About HYPR
HYPR sells identity assurance software that combines passwordless authentication, risk-based policy, and automated identity verification. It serves large employers and consumer-facing businesses, including banks, healthcare firms, and manufacturers. The platform aims to stop credential theft and account takeover across the identity lifecycle, from hiring to departure. The company offers three main products. HYPR Affirm verifies that employees and customers are who they claim to be. HYPR Authenticate provides FIDO2 certified passwordless multi-factor authentication. HYPR Adapt uses risk signals to adjust security controls in real time. HYPR also supplies an authenticator app, a desktop MFA client, and an SDK for custom applications. It integrates with existing identity providers and security tools. The company says its approach avoids password-based fallbacks and supports regulatory requirements such as PSD2 and NIST AAL3.
