Problem
Organizations face challenges in securely managing access to databases and servers, often relying on VPNs, shared credentials, and manual ticketing systems. These methods introduce security vulnerabilities, increase complexity, and create compliance issues due to incomplete audit trails and difficulties in enforcing access controls.
Solution
Hoop.dev provides an open-source access gateway that secures and simplifies infrastructure access without the need for VPNs or shared credentials. The solution uses outbound-only connections, eliminating inbound firewall rules and reducing the attack surface. It integrates with existing identity providers like Google, Okta, and JumpCloud for free SSO, and automates access controls by mapping identity provider groups to infrastructure profiles. Hoop.dev also provides a complete audit trail by recording every action in a standardized format, streamlining compliance with SOC2, GDPR, and other frameworks.
