Hoop on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Overview

Hoop is a layer 7 access gateway that sits between your people and your infrastructure. Instead of handing out standing credentials to databases, servers and internal tools, users connect through hoop, which enforces access at the wire protocol level, records every session, and can route sensitive actions through review and approval. It brokers access to PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server and MongoDB databases, SSH and RDP servers, Kubernetes and internal web apps, so a single audited entry point replaces scattered direct connections. Every command and query is captured to an immutable session log for audit and incident review, optional reviewers can approve or reject risky operations before they run, and data masking can redact sensitive fields in flight.

Administrators register connections and enroll lightweight agents that reach the resources being protected, then define who can access what. It suits platform, security and data teams who need to give engineers and analysts safe, time bound access to production systems, satisfy audit and compliance requirements with a full record of who did what, and remove long lived database and SSH credentials from laptops.

Common uses

• Broker and record privileged access to databases, servers and Kubernetes
• Remove standing credentials with time bound, audited access to production
• Satisfy audit and compliance with a full session log and optional approvals
