The era of cloud and mobility has created a software-defined world, changing the way we work and transforming the Internet into the new corporate network. With applications moving to the cloud for better scalability and accessibility for users, many enterprises still rely on existing network-centric technologies from when users worked in the office and remote users connected via VPN.
ESG believes that the challenge of using legacy methods will serve as a catalyst for a new user and application-centric approach to secure internal applications called the software-defined perimeter (SDP). Many enterprises will begin using SDP to deliver a more seamless user experience.
