Software-Defined Perimeter
The Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) Working Group is no longer active. The SDP Working Group has been folded into the Zero Trust Working Group. The security industry has embraced the architectural goals and objectives of SDP while also expanding and elaborating on the goals and principles of Zero Trust to expand beyond the scope of SDP. We invite you to join the Zero Trust Working Group.

Working Group Overview

This group works to validate and protect the devices and connections on a network. The topics of group discourse are benefits, architectural references, and implementation of a zero trust architecture. In particular, we will use the SDP protocol as a reference to obtain zero trust.

What do we discuss?

During our meetings, we typically discuss changes in the industry and collaborate on projects the group is currently working on. We welcome anyone who would like to join, even if you would like to just listen in on any calls.
