Software-Defined Perimeter Security
State-of-the-Art Solution
Traditional security strategies take a “castle and moat” approach that treat the enterprise network as a physical entity with clearly defined borders that can be protected. In today’s virtualized world, however, boundaries in the traditional sense no longer exist. As a result, new approaches are needed to address the challenge of continually evolving threats in increasingly complex environments.
Our Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) solution addresses the challenges of virtualization by enabling provisioning and management of next-generation firewalls. You focus on your core business while maintaining an enterprise-grade security posture. SDP carves out specifically defined boundaries of access to different entities, regardless of physical location. This allows remote workers to access files related to their jobs, IT contractors to access applications they’re testing and suppliers to access orders of the products they’re supplying. By defining and restricting network access based on the user profile and permissions, as well as the context of each connection, we enhance security and the ability to monitor vulnerabilities within the virtual network. Our solution also improves security at a local level by securing user devices from inbound connections. This addresses concerns about malicious users accessing devices on public local networks.
