Vidder PrecisionAccess stops cyberattacks by “shrinking” the perimeter, creating a new layer of defense around individual applications. The trust-before-connect architecture keeps everyone outside the new perimeter, hiding application servers from all users and devices. Only trust-verified users are allowed connectivity at the application-level. The result is a significantly reduced attack surface. Combining that with transparent multi-factor authentication executed for every user and every connection, PrecisionAccess defeats credential theft, server exploitation, man-in-the-middle, DOS, and lateral movement attacks. Offered as-a-Service, PrecisionAccess delivers OpEx and CapEx savings; and accelerates agility associated with cloud, BYOD and collaboration, while reducing risk for traditional IT. In 2015, Gartner named Vidder a Cool Vendor in Cloud Security Services. The company–s headquarters are in Campbell, Calif. For more information, visit .
