The document discusses the rising cybersecurity challenges amidst increasing incidents and evolving attack strategies, emphasizing the inadequacy of existing solutions. It introduces the Blockchain Defined Perimeter (BDP) as a transformative approach that leverages blockchain technology for securing critical systems and enhancing cybersecurity measures. BDP offers benefits such as cryptographic security, immutable logging, and tailored access control, positioning itself as a modern solution to safeguard against sophisticated cyber threats.

2 Enterprises are feeling the heat as Cybersecurity incidents
continue to grow and existing solutions struggle to keep pace
64% more
incidents in 2015
than in 2014
Theft of ‘hard’ IP
increased 56% in
2015
Growing attacks on
core / critical
systems
Challenges are
getting bigger, bolder
and more complex
The dramatic increase in networked devices has further complicated the situation as we begin to understand the impact of IoT
The escalating impact and costs today are often measured in the millions

3 The growing ‘mobility’ of users and expanding enterprise
perimeter has resulted in greater exposure to attacks
Business drivers for an
extended enterprise
ecosystem
Growing mobile workforce
Ever expanding enterprise
perimeter
Increased sophistication &
reduced cost of cyber-
attacks
Despite spending billions of dollars on cybersecurity solutions, we continue to defend against tomorrows cyber attacks with
yesterday’s technology
While business drivers justify an extended enterprise ecosystem, the need to secure the
critical systems that support it has grown manifold

7 Experts across industry segments and analysts chime in
with their opinion on SDP and Blockchain technology
Gartner expects the global Software-Defined Perimeter adoption to grow significantly, starting 2017

The first generation of the digital revolution
brought us the Internet of information. The
second generation — powered by blockchain
technology — is bringing us the Internet of value:
a new platform to reshape the world of business
and transform the old order of human affairs for
the better
Don Tapscott.
‘Blockchain Revolution’
“Companies spend millions of dollars on
firewalls, encryption and secure access devices,
and it’s money wasted; none of these measures
address the weakest link in the security chain.”
Kevin Mitnick,
“The World’s Most Famous Hacker”
SDP security model has been shown to stop all
forms of network attacks including DDoS, Man-in-
the-Middle, Server Query (OWASP10) as well as
Advanced Persistent Threat (APT)
Cloud Security Alliance
DMZs and legacy VPNs were designed for the
networks of the 1990s and have become obsolete
because they lack the agility needed to protect
digital businesses. Look for products or services
that can expand identity from one to two factors
and then beyond with contextual and adaptive
access controls.
