What is a Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP)?
Software-Defined Perimeter is designed to provide the perimeter security architecture required for zero-trust applications and workload-centric network connectivity to medium and large businesses. SDP’s virtual border surrounding the network layer not only reduces the attack surface but also eliminates vendor pandemonium by enabling installation on any host without network reconfiguration or appliance lock-in.

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.”
