ENTERPRISE SECURITY BLUEPRINT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ES
A Control Layer
that analyzes different sources of threat information and
generates protections and policies to be executed by the Enforcement Layer.
A Management Layer
that orchestrates the infrastructure and brings the
highest degree of agility to the entire architecture.
By combining the high-performance Enforcement Layer with the fast-evolving and dynamic software-
based Control Layer, the SDP architecture not only provides operational resilience, but also delivers
proactive incident prevention for the continually changing threat landscape.
Designed to be forward-looking, the SDP architecture supports traditional network security and access
control policy requirements, as well as the threat prevention needed by modern enterprises that embrace
new technologies such as mobile computing and Software-defined Networks (SDN).
