Strategic software upgrade drives sustainable business growth through improved user experiences, enhanced security performance and lower costs
stc has fully embraced Juniper’s AI-Native Security approach, which is an integral part of the Juniper AI-Native Networking Platform. By building end-to-end next-generation security rather than as an overlay, stc leverages better insight, automation and actions to protect users, applications and infrastructure. This creates a fully threat-aware, high-performance environment for stc’s customers while keeping attackers at bay.
The Automated Express Path+ software feature from Juniper has been activated in stc’s Juniper Networks® SRX 5800 Firewalls without the necessity for investing in new hardware. The new software automates the identification and accelerated flow of data. The upgraded security deployment can now process data efficiently up to 48 percent faster than before.
stc’s automation upgrade has enabled the company to gain significant CapEx and OpEx savings by streamlining the infrastructure’s overall efficiency. For example, the power consumption required to run the SRX gateways is reduced by up to 30 percent, concurrently supporting sustainability by allowing the deployment of more potent systems within a compact footprint. As a result, there is a substantial reduction in the cost per gigabit processed.
Customers using stc’s wide range of business and consumer services will benefit from optimized performance and security rigor as a result of the automation. For example, network latency (which can cause ‘jitter’ that depletes the quality of digital content) will be reduced by up to 600 percent, while the most stringent security policies are consistently and intelligently applied to data traffic at scale.

“Service providers face increasingly demanding expectations from users for fast data throughput and available bandwidth, based on the huge potential of 5G. But the need for the most sophisticated, threat-aware security, capable of successfully identifying and mitigating a wide range of known and unknown threats across a broad range of apps, work flows and roles at line-speed, is equally important. stc understands that intelligent automation is the key to delivering both, ensuring that its investment in a high-performance, experience-first network is not impeded by slow or ineffectual security.”
- Mike Spanbauer, Technology Evangelist, Juniper Networks
