SDP – The Yellow Brick Road to Zero Trust

Today’s network security architectures, tools and platforms fall short of meeting the challenges presented by current security threats. Zero Trust is emerging as a popular anti-hack strategy and, as the concept implies, requires that users are not allowed any access to anything until they are authenticated. Attaching the moniker “Zero Trust” to solutions, while popular, misleads one into a false sense of security (no pun intended). In this webinar, you’ll learn how a Zero Trust implementation using SDP is applied to network connectivity, meaning it is agnostic of the underlying untrusted IP-based infrastructure, and hones in on securing connections. The webinar will delve into the steps to implement SDP and facilitate organizations to defend from new variations of old attack methods that are constantly surfacing in existing perimeter-centric networking and infrastructure models. Separating the control plane where trust is established, from the data plane where actual data is transferred. Hiding the infrastructure using a dynamic deny-all firewall - the point where all unauthorized packets are dropped for logging and analyzing traffic. Using single packet authorization to authenticate and authorize users and validate devices for access to protected services and least privilege is implicit.
