About Hilt
Hilt helps security teams understand and stop unauthorized data movement across cloud, endpoint, and network environments. The company is focused on data movement governance, kernel-level telemetry, and faster containment for regulated and performance-sensitive teams.
Hilt is building the runtime data movement layer for security teams that cannot afford to learn about exfiltration after the fact. The product combines kernel-level telemetry, behavioral baselines, and automated response so teams can detect and stop unauthorized movement across cloud, endpoint, and network environments.
Hilt is built for security leaders and infrastructure teams in regulated, performance-sensitive environments, including hedge funds, banks and fintech teams, and law firms. These buyers care about speed-to-containment, deployment friction, evidence quality, and telemetry depth more than they care about a broad but shallow feature checklist.
Offense is moving faster than defense. Breach patterns at companies like Vercel, Mercor, and others show that attackers and insiders route around whichever single-channel control is in place, and every new SaaS tool, AI service, or productivity app an enterprise adopts creates another path. The reactive model — add a new integration every time a new app shows up, write a new content rule every time a new pattern appears — does not scale with the rate of adoption.
Hilt is architected so that coverage is structural, not catalog-driven. The detection layer runs at the kernel syscall boundary, which means it sees every process writing to a file, opening a socket, or copying to the clipboard, regardless of which application is doing it. A new SaaS tool or a new LLM endpoint does not require a new Hilt integration: the bytes still move through the kernel, so Hilt still sees them. The structural bet is to instrument below the application layer once, so the next application a team adopts is covered by default rather than by a follow-up project.

FAQ
Hilt focuses on runtime behavior and data movement rather than only content rules on known channels. It is designed to catch anomalous transfers even when a user or service technically had permission to access the data.
Hilt is best suited for security teams in regulated or performance-sensitive environments that need faster containment for insider risk, exfiltration, and runtime data movement.
Most buyers should start with a direct alternative page like Cyberhaven or DTEX, then move into the category comparison hub and the product feed pages that match the highest-risk layer in their environment.
