What’s the difference between software Defined Perimeter and Zero Trust?
The software-defined perimeter is an approach to protect internal resources from external connectivity where the protection controls are programmable through a central policy engine or software-based management framework. For example, how you control the entire perimeter access through a single policy based central engine and that central management engine takes care of deploying different configurations to different control sets that protect the entire perimeter. Typical solutions that are required to protect the perimeter are firewalls, intrusion prevention, web inspect, advanced threat protection, DDOS protection, DLP, VPN / Encryption and many more depending on what is available for access from the outside world. While “Zero Trust” is the framework basis which controls are designed and managed for the entire IT infrastructure which includes your network , datacenter , application, data, people, system and devices. In this framework the principle is to not TRUST anyone and verify th...
