Hoop.dev is a layer 7 gateway that sits between engineers, AI agents, service accounts, and your infrastructure. Every query and command passes through at the wire protocol level, where Hoop.dev masks sensitive data, blocks dangerous commands, routes risky operations for human approval, and records every session.

​
The Challenge of Infrastructure Access

Organizations face significant challenges when managing access to critical infrastructure:
  • Security risks from overly permissive access policies
  • Productivity bottlenecks from complex approval workflows
  • Compliance headaches due to inadequate audit trails
  • Visibility gaps in understanding what identities accessed what and when
  • Sensitive data exposure risks during access sessions
Hoop.dev addresses these challenges by providing a secure gateway that sits between your users and your infrastructure, delivering zero-config security features that protect your resources while streamlining access for developers.

​
Our Solutions

Hoop.dev enforces controls inline at the wire protocol for engineers, AI agents, and service accounts.

Live Data Masking

Zero-config DLP policies that automatically mask sensitive data in real-time at the protocol layer. Protect PII, credentials, and other sensitive information without requiring complex rule setup.
Learn more

Access Requests

Enable time-based access sessions or command-level approvals. Users request access while approvers guarantee security without sacrificing productivity.
Learn more

Access Control

Define granular access policies determining which users or groups can access specific connections. Integrate with your existing identity provider to maintain consistent access governance.
Learn more

Guardrails

Intelligent protection layer that automatically enforces access policies and prevents risky operations in real-time. Keep your infrastructure secure with smart command filtering and context-aware access.
Learn more

Runbooks

Automate tasks with templated runbooks. Create, share, and execute procedures through a Git-based system, improving consistency and reducing errors.
Learn more

Secrets Management

Securely integrate with most popular secrets management tools. Dynamically expand environment variables without exposing sensitive credentials.
Learn more

AI Session Analyzer

AI-powered risk analysis that evaluates commands before execution and applies configured policies automatically. Detect and block risky or destructive operations in real time.
Learn more

MCP Server

Connect AI agents to Hoop.dev with the built-in Model Context Protocol server. Agents run queries and commands without ever handling credentials. Authorization, data masking, guardrails, and review gates apply to every action.

​
Common Use Cases

Agents reach production with inline controls that make access secure and auditable. Agents reach real data through the same gateway engineers use, with PII masked at the wire, destructive operations blocked, and every session recorded.
Provide secure, audited access to databases while masking sensitive data. Enable developers to run queries without direct access to production credentials.
Make PII, PHI, PCI, and credentials invisible in database responses, API payloads, and terminal output, so production access doesn’t expose sensitive data.
Meet regulatory requirements with comprehensive session recordings, access logs, and data protection features that document who accessed what and when.
