Beyond the Locked Front Door - ZTNA

Industry data shows that the vast majority of breaches occur on "trusted" and "allowed" connections. Is your ZTNA solution just a locked front door, leaving all the internal doors wide open for attackers to roam freely? The "allow and ignore" model of ZTNA 1.0 is a recipe for disaster. It's time to move beyond session-based trust. Learn about "Zero Trust by the Transaction"—a new paradigm that continuously verifies trust for every single API call and workload interaction, stopping lateral movement and insider threats cold.

Runtime Microsharding Shrinks the Enterprise Attack Surface

Enterprises a challenged to defend their ever-growing attack surface. Complexity, Zero Days, and static network configurations make a target rich environment for increasingly sophisticated threats. Conventional defenses seem to have reached a ceiling of effectiveness. But a new Cloud Native AMTD is an active cyber defense that microshards the attack surface in to many small pieces and animates them so that attackers are confused in targeting application workloads.

Proxies in the Cloud: Managing Traffic and Securing A Digital World

Proxies are common software designs that are widely used to abstract repetitive code and simplify a software architecture or code development. While they come in different types and are used for different purposes, the use of proxies for communications management is common, but many people may not know that security functions can also be proxied. In this article, I explain a novel and powerful new proxy – a Workload Security Proxy – that decentralizes access credential management to dramatically improve security and shrink the attack surface of digital enterprises.

AMTD and Zero Trust in a Single Solution: The WoSP

Enterprise CISOs are challenged to find cost savings without compromising security. As cyber threat sophistication increases and overcomes conventional defenses, Zero Trust becomes an important cosideration for security architectures and compliance. A new option has arrived that combines AMTD with Zero Trust principles to deliver stronger security and cost savings for CISOs.

A Short History of Moving Target Defense

Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD) is emerging in the cybersecurity market as a new form of moving target defense (MTD). Not many people know that MTD is not new. It has been used effectively in communications security and information security for over 50 years before it appeared as a cybersecurity strategy. Today’s AMTD is a generational improvement over MTD, even the MTD from just a few years ago. The latest forms of AMTD are built for the cloud and are far more sophisticated than their predecessors. One new form even combines AMTD with Zero Trust to produce a strategic combination that amplifies the cybersecurity benefits at a relatively low cost.

Hopr.co delivers Zero Trust, cloud-native, multi-cloud infrastructure purpose-built to protect high-value applications, APIs, and data across clusters, clouds, and organizations.

Hopr's Cloud Native Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD) frequently hops workload access credentials and produces Runtime Microsharding™, a novel technique that shrinks and animates the attack surface—breaking it into very small, short-lived pieces (microshards)—that disrupt threat reconnaissance, block lateral movement, and render credential theft ineffective.

Hopr’s Workload Security Proxy (WoSP)—a lightweight, drop-in proxy—enforces Zero Trust at every transaction, and rejects all untrusted attempts to access a trusted workload.
