The Cloud Native
Automated Moving-Target Defense

By 2025, the worldwide cost of cyber crime  is estimated to exceed $10 trillion annually.

92% of API attacks reported were against public-facing API endpoints.

84% of API attacks against financial/insurance APIs were authenticated, but were actually threat actors.

The API data breach rate in 2023 is on pace to exceed more than one billion data records.

61% of IT professionals say that the theft or misuse of machine identities is a serious concern.

By 2026, more than 90% of enterprises will operate in multiple clouds, and face increased complexity.

How to solve significant workload, API, and data protection challenges

Trust of workload identities

  • By 2026, it’s estimated that new  devices  will connect to the Internet at a rate of 5,000 per minute!
  • Workload identity trust is constrained by many different identity domains.
  • Centralized identity services within identity domains complicates interoperability and security.
  • Automated certs are issued to workload without vetting for trust.
  • With today's 'certs', the chain of trust ends at the Cert Authority.

Hopr's solution:

Decentralized machine identities that reside with and are managed by endpoints. Identity is verified each time workloads connect, building a chain-of-trust in the workload itself.

Vulnerable transport security 

  • Legacy transport protocols are not supported everywhere in the cloud.
  • Encryption gaps expose data to loss or tampering
  • Session key is vulnerable to intercept.

Hopr's solution:

On-demand, comprehensive, end-to-end encrypted connections (without a key exchange)  ensure the  confidentiality and integrity of data in transit everywhere between endpoints.

Learn How It Works

Access control at endpoints

  • Threat actors have proven abilities to bypass perimeter security controls.
  • They can identify critical endpoints, avoid detection, and launch attacks.
  • Annual losses from unauthorized access amount to billions of dollars.

Hopr's solution:

Our patented CHIPS™ technology enables rotation of  credentials at a high frequency to create a moving target defense that prevents threat actors from gaining the information they need for an attack.

Theft of static credentials

  • Endpoint access credentials are static and seldom change.
  • Credential theft is an attractive and preferred attack method.
  • It’s estimated that >75% of API attacks occur on authenticated APIs.
  • Threat detection and response is slow and plagued by false positives.

Hopr's solution:

Real-time high-frequency rotation of endpoint identity and secret credentials prevents many methods of endpoint attack.

Experts Agree on the Value of a Moving Target Defense

“I am a big fan of this defensive strategy.
Adversaries spend 90% of their time in attack planning, this prevents them from launching an attack.”
