Juniper Networks to Acquire Funk Software
SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Juniper Networks signed a definitive agreement to acquire Funk Software, a leading provider of standards-based network access security solutions, in a cash transaction valued at approximately $122 million. This acquisition will bring key technology to enhance Juniper Networks' recently announced unified access control solution and further its strategy to secure and assure the delivery and performance of applications over an IP network.
Funk Software develops products and technologies that protect the integrity of the network by ensuring both the user and the device meet an organization's security policies before they are granted access. These solutions include market-leading products such as its RADIUS/AAA server, Steel-Belted Radius, Odyssey Client, an 802.1X client for wireless and wired networks and its recently introduced Endpoint Assurance Product suite for network-based enforcement of endpoint integrity.
Built on open standards, including those developed by the Trusted Computing Group's Trusted Network Connect (TNC) subgroup, Funk Software's products are interoperable with products from a broad range of security and infrastructure vendors and are in widespread use on every type of network, public and private, wired and wireless. These solutions complement Juniper Networks' existing endpoint intelligence, policy control and enforcement capabilities with Layer 2 support, thereby ensuring comprehensive security across both wired and wireless networks.
