), a leader in secure, AI-Native Networking, today announced that it has achieved FedRAMP® (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) “Moderate” Authorization for Juniper Mist Government Cloud, which includes wireless, wired, WAN, Marvis® Virtual Network Assistant (VNA), network access control, indoor location services and premium analytics.

Juniper Mist Government Cloud has met the Federal Government’s cloud security requirements and is certified to assist federal agencies as they accelerate their digital transformation efforts. The authorization process includes an in-depth examination of the solution’s data security posture and compliance with NIST SP 800-53 controls and is intended to remove duplication of assessment efforts across disparate federal agencies.

The FedRAMP Authorization was achieved via agency-ATO (Authority to Operate) and sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The Juniper Mist Government Cloud is specifically designed for use by federal agencies and federal system integrators. Many state and local agencies also leverage FedRAMP-authorized cloud services especially those that handle sensitive data or receive federal funding. It is built on a modern microservices cloud for elastic scale and resiliency to meet dynamic requirements and support mission-critical applications. The Juniper Mist AI-Native Networking Platform applies artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate key network operations tasks and proactively identify and resolve wired (including both campus fabric and distributed enterprise site topologies), wireless, network access, indoor location services and WAN networking issues before they impact user quality-of-service levels and ultimately end user experiences.

Juniper Mist Government Cloud further simplifies IT operations through Marvis VNA to accelerate problem identification and resolution for federal IT teams. With these capabilities, Juniper’s federal customers and partners can save time and money while maximizing the connected experiences across their network infrastructure.

With this certification and a growing number of federal networks now running Juniper’s solution securely, U.S. federal agencies and partners can adopt Juniper Mist cloud services with confidence, fully adhering to U.S. Government FedRAMP Moderate standard for cloud products and services. “Moderate Impact” systems account for nearly 80 percent of cloud service provider applications that receive FedRAMP authorization and are most appropriate for cloud service offerings where the loss of confidentiality, integrity and availability would result in serious adverse effects to an agency’s operations, assets or individuals.

With FedRAMP authorization, Juniper brings the power of AI-Native Networking to federal agencies and partners to boost efficiencies for these organizations while also securely connecting users to their applications.
