All Perimeter 81 services are included in a single platform, with a tiered pricing structure.
These include:
Perimeter 81 offers a SASE solution which is designed to protect all areas of a client’s network, supporting on-premise and remote users by securing branch offices, data centres and cloud resources in one solution. Clients are able to implement a least-privileged strategy with strictly enforced access control. Using this, clients can control how users interact with business resources, such as application access, user and group identity and sensitive data.
Perimeter 81’s SASE solution is capable of integrating with local and cloud resources, and can be deployed as either hardware or software, offering the capability to integrate with third-party solutions to create improved visibility across the network. The Perimeter 81 SASE solution includes the following features:
• Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA): Provides centralized network management of all hardware and software infrastructure. The Perimeter 81 ZTNA offering features: DNS filtering, automatic Wi-Fi security, Unified platform for managing cloud resources, unlimited bandwidth and data availability, multiple global private and public VPN gateways, 24/7 customer support, monitoring and logging utilities as well as auditing and reporting capabilities. The Perimeter 81 ZTNA solution enables multi-tenant cloud, 2FA and single sign-on clients in a unified network platform supported by zero trust access when used in conjunction with SASE. This provides a simplified enterprise network topology that provisions security on all devices, allowing for safe, low latency remote access. The solution is supported by cloud agnostic integrations and content filtering such as IP whitelisting and precise user segmentation secured with IPsec tunneling for total endpoint encryption.
Perimeter 81’s ZTNA solution offers least-privilege access policies, rapid onboarding, identity based access control as well as 2FA and SSO integrations. This ensures the security of all devices and endpoints across the network, including encryption for teleworkers.
Perimeter 81 does not currently support a CASB solution as part of its SASE solution, however a new CASB solution is in progress to allow customers to extend security policies to the architecture of cloud service providers.
Perimeter 81 have recently introduced a SWG solution. The offering allows admins to create Web Filter Rules, which continue to operate even whilst the user is not connected to the network for constant protection. The rules can be set per department - as an example, the marketing department may require access to social media, where others do not. However, some instances require Bypass Rules, which protect employees when they access sensitive information, such as financial or healthcare - Perimeter 81 SWG Bypass Rules does not allow employee information to be tracked in these instances.
Monitoring and Tracking tracks all attempted access to prohibited or cautioned sites which allows companies to take action following suspicious activity.
Perimeter 81 offers a FWaaS solution that helps to ensure the security of data flows. Integrations with cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure and Salesforce ensure that this solution offers protection in any environment, including hybrid cloud. The FWaaS solution is cloud native to ensure scalability and smoothness of cloud provider integrations. Layer 3 and 4 restrictions and access can be segmented based on group or user identity as well as by IP address, port or protocol. Granular network policies can be applied at each layer allowing IT administrators to create traffic filtering rules based on subgroups such as: applications, addresses, locations, users and groups. The FWaaS solution provides visibility into corporate network traffic and management across the environment. The solution supports remote workers by providing low latency access to the corporate network via global private gateways when deployed to the network edge. The Perimeter 81 FWaaS solution offers TLS encryption, visibility into clients and endpoints, application and OS level security as well as management of access and identity to ensure regulatory compliance and network security.
Perimeter 81 integrates with major cloud vendors such as Azure, AWS and Google Cloud, leveraging their Zero Trust framework for policy enforcement based on user permissions across the whole environment. The Perimeter 81 Knowledge Base also offers technical documentation with step-by-step instructions to help clients integrate with cloud service providers.
Remote users are supported by Perimeter 81’s Remote Access VPNs. This allows teleworkers to encrypt their data and traffic flows at any time, from anywhere, securing corporate networks and mobile devices against malicious attacks. The Perimeter 81 Cloud-based VPN alternative offers a variety of VPN protocols including OpenVPN, IPSec and WireGuard as well as the ability to deploy global gateways to reduce latency for remote workers.
The solution allows clients to manage network, policies, device posture checks and users from a single platform. The Perimeter 81 solution is also capable of integrating with other security and network environments for granular insights including detection, activity logs, auditing and monitoring. The Remote Access VPN supports integration with SASE (see, Perimeter 81 SASE), cloud providers, Zero Trust Access and leverages Perimeter 81’s Global IP Backbone.
