The Juniper Networks SSG 500 Series represents a new class of purpose-built security appliance that delivers a perfect mix of performance, security and LAN/WAN connectivity for regional and branch office deployments. Traffic flowing in and out of the branch office is protected from worms, Spyware, Trojans, and malware by a complete set of Unified Threat Management (UTM) security features including:

• Stateful firewall
  
• IPSec VPN
  
• IPS - Deep Inspection Firewall
  
• Antivirus (includes Anti-Spyware, Anti-Adware, Anti-Phishing)
  
• Anti-Spam
  
• Web Filtering

Complementing the powerful UTM security features is a robust routing engine that allows the SSG 500 Series to be deployed as a traditional branch office router or as a combination firewall and routing device to reduce capital and operational expenses.

• SSG 520: The SSG 520 delivers 600 Mbps of IMIX firewall traffic and 300 Mbps of IPSec VPN.
• SSG 550: The SSG 550 delivers 1 Gbps of IMIX firewall traffic and 500 Mbps of IPSec VPN. The SSG 550 supports redundant power supplies and is NEBS compliant.

The SSG 520 and SSG 550 are ideally suited for regional/branch offices, medium businesses and service providers that want a security platform to protect their WAN and high speed internal networks while extending the platform return on investment through high levels of system and interface modularity.
