Prevent Lockouts & Security Gaps with HYPR Policy Simulation
Highlights:
- HYPR Policy Simulation allows you to test authentication policies before deployment to prevent access issues.
- Simulating policies with real user data helps identify and eliminate security gaps before they go live.
- Preventing accidental lockouts and operational disruptions ensures seamless business continuity.
- Fine-tuning policies in a controlled environment optimizes security without impacting real users.

Authentication policies in Identity and Access Management (IAM) are the bedrock of modern enterprise security. They control who accesses what, safeguarding your organization's crown jewels — its data and systems. But deploying new (or even tweaking existing) policies can feel like navigating a minefield. One misstep can trigger accidental lockouts, open up security gaps or even bring operations to a screeching halt.
Wouldn't it be great if you could take those policies for a test drive before unleashing them on your users? Now you can. HYPR's Policy Simulation lets you do just that — validate your authentication policies in a safe and controlled environment, so you can be sure they work exactly as intended before they go live.
Deploy with Confidence, Secure by Design
Run simulations to see precisely how policy changes will impact user access before they're enforced. This proactive approach eliminates the risk of:
- Accidental Lockouts: No more locking out legitimate users from critical resources.
- Security Gaps: Prevent unauthorized access and keep your sensitive data locked down tight.
- Operational Disruptions: Ensure business continuity by preventing access issues that impact productivity.
HYPR Policy Simulation lets you fine-tune your configurations without impacting real users, ensuring a smooth and secure transition for every policy update.
Test Drive Your Security with Policy Simulation
The HYPR Policy Simulation feature is accessed through the HYPR Adapt policy engine within the HYPR Control Center. From there, you can define a new risk policy, selecting from built-in templates or crafting custom rules tailored to your specific requirements.
Once your policy is defined, you can select a real user account from your system to use in the simulation. This allows you to see how the policy would affect an actual user's access without any real-world impact. You can also specify a timeframe for the simulation, determining the period for which you want to analyze real user events.
With the user and timeframe selected, HYPR Policy Simulation would process the user's events and evaluate how the policy would impact their access. The results are displayed in an easy-to-understand format, showing whether the policy would have blocked or allowed access based on the user's behavior.
This allows you to fine-tune your policies before deployment, ensuring they work exactly as intended. By testing in a simulated environment, you can identify and address any potential issues before they impact real users.
