Layer7 Networks × HYPR

True passwordless authentication — eliminating the attack vector responsible for 80% of breaches.

About HYPR

HYPR is a passwordless authentication platform built on FIDO2 and WebAuthn standards. Unlike traditional MFA solutions that layer additional factors on top of passwords, HYPR eliminates the password entirely — replacing it with phishing-resistant, device-bound cryptographic authentication that cannot be intercepted, replayed, or socially engineered.

The HYPR platform supports desktop login (Windows, macOS), web application authentication, VPN access, and cloud service SSO — all without passwords. Authentication is performed using biometrics, security keys, or device-native authenticators, with the private key never leaving the user’s device. This architecture makes credential theft and phishing fundamentally impossible, not just harder.

HYPR serves enterprises across financial services, healthcare, and government where credential-based attacks represent the primary threat vector. Their platform integrates with existing identity providers (Azure AD, Okta, Ping) and deploys alongside current infrastructure without requiring a forklift replacement of existing IAM systems.

Why Layer7 Chose HYPR

Passwords are the single greatest vulnerability in enterprise security. Credential stuffing, phishing, brute force, password spraying, keylogging — the attack taxonomy is extensive because the target is so valuable. Every breach investigation Layer7 conducts traces back to compromised credentials at some point in the kill chain. HYPR eliminates this entire attack surface.

Layer7 selected HYPR because they implement true passwordless authentication — not “password-hidden” solutions that still store credentials server-side. HYPR’s FIDO2 architecture ensures that authentication secrets are asymmetric key pairs bound to hardware. There is no shared secret to steal, no password hash to crack, no OTP to intercept. The cryptographic guarantee is absolute.

For our clients facing sophisticated phishing campaigns and credential-based attacks, HYPR provides a permanent solution rather than an incremental improvement. The user experience is simultaneously more secure and more convenient — biometric authentication in under a second, with zero password fatigue or reset requests burdening helpdesks.

How Layer7 Delivers HYPR

• Passwordless Strategy Design: Layer7 assesses your current authentication landscape and designs a phased passwordless rollout plan — identifying high-risk populations, compatible applications, and migration dependencies.

• Platform Deployment: Full HYPR platform implementation including server infrastructure, identity provider integration (Azure AD, Okta, Ping Identity), and authenticator enrollment workflows.

• Desktop MFA Elimination: Deployment of HYPR for Windows and macOS login, replacing password-based desktop authentication with FIDO2 biometrics or security keys.

• Application Integration: Integration of HYPR with business-critical web applications, VPNs, and cloud services via SAML, OIDC, and RADIUS protocols.

• User Enrollment and Training: Managed enrollment campaigns including authenticator provisioning, user communication, and fallback procedures for edge cases.

• Ongoing Management: Platform health monitoring, authenticator lifecycle management, and reporting on passwordless adoption metrics across your organisation.
