Identity-centric

Designed around user and device identity, not the IP address. SDP builds a multi-dimensional profile of a user or device and authorizes users before granting access.

Zero trust model

Enforces the “zero trust model” by applying the principle of least privilege to the network. It completely reduces the attack surface.

Built like cloud, for cloud

Built for the cloud, and like the cloud. Engineered to operate natively in cloud networks, it’s completely distributed and as scalable as the internet itself.
