HYPERSPHERE IS RECOGNIZED AS A SAMPLE VENDOR BY GARTNER® IN EMERGING TECH: PROVIDER STRATEGY TRENDS IN PREEMPTIVE CYBER DEFENSE
BY HYPERSPHERE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
March 24, 2025
Due to the rise of generative artificial intelligence, the imminence of quantum computers, and ever-stringent industry compliance regulations, preemptive cyber defense (PCD) is becoming an essential strategy within the cybersecurity domain. Indeed, according to Gartner, “preemptive cyber defense is the only effective defense against AI-driven emerging threats.” See Emerging Tech: Provider Strategy Trends in Preemptive Cyber Defense, by Isy Bangurah, Luis Castillo, and Walker Black; 13 November 2024.
Figure 1 of this report shows the top use cases in PCD:
As seen in Figure 1, automated moving target defense (AMTD) is the top use case, along with threat simulation and automated exposure management.
AMTD is based on the military premise that a moving target is harder to attack than a stationary one. AMTD works to disrupt or confuse the attacker from gaining a foothold in the environment, and if so, remaining there.
HyperSphere is Named a Sample Vendor
HyperSphere is proud to announce it has been mentioned by Gartner as a Sample Vendor of PCD and particularly with the AMTD use case. Gartner subscribers can access the full report at Emerging Tech: Provider Strategy Trends in Preemptive Cyber Defense, by Isy Bangurah, Luis Castillo, and Walker Black; 13 November 2024.
Such recognition comes on the heels of other mentions of HyperSphere by Gartner as a Sample Vendor of PCD solutions category. See Emerging Tech: Security — Top Trends in Preemptive Cyber Defense, by John Collins, Luis Castillo, Isy Bangurah, Walker Black; 4 September 2024; Emerging Tech: Build Preemptive Security Solutions to Improve Threat Detection (Part 1), by Luis Castillo and Carl Manion; 7 October 2024; and Emerging Tech: Adoption Trends in Preemptive Cyber Defense, by Isy Bangurah, Luis Castillo, and Walker Black; 12 November 2024.
HyperSphere is a Preemptive Cyber Defense Product Leader
As a product leader, HyperSphere provide a PCD solution that provides at least the following aspects:
- seamless integration with existing systems without adding to the administrative workload of the security team;
- seamless integration within diverse third-party ecosystems;
- minimal impact on current operationally continuity;
- reduction in the number of security tools;
- ease of deployment including cloud deployability; and
- solutions to additional security challenges, such as quantum-resistant encryption and data security at rest.
HyperSphere does so by way of, for example, its SecureStorage™ solution offered under the HyperSphere® brand. SecureStorage protects data before it is even written to disk. The data is secured down to the file level and indeed the frame level using AMTD strategies.
To elaborate, SecureStorage encrypts the data, by frame. The encryption key for that frame is hidden in fourth-dimensional space, namely, the intersection of two hyperspheres in space and time. The process happens again for the next frame wherein a new, wholly independent key is re-seeded automatically until the process is complete. Not only are key vulnerabilities eliminated but a single object may contain thousands of keys that can never be lost, stolen, or misplaced, providing additional defense-in-depth against physical and cyber threats. Moreover, complex and costly key management systems are eliminated, without adding to the administrative workload of the security team.
SecureStorage is also future-proof. The PCD tool is able to use any cipher to encrypt the data. To comply with current DoD and NIST requirements, SecureStorage employs AES-GCM 256 and does so at less than < 1% overhead, all with confidentiality, integrity, and resiliency on demand.
The AMTD-based SecureStorage solution may be seamlessly integrated into existing systems through its S3-compatible interface. HyperSphere offers a comprehensive range of deployment options tailored to meet the diverse needs of organizations. Such options comprise on-premises deployment, cloud deployment, hybrid deployment, managed deployment, virtual appliance deployment, hardware appliance deployment, or containerized deployment.
Such recognition comes on the heels of other mentions of HyperSphere by Gartner as a Sample Vendor of PCD solutions category.

HyperSphere is also a product leader in yet another important aspect. It is the first and only solution to have a published NIST National Checklist hardening guide, derived from NIST 800-53 rev5, and aligning to both FISMA and DoD IL4 baselines:
Moreover, these baselines were peer-reviewed by the NSA.
It should now be quickly apparent that HyperSphere is poised to be foundational to an organization’s PCD capabilities. Indeed, we believe HyperSphere is essential to (i) create robust and cost-effective security against multimodal attacks that leverage classic large-scale computing, AI, and quantum computers; and (ii) comply with ever-demanding security standards and privacy laws.
