Hello, 

First of all, thanks for taking the time to find and read this blog!  I am Kevin Peterson, Sr. Product Manager at Juniper Networks for the SSL VPN product line, and this site is just my little gift back to all of those that share the same passion for security and the Juniper Secure Access products.

The purpose of this blog is to provide an effective means to communicate pretty much anything related to the SSL VPN space from the seemingly insignificant to the strategically important.  Being a product manager for the SSL VPN and having worked with the product since 2002, I am well positioned to share thoughts and ideas that just don’t make it into other forums. 

But on a day-to-day basis, this blog is more about just reaching out to all those who share the same passion and seek the same deep thoughts.  Here’s a brief overview of the high-value updates you can expect:

• Product Updates: I’m not going to blast out a bunch of marketing fluff or updates every time a new software update is posted on the download site.  I don’t have the time for it, the content exists elsewhere, and I don’t think that’s what you want to read about here.  Instead, this the product updates will be much deeper, such as providing deeper insight as to why we implemented a feature in a certain way.
• Competitive Analysis: No, I’m not going to bash competitors or go on and on about success stories.  Often times there are just things that come up in a competitive setting that scream to be shared, especially when they might offer deep insight into key security decisions or provide alternative solutions that might seem to be hidden to all but the most experienced admins.
• Community: As the product continues to grow, it’s increasingly important to have a community of voices that extends well beyond “major accounts”.  Hearing customers of all shapes and sizes and then sharing the most current information available is just more of what makes this product so much fun for me personally, and I’m sure for you as well.
