Research Insight

Secure remote access (SRA) requirements accelerated in 2025 as organizations pushed for stronger control over remote users, vendors, and hybrid infrastructure. At the same time, threat data continued to show heavy abuse of exposed remote access pathways and weak authentication controls.

In under six months, Hyperport delivered 21 platform enhancements to strengthen access control, increase visibility, and automate response workflows across IT, OT, and hybrid environments.

Rapid iteration extends access control architecture

Hyperport's recent release cycle focused on closing persistent SRA gaps through features that improve isolation, reduce exposure, and support high-friction operating environments.

  • Isolated Web Browser: Runs sessions inside Hyperport infrastructure, reducing endpoint and browser-side exposure.
  • Hyper-SSH: Supports native SSH workflows with HTTPS transport, recording, and just-in-time key handling.
  • Policy-Based Access Control: Adds device trust, location, time, and MFA context to role-based access decisions.

Public OT threat reporting in 2024-2025 continued to show high rates of malware intrusion and sustained increases in attacks targeting operational systems.

Additional SRA innovation

  • Resource tags for faster organization and policy application.
  • Bidirectional file sync with SMB, SFTP, AWS S3, and Azure Blob workflows.
  • Session watermarking to deter unauthorized distribution of sensitive views.
  • System-wide client certificates for mTLS and trusted device validation.
  • Geographic dashboards for real-time monitoring of global access activity.
  • Wizard-based onboarding for rapid app configuration and rollout.
  • Comprehensive keystroke logging for regulated evidence requirements.

Threat readiness improves with automated response

Hyperport integrates detection and response directly into secure access workflows:

  • Enhanced security monitoring: Detects suspicious patterns such as repeated failed logins, reconnaissance activity, and lateral movement indicators.
  • Network traffic intelligence: Captures protocol metadata and connection context for investigation and compliance review.
  • Automated notifications: Routes severity-based alerts to reduce noise and improve analyst response speed.
  • Forensic evidence preservation: Exports recordings and artifacts to SMB, SFTP, S3, or Azure targets.

Independent research continues to show that automated detection and response models can materially reduce incident response time in critical infrastructure contexts.

Centralized analytics supports investigation

Hyperport provides a shared workspace for investigation and response:

  • HyperView Analytics: Aggregates session activity, access logs, and file movements for cross-signal analysis.
  • Historical user analysis: Surfaces long-term behavior trends, anomalies, and policy violations for audit and risk teams.
  • Advanced role management: Applies scoped permissions for operators, auditors, and admins, including SAML-driven provisioning.
  • Integrated credential security: Reduces sprawl with secrets management and hardware-backed vault controls.
  • Just-in-time access requests: Automates temporary permission workflows aligned to least-privilege policy.

Continuous innovation reduces SRA complexity

Hyperport consolidates traditionally fragmented capabilities such as ZTNA, PAM, and SRA into a platform that can evolve without forcing a disruptive replatforming effort.

Support for on-premises, cloud, hybrid, and air-gapped deployment models enables secure access modernization without forcing architecture changes in critical infrastructure environments.

Industry studies from IBM and Gartner continue to associate unified security platforms and vendor consolidation with faster detection, faster containment, and lower operational friction.

How Hyperport helps

Hyperport addresses the operational burden of managing point solutions for secure remote access, privileged access, and zero trust control in parallel.

  • Unified architecture: One platform for ZTNA, PAM, and SRA with aligned control enforcement.
  • Analytics-driven security: Visibility and reporting to support proactive detection and streamlined response.
  • Flexible deployment: On-premises, cloud, hybrid, and air-gapped support for diverse operating models.
  • Automated compliance: Built-in controls and evidence support for NERC-CIP, CMMC, FIPS 140-3, and ISA/IEC-62443 programs.

Teams can adopt new controls quickly while preserving operational continuity and long-term security maturity.
