HOPZERO Sphere of Trust is a commercial network access control tool by HOPZERO. Nile Secure is a commercial network access control tool by Nile Secure. Compare features, ratings, integrations, and community reviews side by side to find the best network access control fit for your security stack.
CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, integrations, company size fit, here is our conclusion:
Mid-market and enterprise security teams managing hybrid infrastructure will get immediate value from HOPZERO Sphere of Trust because it enforces network containment without requiring endpoint agents or VLAN redesigns, letting you segment at the packet level across on-premises and cloud simultaneously. The switch port policy injection capability means enforcement happens at network edges, not dependent on agent adoption timelines. This tool prioritizes active containment and anomaly detection over incident recovery, so it's not the right fit for organizations still building foundational SIEM pipelines or those needing deep forensic replay capabilities after compromise.
