Discover and Prevent the Use of All Compromised API Keys in Real Time

Protecting APIs from unauthorized access is paramount for containerized workloads with sensitive data.
Hopr's solutions discover all stolen keys and prevent key misuse immediately when an untrusted workload attempts to use one.

Gartner's May 2024 Market Guide for API Protection reported that the average API breach resulted in at least 10 times more leaked data than the average security breach.

A study by Akamai revealed that a staggering 84% of security professionals had encountered at least one API security incident in 2024.

68% of enterprises experienced a business impact event and along with it increased costs related to an identity breach.

API Keys are valuable targets for threat actors

API Key Theft

Static API keys are easy for threat actors to locate and steal. Monitoring and detecting stolen keys is too slow and inaccurate.

Hopr's Solution

Hopr wraps the API keys used by trusted workloads in end-to-end encryption using its SEE™ protocol. When malicious workloads make API calls with stolen keys they fail decryption immediately on arrival and are dropped. The never reach the API endpoint.

Untrusted Third Parties

The security of API keys issued to third parties relies on the vigilance of the third party to secure them. Third parties determine how to secure their API keys. As API keys are passed between endpoints for authentication they are vulnerable to theft.

Hopr's Solution

Third parties receive API keys and Hopr's AMTD technology to ensure that the Third Party API calls to the API endpoint are trusted and distinguishable from malicious third party calls to an API endpoint

Static API Keys

API keys are static. If vaulted API keys are rotated, then another API key is needed to retrieve the freshly rotated key and a copy of it must be 'injected' into the application endpoints. Keys are passed between endpoints exposing them to theft. Authentication cannot prevent the use of a stolen API key.

Hopr's Solution

Equip trusted third parties to wrap their API keys in Synchronous Ephemeral Encryption (SEE™) when making an API call. API keys arriving from untrusted third parties are immediately detected when they fail decryption and the connection is rejected

Why most API security solutions don't protect APIs

Most API security tools are too slow to be effective and can be easily bypassed by threats. They also can react to false positives and block legitimate API calls. Read our White Paper to learn about our novel and effective solution for API Threat Protection.

Valuable Benefits

Lower cyber risk
Compromised API keys used by malicious workloads are automatically discovered and rejected to prevent data loss.
True Zero Trust
Identity trust verification is performed each time workloads begin an API transaction.
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

Immediate discovery of a stolen API key and blocking prevents data loss.
Existing API security tools are slow to discover stolen keys and detection is inaccurate.
All stolen API keys are discovered on a threat's first attempt to use them.
Conventional API security tools cannot discover all stolen keys and many produce false positives.
Both endpoints in an API transaction and the data in transit between them are protected.
Conventional API security tools do not protect both endpoints and cannot assure that data is confidential and tamper-proof everywhere.
