Juniper Networks has extended its SSL VPN security to the iPad with the release of a Juniper Pulse App for the iPad.

It is available as a free download from the iTunes store and, according to Juniper, enables anytime, anywhere secure remote access and connectivity to all enterprise resources, when used in conjunction with Juniper's broader Junos Pulse platform.

Sanjay Beri, vice president and general manager, Access and Acceleration Business Unit, Service Layer Technologies Business Group at Juniper Networks. 'Juniper's Junos Pulse App for iPad now provides the level of security customers require, removing the main barrier to enterprise adoption. Organisations can now have peace of mind that their mobile workforce is secure whether they are using laptops, smartphones or tablets."

According to Jeremy Duke, founder and principal analyst, Synergy Research Group. "IT administrators have been resistant to embracing these new mobile devices due to valid security concerns. Juniper's Junos Pulse App addresses these concerns, providing the necessary protection to enable these new mobile devices to be fully deployed in the enterprise."

Juniper says customers using Juniper's SSL VPN solution can begin deploying the app immediately to their global workforce. In addition to providing secure connectivity for the iPad and Apple iOS, Junos Pulse also offers security for Android, Blackberry, Symbian and Windows Mobile operating systems.
