SDP: The Most Advanced Zero Trust Architecture

Release Date: 05/27/2020

Working Group: Zero Trust

Today’s “Zero Trust” implementations are like putting up a wall with multiple doors and allowing people to come and pick a lock on the door. We are then just relying on the locks. It is much better to put up a fence around and authenticate people before they get to the doors. One does want to see who is knocking, but one doesn’t want the threat to do bad things - like pick the locks. Authentication BEFORE access is the essence of real ”Zero Trust.” This presentation aims to show how Software Defined Perimeter is the optimal architecture for “Zero Trust”.
