Question 1

What is LayerV.ai?

Accepted Answer

LayerV.ai is a preemptive cybersecurity platform that makes infrastructure invisible to attackers. We implement the OpenNHP (Network Hiding Protocol) standard from the Cloud Security Alliance. Instead of detecting attacks after they start, we prevent them by eliminating the attack surface entirely.

Question 2

How does LayerV.ai work?

Accepted Answer

LayerV uses a 5-step authentication flow: (1) Knock - encrypted request sent, (2) Verify - identity and policy validated, (3) Grant - temporary tunnel opened, (4) Connect - resource visible only to authenticated user, (5) Audit - access logged. Protected resources have zero network presence until authentication succeeds.

Question 3

Is LayerV.ai a VPN?

Accepted Answer

No. VPNs encrypt traffic but servers remain visible and scannable. LayerV makes servers completely invisible - they have zero network presence until authentication succeeds. This is a fundamentally different approach called Network Hiding.

Question 4

When will LayerV.ai be available?

Accepted Answer

LayerV.ai is currently in pilot program, accepting enterprise applications. General availability is planned for Q1 2026, alongside the official CSA OpenNHP specification publication. You can try an interactive demo at layerv.ai/demos.

Question 5

What identity providers does LayerV support?

Accepted Answer

LayerV integrates with major identity providers including Okta, Azure AD (Entra ID), Google Workspace, Auth0, and Ping Identity. Any OIDC or SAML-compatible provider can be integrated.
