Use cases of SDP
Used as an alternative to VPN: SDP allows users to access applications faster and verify their identities with a single sign-on, keeping them happy and productive. Users who are permitted to use the application are the only ones who can connect to it. Users are never put on the network, and their IP addresses are never revealed.
Multi-cloud access with secured connection: For both developers and end-users, the direct-to-cloud strategy delivers a seamless user experience. Regardless of the application type, device, or location. SDP is very agile and scalable since it is software-based, whereas appliances cannot grow beyond their restricted capacity. SDP provides secure remote access on a “need to know” basis by granting access based on detailed rules.
Risk Reduction: IT administrators can use SDP to restrict third-party access to just permission apps. This essentially prevents users from moving laterally within the network. VPN gateways no longer require third-party partners to log in.
Broad Network Access Prevention: Individual entities are unable to access large network subnets or segments due to SDPs. As a result, devices can only connect to specified hosts and services that are allowed by policy. This minimizes the network’s attack surface. It also stops malicious software and individuals from checking for vulnerabilities.
SDPs Can Connect Anything: Software-Defined Security enables staff employees to connect to IT resources they need. It also removes the need for expensive mounting hardware and time-consuming administration.
Software-Defined Perimeter(SDP)
Software-defined Perimeter (SDP) is a network infrastructure that protects cloud-based and on-premise data centers using remote capabilities. The purpose of an SDP strategy is to employ software rather than hardware as the foundation for the network perimeter. The SDP was created by the Cloud Security Alliance in 2013 as a solution for secure networks that minimized the danger of data breaches.
Secure access to network-based services, applications, and systems in public and private clouds, as well as on-premises, is provided by SDP as it cloaks systems within the perimeter so others can’t see them, the SDP technique is frequently referred to as creating a “black cloud.”
