Vidder

Vidder is a cybersecurity company that provides software-defined perimeter and Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA) technology for securing access to enterprise applications and services.

• Software-defined perimeter access control for enterprise and cloud applications (network security)
• ZTNA enforcement based on device, user, and context (zero-trust security)
• Granular segmentation of application access without exposing underlying networks (microsegmentation)
• Integration with existing identity and access management and security infrastructure (identity and access management)
• Remote and third-party access control to internal resources without traditional Virtual Private Network (VPN) exposure (secure remote access)

More About Vidder

Vidder focuses on network security and access control for enterprises that need to protect internal and cloud-hosted applications from unauthorized or lateral movement access. Its software-defined perimeter and ZTNA capabilities are designed for organizations that operate hybrid environments, including on-premises (on-prem) data centers, private clouds, and public cloud platforms. The technology is used to manage access for employees, contractors, and third parties to business applications without broadly exposing internal networks.

The company’s approach aligns with zero-trust security principles, where access is granted based on verified identity, device posture, and contextual policies rather than implicit trust from network location. Vidder’s platform typically sits in front of applications and services, brokering connections only after policy checks. This enables enterprises to restrict visibility of internal IP ranges and services, reducing the attack surface available to external or compromised actors.

Vidder’s offerings operate within architectures that commonly integrate with identity and access management (IAM) systems, directories, and multi-factor authentication tools. The platform uses standard networking and security protocols to authenticate and authorize connections before establishing a secure application session. By decoupling access policy from underlying network topology, enterprises can segment user access at the application level, instead of relying only on VLANs, subnets, or traditional firewall rules.

Compared with traditional VPNs and network-centric remote access tools, Vidder’s ZTNA and software-defined perimeter model focuses on connecting users to specific applications instead of placing them on the broader network. This application-centric model supports scenarios where organizations want to grant limited, time-bound, or role-based access to particular services, including for partners or temporary users, while limiting lateral movement potential.

For directory and marketplace categorization, Vidder fits into network security, ZTNA, software-defined perimeter, secure remote access, and application access control. Enterprises typically evaluate it alongside other ZTNA and remote access platforms as part of broader zero-trust, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), and cloud security strategies, where the objective is to manage access to internal and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications through centralized, policy-driven control.
