Finally, Juniper Networks, Inc. (NYSE:JNPR), ended its last trade flat, and closed at $27.42.
Juniper Networks, the industry leader in network innovation, in partnership with the RAND Corporation, a nonprofit institution that assists improve policy and decision-making through research and analysis, unveiled new insights into the economic challenges, trade-offs and demands facing companies as they protect themselves against increasingly complex security threats.
The in-depth report by leading economic and cybersecurity experts at RAND found chief information security officers (CISOs) often face a chaotic and confusing landscape when deciding the most efficient and cost-effective way to manage the risks posed by security to their business. Most troubling, the research indicates that many companies are spending increasing amounts on cybersecurity tools, but are not confident that these investments are making their infrastructure secure.
Juniper Networks believes this dynamic is due to a lack of solid calculus that considers both the cost of security tools and resources, and the potential cost of a breach, which by definition is neither certain nor predictable. CISOs need a way to better understand the variables that most influence the cost of managing cybersecurity risk holistically and the different decisions they can make to protect their organizations. To address this need, RAND developed a heuristic economic model that for the first time maps the major factors and decisions that influence the cost of cyber-risk to organizations, which is discussed in “The Defender’s Dilemma: Charting a Course Toward Cybersecurity,” the second report of a two-part series.
Juniper Networks, Inc. designs, develops, and sells high-performance network products and services worldwide. It provides various routing products, counting ACX series universal access routers to deploy new high-bandwidth services; MX series Ethernet routers that functions as a universal edge platform; M series edge routers; PTX series packet transport routers; and T series routers.
