Hopr Connect is a cloud-native cybersecurity solution developed by Hopr Corporation that implements an Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD) strategy to protect workloads, APIs, and data in transit across cloud environments. It provides secure, high-trust connections between workloads across different environments, organizations, and ecosystems. Hopr Connect uses Workload Security Proxies (WoSPs) as sidecars to verify workload identity trust and establish encrypted communication channels. The solution implements a decentralized workload identity system, where workload identity trust is verified at each connection. It utilizes Codes Hidden In Plain Sight (CHIPS™) technology to generate identical secrets at endpoints and employs Synchronous Ephemeral Encryption (SEE™) protocol for comprehensive end-to-end encrypted channels without key exchange. Hopr Connect supports high-frequency rotation of workload identities and ephemeral keys, creating an automated moving target defense. It provides Zero Trust and quantum-proof capabilities, enabling on-demand, verified-trust communication between containerized workloads.
