Most organizations do a relatively good job of controlling user authorization within applications. However, these same organizations often grant far too much network access to users, which represents a significant vulnerability that adversaries have consistently exploited. There are several reasons for this, ranging from limitations in fundamental TCP/IP design principles, to shortcomings in traditional network security tools.
Join us for an engaging session where we explore the limitations of traditional security, and explain how a Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) model -- which verifies and secures all access to all resources, and strictly limits network access – can significantly improve enterprise security.
We’ll dive into the technical details of how the SDP specification works, showing how an implementation can deliver fine-grained network access control, in a way that’s tied to each user’s context, and is dynamically responsive to changes in Cloud or DevOps environments.
We’ll make this concrete with a customer case study, showing how one enterprise obtained technical, business, and compliance benefits from deploying a Software-Defined Perimeter solution. And we’ll wrap up with an eye toward the future, exploring current work on applying the Software-Defined Perimeter architecture into IaaS environments.
