Ditch the Control Plane. Keep the Security.

Overcome the "Complexity Tax" that comes with traditional East-West Authorization and Access Control solutions
Hopr WoSP delivers powerful workload authorization and and access control without the "Complexity Tax" of traditional service meshes. Get all the benefits of a sidecar, but with none of the centralized, complex overhead of Istio or Consul.

A CNCF survey confirms that 41% of teams cite "architectural complexity" and 47% cite a "shortage of expertise" as top blockers for adopting a service mesh.

‍

Technical studies show traditional sidecars can add up to 163% more CPU usage and up to 269% higher request latency—a direct tax on your budget and performance

‍

In complex systems, change is risk. Nearly 79% of production incidents are caused by recent system changes (like a control plane update), making brittle, centralized systems a primary source of downtime.

The "Complexity Tax" You Pay Every Day

Central Control Planes Increase East-West Complexity

Managing E-W authorization and trust with central services comes with a crushing operational burden: managing a massive, distributed control plane. It's "YAML hell" for policies, a steep learning curve for your team, and a nightmare to debug.

Hopr's Solution

The Hopr WoSP is a smarter sidecar. It replaces the "dumb sidecar + complex brain" model with a single, autonomous, security proxy that has its identity and authorizations fused inside.

Central Control Planes Increase Costs

Traditional E-W solutions come with massive infrastructure sprawl. There's a central control plane, a separate CA, and thousands of sidecars all add significant CPU, memory, and networking overhead that drives up your cloud bill.

Hopr's Solution

Hopr eliminates the "Complexity Tax" and frees your best engineers from managing a brittle control plane and lets them build value instead. The total ownership costs are reduced, and the lightweight WoSP's autonomous design uses a fraction of the CPU and memory of a traditional mesh solutions.

Central Control Planes Are Brittle and a Single Point of Failure

Traditional E-W solutions are single points of failure. If your control plane is misconfigured or down, it can take your entire data plane with it. It's a single, high-stakes point of failure.

Hopr's Solution

Hopr WoSPs operate autonomously with decentralized control and are resilient to losses. An observability plane provides oversight to increase resilience.

Valuable Benefits

Lower cyber risk
Unlike traditional networking proxies, the WoSP performs decentralized credential management and access control to assure Zero Trust.
True Zero Trust
Workload identity trust is verified frequently at every transaction and workloads can be microsegmented to prevent lateral movement at the application layer.
Fast time-to-value
Onboarding of an average-skilled DevOps for easy configuration and deployment of Hopr solutions can be achieved in just a few days.
Lower costs
Usage-based pricing, lower architectural overhead, and the elimination of multiple centralized cloud services reduces costs.
Simple deployment
Configuration of a DevOps YAML file in automated CD production is all that is needed.
No code changes
Modification of existing services, application, and API endpoint code is not needed.

Compelling Advantages

Hopr eliminates the central control plane and complexity tax.
Traditional E-W solutions are burdened by highly complex control planes.
Hopr WoSPs are multi-functional sidecars, lightweight, and low cost.
Traditional E-W solutions increase cloud costs due to their reliance on multiple cloud services.
Hopr WoSPs are fast and easy to configure and deploy, freeing up Dev and DevOp time.
Traditional E-W solutions burden Dev and DevOps with trial and error implementations and brittle configurations.

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.
