Understanding Software Defined Perimeter

Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) is a security framework that dynamically creates a secure, encrypted connection between a user and the resources they are trying to access. It limits network visibility and access, effectively cloaking the infrastructure from unauthorized users. SDP uses a "zero trust" approach, where users are authenticated and authorized before being granted access to specific applications or services, regardless of their location. This approach increases security by reducing the attack surface and mitigating the risks associated with traditional network perimeter security.
