Hoop
Hoop is an Israeli private cybersecurity startup building secure access and workflow controls for engineering and infrastructure operations.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Hoop develops infrastructure access-security tooling intended to reduce credential risk and strengthen operational control for engineering teams. The platform targets secure interaction with sensitive environments while preserving developer and DevOps productivity.
The company is privately held and venture-backed, with seed financing announced in 2025. Hoop operates from Israel and addresses a practical security need at the intersection of identity, platform engineering, and operational governance.
Dual-use relevance is high: controlled access to sensitive systems is required in enterprise infrastructure and defense-adjacent environments where operator actions and credentials must be tightly governed.
