Policy Enforcer interacts with other network elements like EX switches to enforce blocking of infected hosts based on threat intelligence from ATP Cloud and other sources. For more information, refer to Juniper Policy Enforcer Documentation.

In a Juniper automated threat mitigation setup involving Security Director, Policy Enforcer, Juniper ATP Cloud, SRX Series, and EX Series switches, the Policy Enforcer is the component responsible for blocking infected hosts. The role of each component is as follows:

Policy Enforcer (Correct: Option A):Policy Enforcer receives threat intelligence from Juniper ATP Cloud and instructs SRX devices and EX Series switches to block or quarantine infected hosts. Policy Enforcer pushes policies to these devices to enforce the mitigation actions.

Security Director (Incorrect):Security Director provides centralized management and visibility but does not directly enforce policies.

Juniper ATP Cloud (Incorrect):Juniper ATP Cloud is responsible for analyzing threats and providing intelligence but does not take direct mitigation actions.

EX Series Switch (Incorrect):EX Series switches can enforce the policy pushed by Policy Enforcer but are not responsible for deciding which hosts to block.
