Vidder Inc.: Pioneering Precision Access for a Secure Extended Enterprise

Cloud technology, outsourcing, supply chains, collaboration and mobility provide compelling economics and enhanced agility for today’s enterprise. Having the ability to connect anywhere to anyone online—global external partners, outsourced service pro-viders, overseas subject-matter experts, and critical apps in the cloud—gives the enterprise tremendous competitive ad-vantage. But, the resulting “access by anyone anywhere” requirement across the Extended Enterprise puts the security of their business-critical operations at enormous risk. Just look at the recent epic breaches in any industry.

Control access across the Extended Enterprise—precisely
To ensure security, Vidder pioneered a ground breaking solution that gives enterprise IT complete control of connectivity throughout their Extended Enterprise. This solution is based on a new security model called Software Defined Perimeter (SDP). “Vidder offers a seamless solution that is capable of masking servers from hackers and protecting them from vulnerability,” said Mark Hoover, Vidder’s CEO. “Featuring a uniquely transparent multifactor authentication (tMFA) capability, Vidder’s SDP-based process stops credential theft attacks by allowing only trusted members visibility and connectivity to authorized systems eliminating any chance of the attackers’ penetration.” SDP creates a precise, dynamic connection between users to servers. Such a connection is built based on the pre-evaluation of the trust of the user, device, software, location, and other factors. The connection is also closely monitored for legitimate utilization of systems. Leveraging SDP’s precise, dynamic connection through mutual authentication, Vidder’s software- only solution is developed for multiple purposes, including: secure extended ecosystems, secure cloud migration, and secure dynamic workgroups.
