Data Movement Governance

The platform that governs data movement, at the kernel.

Hilt is a data movement governance platform. A kernel-level, observational collector derives an identity-resolved stream of process, file, and network events, metadata-only, then behavioral models score exfiltration patterns and the control plane can isolate a host. It runs single-tenant in the customer's own cloud.

The platform that governs data movement, at the kernel

Hilt is a data movement governance platform. It watches where your data goes, not just where it sits: kernel-level and observational, resolved to a real person and the exact job, metadata-only so it never reads the content, and single-tenant in your own cloud.

One detection layer is fed from three surfaces: Linux workloads (Kubernetes, containers, VMs, and bare metal), device endpoints (kernel collectors on macOS and Windows, plus browser-level events across Edge, Safari, Firefox, and Chromium browsers), and the network (wire-level egress and lateral movement).

The loop is collect, enrich, detect, respond. Collect an identity-aware stream off the hot path at about 0.1% of one core. Enrich each event to an actor (Okta, Teleport, SSH, OS identity) and the exact workload and job, where the source allows. Detect exfiltration patterns (read-then-send, sensitive-read-send, novelty bytes, cross-cluster transfers) with behavioral models. Respond by isolating a host at the network level from the control plane.

Straight on scope: metadata-only by default (content-aware inspection is available, single-tenant in your own cloud, never the resting state), host-level network isolation (quarantine), never inline. Coverage is cloud workloads plus device endpoints: kernel collectors on macOS and Windows, and a managed browser extension across Edge, Safari, Firefox, and Chromium browsers. SSO is in progress; deployment is single-tenant in your own environment with full data sovereignty.

FAQ

Common questions about this page

How is Hilt different from DLP?

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.

Who should evaluate Hilt first?

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.

Where should a buyer start?

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.
