Cyolo launched several major new capabilities, headlined by its patent-pending Cyolo Third-Party VPN Control.
This capability within the company’s Cyolo PRO (Privileged Remote Operations) solution delivers visibility and access control for enforced third-party VPN and direct connections without requiring changes to production infrastructure or vendor workflows.
“In today’s virtual environments, third-party vendors are essential for the unbroken continuity of industrial operations and critical infrastructure—both vital for the economy and national security. However, third-party access methods too often introduce unacceptable risks,” says Almog Apirion, CEO and co-founder of Cyolo. “We are always thinking about the real-world challenges our customers face and endlessly innovating to solve those problems. This latest advance represents the next step in the transformation of OT and CPS access, making it more agile, secure, and seamless for administrators and end users, without forcing vendors to change the tools they rely upon.”
Key takeaways:
· The new Third-Party VPN Control capability enables visibility and access policy enforcement, even when externally managed VPNs or hardware gateways are used.
- Instant Collaboration Link is a browser-based, one-time secure link, enabling session owners to invite multiple external participants, i.e., vendors, auditors and engineers into RDP, SSH, or VNC sessions including security controls without agent installations.
- Secure Remote Assistance consists of native, secure technical support for both user-initiated and helpdesk-initiated assistance sessions, allowing organizations to deliver timely support while maintaining complete security and operational governance.
- Asset Access Hub provides a comprehensive view of assets across various business contexts (e.g., function, vendor) and technical attributes (e.g., IP address, zone, access status). This empowers administrators to manage access based on relevant context and quickly assign accurate, role-based permissions.
