Juniper has released a UAC system that incorporates features from its recent corporate acquisitions.
UAC (unified access control) 2.0 includes elements of Juniper Networks’ Odyssey Access Client and Steel-Belted Radius technology, both originally developed by recently acquired Funk Software.
The system is designed around open standards, according to Juniper, making it easier to integrate with third-party products and systems.
“Juniper has delivered on the promise it made less than a year ago when we acquired Funk Software, combining Funk’s market-leading 802.1X components and Radius technologies with our existing UAC solution,” said Hitesh Sheth, vice president of security products at Juniper.
“With UAC 2.0, we have set the bar in the network access control market for deployment flexibility and interoperability, enabling customers to… secure access across distributed networks,” Sheth went on to say.
