With the advancements of both cloud and mobile technologies, security remains a hot topic for every company. The number of reported instances of security backdoors due to faulty code or hardware continues to stagger. A recent article by Wired has brought forth another one of these unfortunate issues for a big player: Juniper. This technology giant has been providing networking and firewall solutions to companies, corporations, and the government for a number of years.
As a leader in networking technology, the last thing you want to hear is that a tech powerhouse like Juniper has found an application security problem. Two security issues were identified after a code review session outside of the company’s normal evaluation cycle. Security continues to remain a primary concern as more companies, government agencies, and even individuals rely on technology providers to manage data or maintain smooth operations.
