LayerV 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.

How does LayerV work?

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.

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.

LayerV is generally available. Free tier includes 500 qURLs/month for developers. Enterprise plans with custom SLAs are available. Try the interactive playground at layerv.ai/qurl/playground — no signup required.

What identity providers does LayerV support?

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.

A qURL is an identity-bound, single-use, expiring access object — the primitive replacing the URL for the agent era. It is minted by LayerV on the OpenNHP (Network Hiding Protocol) standard, and the resource it points to does not respond on the network until the qURL is presented and identity is proven.

For Community Leaders

Share Without Giving Away

Discord messages, Email attachments, and public links all have the same problem: recipients keep the content forever. qURL Agent delivers access instead of copies through identity-bound, time-limited links.

The Problem

Sharing Creates Copies.

The moment you send a file, you've lost control of where it goes next.

Traditional Sharing

Owner→Copy→Recipient

You lose control.

qURL Sharing

Owner→Access→Recipient

No copy. No forwarding. No permanent link.

Real Scenarios

This is happening to communities now.

Real community scenarios and how qURL solves them
Scenario	What happens today	With qURL
Paid course recording leaks	A member shares the Zoom replay link in a public group. Within hours it’s on Reddit — free for hundreds of non-payers.	Each member gets a unique link that only works for them. Sharing it accomplishes nothing.
Discord bot exposes source files	Your bot posts a direct S3 or Google Drive link. The URL is visible in the message — anyone can copy and reuse it.	The bot generates a per-member qURL inline. The source URL never appears in chat.
Template library gets scraped	A scraper finds the folder URL in one shared link and downloads your entire member-only library overnight.	There is no folder URL to find. Each file access requires a fresh, identity-bound qURL.

Use Cases

Built for every community model.

Member-Only Content

Share recordings, PDFs, templates, and resources with verified members only. Links expire after use — no permanent public URLs, ever.

Event Access

Issue per-attendee access links for virtual events, workshops, or live streams. One link per person. Forwarding it to a friend accomplishes nothing.

Creator Monetization

Gate premium content behind identity-verified, single-use links. Works for courses, downloads, livestreams, and more — no DRM required.

Scenario

What happens today

With qURL

Paid course recording leaks

A member shares the Zoom replay link in a public group. Within hours it’s on Reddit — free for hundreds of non-payers.

Each member gets a unique link that only works for them. Sharing it accomplishes nothing.

Discord bot exposes source files

Your bot posts a direct S3 or Google Drive link. The URL is visible in the message — anyone can copy and reuse it.

The bot generates a per-member qURL inline. The source URL never appears in chat.

Template library gets scraped

A scraper finds the folder URL in one shared link and downloads your entire member-only library overnight.

There is no folder URL to find. Each file access requires a fresh, identity-bound qURL.
