Software-defined
perimeter (SDP)
leverage a ‘non-
discoverability’
approach to enable
secure access
to devices and
applications across
a public cloud.
Protecting critical infrastructure is
crucial for the daily running of nations
and communities. By using SDP to
protect the applications used to control
gas and electric systems, energy and
utilities organisations can prevent their
valuable systems from being breached
and disrupted.
Hackers can’t attack what they
can’t see
transactions. In the meantime, the bank’s
security/cyberteam will be watching the
breach in real-time and working behind
the scenes to stop it and minimise impact. Mergers and acquisitions are highly
confidential, with only a certain group
of people allowed into the trusted circle
whilst the negotiations are taking place.
Or a manufacturer of a beverage or food
that has a ‘secret recipe’, a recipe that
if it was made public would cause the
business to collapse. A specialised SDP group can assist
in ensuring only certain people are
allowed access to the business sensitive
documents, as access would be
restricted by authentication only, and the
online addresses hidden from public view.
SDP would be used to hide this
valuable information away from the rest
of the world; accessed only by a few
chosen individuals.

Information could be shared freely
without the threat of compromise.
Cybercriminal activity is increasing
and instead of making propriety and
business critical information visible on
the web via IP addresses that can be
Googled and then infiltrated, companies
need to take matters into their own
hands and protect the assets they
regard as most valuable to their business
success. In today’s digital age, they can
no longer rely on the security solutions
that protected the rigid perimeters of the
past. It is time for a change, a rethink of
how security safeguards information in
the digital world – making it invisible to
the prying criminal eye but accessible to
the trusted few who rely on accessing it.
SDP is the answer. u
