Software Defined Perimeter
Zero Trust for Networks and Cloud
External network access to corporate resources has long been commonplace. Many employees work on the move and even more in their home offices. This trend is set to continue. In addition, advancing digitization is leading to the outsourcing of various services to the cloud. This is associated with various IT security risks, such as cyberattacks or data theft.
The Zero Trust security concept puts a stop to these risks. It is based on the philosophy that neither a device nor a user should be trusted before secure authentication has taken place.
What is Software Defined Perimeter?
Software Defined Perimeter hides devices and applications that reside in cloud applications and on the corporate network. Through private overlay-networks, Software Defined Perimeter can securely connect users and devices. The distinction from classic VPN is easily explained: VPN establishes a secure connection between sender and receiver, which can be compared to a tunnel. The data traffic is encrypted and the IP address is disguised or replaced by that of the VPN server. The content of the data transmission cannot be viewed from outside the tunnel. Software-defined perimeters, on the other hand, authenticate both the device and the user and allow access to only certain resources.
Added Value of Software Defined Perimeter vs. VPN
- Thanks to micro-segmentation, maximum reduction of the attack surface
- Individual definition of policies at user and device level
- Thanks to SaaS - minimal maintenance and low operating costs
- "Split tunneling" out of the box
- Prevention of account hijacking
- Highly scalable for any number of users
- Global availability
- Hosted in Germany & DSGVO compliant & German support
- ISO 27001 certified data center
- Zero Trust" support with NAC for 20 years
