Why each option
The two foundational tenets of establishing an SD-Perimeter are securing device access and securing network access.
Securing device access is a foundational SD-Perimeter tenet because the model requires verifying device identity and posture before granting any access, replacing implicit trust with explicit device-level authentication.
Securing app access is an outcome produced by SD-Perimeter enforcement but is not listed as one of the two primary tenets used to establish the perimeter itself.
Securing user-device trust is a principle within broader Zero Trust frameworks but is not one of the two specific tenets that define the SD-Perimeter model.
Securing endpoints is a concern handled by endpoint protection platforms and is not a defining tenet of the SD-Perimeter architecture specifically.
Securing network access is the other defining tenet, as the SD-Perimeter model enforces that network connectivity is restricted and granted only after identity and device verification, making the network invisible to unauthorized parties.
