The StateRAMP organization has announced that Juniper Mist™ has earned the StateRAMP Authorized certification, demonstrating the highest level of compliance with all required security controls for moderate impact. Now state and local governments and educational institutions can confidently leverage Juniper AIOps to achieve these proven, fundamental outcomes:
- Improve the experience of network operators, users, and connected assets
- Automate network processes important to state and local governments and education
- Gain financial benefits measured in time and effort saved
- Leverage the evolutionary benefits of AIOps
“We are thrilled to announce that Juniper Mist has successfully achieved StateRAMP certification, a testament to their commitment to robust cybersecurity practices. We eagerly anticipate our continued collaboration, navigating the continuous monitoring process together and ensuring the highest standards of security as we move forward,” said Leah McGrath, StateRAMP Executive Director.
Mist AI optimizes user experiences from client to cloud and delivers automated event correlation, root cause identification, self-driving network operations, network assurance, proactive anomaly detection, and more. Juniper also leverages Mist AI for next-generation customer support. For example, it includes the industry’s first conversational Virtual Network Assistant, Marvis, which provides extensive insights and proactive guidance to IT staff via seven years of learning and a natural language conversational interface. Mist AI saves operators time and money with faster problem resolution and fewer onsite visits. Agencies, citizens, and students benefit from a network infrastructure that is more predictable, reliable, and secure.
“Just as cloud has completely transformed what’s possible for government agencies and educational institutions, we know AI is the next big shift that will further benefit these customers and the citizens they serve. A single authorization that can span wireless, switching, SD-WAN, and security signifies clear intent for AI-Native networking” said Juniper’s Ben Caruso, Field CTO – State & Local Government.
The StateRAMP certification is a green light for building cloud networks to serve agency objectives and the people who depend on them for vital services. The certification not only provides a stamp of approval regarding the security of the technology, but streamlines the procurement process, helping agencies plan and execute new projects and select from a pre-vetted list of cloud service providers.
With this certification, government agencies and educational institutions can have the assurance that their cloud data is securely handled according to strict standards set by the FedRAMP program[1], the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the International Standards Organization (ISO).
The University of Texas at San Antonio is a great example of an educational institution using Juniper Mist to its fullest advantage. Using Mist, a small IT team can manage a vast network of 1,000 switches and 60 buildings across three campuses.
Nassos Galiopoulos, CTO and deputy CIO at The University of Texas San Antonio, shared that, “Juniper hit the sweet spot of allowing us to deploy a new network architecture that would meet our requirements for student experience, cybersecurity, and operational excellence.”
