Juniper, Symantec Join Forces to Secure Remote Hosts

Tim Greene writes in NetworkWorld:

Juniper Networks is announcing an agreement with Symantec for software that makes sure remote machines meet security policies before they can access Juniper SSL VPNs.

Based on technology Symantec acquired when it bought WholeSecure earlier this year, the Advanced Endpoint Defense Module downloads a software agent to remote machines to scan them for malicious code such as Trojans, keystroke loggers and viruses. The software can also monitor remote machines during SSL sessions to make sure their profiles don't change to an unacceptable state.
