Securing Ireland's digital ocean

Formerly using traditional firewalls, The Marine Institute needed greater granularity when accessing a multitude of applications, as well as the ability to allow various types of users, including its own staff and project partners, securely onto its local network. The Marine Institute required a comprehensive security solution with the ability to offer complete protection for its physical offices, research vessels, subsea observatory and frequently mobile staff. Juniper solutions gave the organization a lot more capability in this space than any other vendor.
 
The Marine Institute, a government agency founded to protect, promote and explore Ireland’s 880,000? km of ocean resources, provides advice, policy and monitoring of marine waters, dealing with issues such as the health of the food chain and research into levels of marine species stocks. Its wide remit includes collecting large amounts of scientific data from its SmartBay subsea observatory and other ongoing research projects. This information is vital to accelerating a range of developments across the marine sector and contributes to environmental monitoring, the development of advanced marine technologies, education and research, as well as maritime security.
