Disadvantages of SDP
- Despite compatibility for a wide range of current devices, connecting outdated routers or vendor-specific devices to SDP software may be difficult.
- An SDP obfuscates business resources and inhibits wide network access. Hackers find it difficult to attack something they don’t understand.
- Controllers play a critical function in an SDP design because they connect devices to protected resources. It’s difficult to connect to resources if controllers aren’t available.
- SDPs are not the same as typical network security measures. Because you’ll need to modify all devices and apps, implementing an SDP solution might create network and infrastructure interruptions in large companies.
Software-Defined Perimeter(SDP)
Software-defined Perimeter (SDP) is a network infrastructure that protects cloud-based and on-premise data centers using remote capabilities. The purpose of an SDP strategy is to employ software rather than hardware as the foundation for the network perimeter. The SDP was created by the Cloud Security Alliance in 2013 as a solution for secure networks that minimized the danger of data breaches.
Secure access to network-based services, applications, and systems in public and private clouds, as well as on-premises, is provided by SDP as it cloaks systems within the perimeter so others can’t see them, the SDP technique is frequently referred to as creating a “black cloud.”
