Case Study: Juniper Networks achieves enhanced malware detection and secure remote access with OPSWAT Metadefender Endpoint Management

Juniper Networks - Customer Case Study

Juniper Networks faced the challenge of ensuring endpoints were healthy and properly protected before granting network access, balancing user productivity with security. To extend Juniper’s Host Checker capabilities, OPSWAT’s Metadefender Endpoint Management (formerly OPSWAT Gears) was used as an integrated fallback check to detect security applications and verify endpoint health.

OPSWAT integrated its cloud-based Metadefender Endpoint Management into Juniper Host Checker to perform high-performance multi‑engine scans on endpoints that Host Checker could not fully validate. The combined solution increased malware detection rates, reduced unnecessary access denials, and preserved secure remote access for hundreds of concurrent users—demonstrated in deployment with a large global bank employing over 100,000 people across more than 3,000 locations. OP SWAT’s integration improved usability while maintaining a high level of network protection.
