Overview

Appgate SDP (Software‑Defined Perimeter) is a cloud‑native, universal Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) platform that enforces contextual, policy‑driven connectivity. It operates by creating dynamic, encrypted micro‑perimeters—each user‑to‑resource session is isolated. This ensures only explicitly authorized users and devices can see or access applications, no matter if they reside on‑premises, in hybrid cloud environments, or at the network edge. Designed for scalability, visibility, compliance, and seamless multi‑cloud deployment, Appgate SDP simplifies network complexity while bolstering security and operational efficiency.

Features and Capabilities

• Universal ZTNA & Direct‑Routed Architecture: Enables secure, direct connections across on‑prem, cloud, and legacy systems.
• Contextual Access Control: User entitlements dynamically adapt based on identity, device posture, session context, and system tags.
• Dynamic Micro‑Firewalls: Each session deploys an isolated, encrypted micro‑firewall securing only the permitted resource.
• IoT & Legacy Device Integration: Connector components enable secure onboarding and management of non‑standard devices.
• Clientless Web Access: Browser‑based access provides equivalent security to full‑client without requiring installer deployments.
• Comprehensive Auditing & Compliance: Includes a customizable LogForwarder for robust logging and compliance reporting.
• Cloud‑Native, API‑Enabled Deployment: Fully deployable across multi‑cloud environments with unified API integration.
• High Availability & Resilience: Features secure failover routing to maintain connectivity during network or endpoint disruptions.
• AI‑Driven Risk Engine: Recent version (6.3) incorporates AI‑based risk evaluation to enhance security posture and decision‑making.
