Hoop

Hoop also can help with privileged access by offering a secure and efficient way to reach remote systems and databases. It's designed to speed up engineering velocity by automating access management, cutting down on friction and improving security.

Hoop includes tools to try to ensure access is properly managed. The AI Data Masking feature can spot sensitive data and obfuscate it in real-time to ensure compliance and privacy. The Just-in-time Access tool lets people request access to specific databases, and they can Slack a co-worker for approval. That approval process is automated so people aren't stuck waiting. Session Recording logs all activity in a session so you can figure out what happened after a problem and for auditing.

Other features include:

• Access Control: Grant or revoke access to databases and applications.
• Slack Integration: Use Slack for approval and collaboration.
• Runbooks: Create templates that can be run against connections sourced from a Git server.
• Webhooks: Get notifications of user activity so you can write your own analytics and dashboards.
• Threat Identification: Search session contents with a powerful query syntax.

Hoop comes in two pricing tiers:

• Free: Includes session recording, access control, Slack integration and AI data masking for up to 500 users.
• Enterprise: Adds unlimited users, support for integrations like Jira and priority support.

Hoop is geared for software engineering teams that want to improve productivity and speed up development without sacrificing security. It's good for teams that need secure, efficient and compliant access management.
