Juniper Networks partners say the networking vendor needs to step up its game in security after reporting a 29 percent drop in security revenue for its third fiscal quarter ended Sept. 30.
Although partners recognize that Juniper’s bread-and-butter networking products are gaining some steam, security needs a serious shot in the arm sooner rather than later, they say.
“They’ve been shrinking in the security space, so it’s a real concern to us,” said Dominic Grillo, executive vice president of Atrion Communications, a Branchburg, N.J.-based solution provider and longtime Juniper partner.
