How do we respond to a notification?

All issues reported to the Security Incident Response Team will be investigated. Fixes will be generated where necessary and when applicable, per our policies, a security advisory will be released. Unless you inform us otherwise, it is our usual practice to cooperate with other affected security vendors and organizations such as CERT/CC to share vulnerability information and fixes. However, we will never forward the email that you send to us, and we will not pass on any information that could identify you, your company, your machines, or your configuration.

Please note: Juniper does not provide an advance notification service. Security fixes and advisories are freely available from our web site.
