## Overview
Perimeter 81 is a cloud-delivered Zero Trust Network Access and network security service, acquired by Check Point in 2023 and now central to Check Point's Harmony SASE offering. It targets easy, fast deployment of secure remote access.

## What it is good at
Perimeter 81 made ZTNA approachable for smaller organizations: quick setup, identity-based access to applications and networks, and integrated network security from the cloud. Under Check Point it gains a larger security portfolio and threat prevention behind it.

## Where it falls short
It is transitioning into the Check Point Harmony brand, so roadmap and positioning are evolving, and deep on-premises control is limited by the SaaS model.

## Pricing
Transparent tiered subscription pricing.

## Best for, and who should look elsewhere
Choose it for easy, cloud-delivered ZTNA, especially with Check Point. Look elsewhere for a fully independent product or on-premises control.

## Bottom line
Approachable, cloud-native ZTNA now inside Check Point's SASE portfolio, strong for SMB and mid-market.
