Benefits at a Glance: SDP vs VPN

Get familiar with the advantages of using an SDP solution versus a traditional VPN.

Software-Defined Perimeter

Secure global access
Network micro-segmentation
Secured and encrypted
Policies based on users, roles
Seamless auditing and reporting
Rejects account hijacking
Reduced costs
Not just encryption, 2FA, SSO etc.

SDP Replaces VPN: More Than Just Encryption

Organizations with cloud resources and remote workers also have networks that can’t be defended with encryption alone. SDP offers visibility where access occurs, and adds complementary security tools and access management to address modern network needs.

Customized Access

Solve network access control issues with one centralized, integrated solution that automates access rules based on IdP.

Instant Networking

Quickly spin up private servers and secure local gateways around the globe, for low-latency connections and edge networking.

Superior Privacy

Set up VPN tunnels for full data encryption between employee devices and the network, and enforce the use of 2FA, SSO, and more.

Perimeter 81 SDP: More Agile Cloud Security

Unlike traditional VPN solutions, SDP allows security professionals to create and automate custom access profiles by user and role, limiting the attack surface.

With a Traditional VPN

Low visibility across a mix of local and cloud resources, unlimited network access offered to credentialed users, hardware and expensive maintenance required.

With Perimeter 81’s SDP

Integrate across local and cloud, build custom access profiles for users based on role, device, and more, and deploy security to the edge inside a single panel in the cloud.

Use Cases for a Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP)

Thorough Compliance

Get a record of all data activity, in motion and at rest to ensure compliance. Log and audit traffic in any time frame, and report at the instance level with a centralized management console.

Network Segmentation

Give users least privilege access, so you can limit permissions to individual network resources by sensitivity, role, location, device – reducing the attack surface significantly.

Activity Intelligence

Top of the line monitoring includes detailed audits and reporting on data or any activity in your network. Perimeter 81 reduces alert fatigue by providing complete visibility into the network.

Easy Cloud Migration

Set up and deploy security to local and cloud resources within as little as 15 minutes, with no hardware involved. This cuts costs while maintaining the highest standard of corporate security.

Better Encryption

Perimeter 81 encrypts all data travelling in the network with AES 256-bit bank-level encryption. For additional security, we also implement Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) and offer new protocols like WireGuard.

Remote Access

Whether it’s BYOD devices, remote workers, or traveling employees, Perimeter 81 allows limitless remote connections to your network with granular user access controls, protecting your most sensitive resources.
