Chances are this is a company and product you have never heard of. It isn't a large company, but it is a growing and apparently going company. In fact, Business Wire, a Berkshire Hathaway Company, named it as a leader in Zero Trust Network Access and SASE for 2021 just a year ago.
So, Perimeter 81 may well be revolutionizing the way businesses consume network security. The company, which offers cloud-based advanced network security, boasts multiple cybersecurity tools to simplify managing and securing your network, including multi-factor authentication, firewall-as-a-service, single sign-on, and much more.
Perimeter 81 lets you integrate local and cloud resources, protect user traffic and endpoints, and create custom scalable network access policies from a single platform. Its goal is to transform traditional network security technology with its single unified Zero Trust Network as a Service.
Its SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) is a blueprint for better business security. It involves a combination of software-defined edge networking, user-focused authentication and access control, and seamless integration across the cloud.

With SASE, you will enforce access via identities, not passwords. And SASE enables businesses to implement different key cloud capabilities providing agile, holistic, adaptive, self-updating security postures, no matter where they are located.
In addition, it provides a single network for the entire organization’s resources, and ensures complete networking and security globally and on the go.
Perimeter 81’s Zero Trust Network Access employs identify-based access rules, 2FA, traffic encryption, monitoring, and more to privatize traffic across all network layers and reduce your cyber attack surface. While VPNs may provide adequate security for on-premises resources, only Zero-trust solutions offer the user-based access rules required for proper cloud security.

And while legacy firewalls can protect a company’s internal perimeter, they cannot ensure safety across hybrid clouds. The Perimeter 81 Firewall-as-a-Service ensures that only authorized users can connect to all of your resources.
It manages traffic between every network resource, user, and environment providing granular rules for how and when traffic moves to ensure your entire network.
