Recent security breaches in major infrastructures such as government agencies, educational institutions, and healthcare underscore the importance of robust secure measures and access control, utilizing Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) with Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) technology. These protocols prevent unauthorized access and protect sensitive data, fortifying defenses against cyber threats across industries.
