How Cyolo Empowers Operations Through Secure Remote Access

Uptime is non-negotiable in modern industrial environments. At Cyolo, we understand the pressure to keep operations running, maintain safety, and support the business – without compromise. Cyolo helps you stay ahead with fast, flexible remote access that’s built for operational continuity.

Keep Your Operations Running — Seamlessly, Securely, and Without Downtime

Downtime isn’t just costly financially. It also disrupts production, impacts delivery schedules and supply chains, and puts immense pressure on workers across the organization. Cyolo helps operational teams and their partners work faster, safer, and smarter by providing easy, secure remote access built for the realities of industrial environments.

The Rising Cost of Downtime

  • $260,000/hour: Average cost of downtime in manufacturing (Pingdom)

  • $125,000/hour: Average unplanned downtime cost in industrial environments (ABB Global Survey)

  • $500,000/hour: Average cost of downtime in oil & gas operations (Evocon)

  • $2.3 million/hour: Average downtime cost in automotive manufacturing (Siemens Industry Report)

Cyolo ensures uptime and operational agility by enabling rapid troubleshooting, vendor maintenance, and issue resolution – without ever compromising safety or control.

How Cyolo Solves Common Operational Challenges

  1. Enables Vendor, Contractor, and Third-Party Access Without Surrendering Control. Onboard external experts and partners instantly to troubleshoot, maintain, or update critical systems. Control access precisely to the specific time window and asset required. Reduce MTTR while keeping systems protected and compliant.

  2. Maintains Oversight and Accountability in Real Time. Monitor live sessions, record activity for audits, and terminate access in real time if needed. Every connection is visible and traceable.

  3. Ensures Consistent, Safe Access Across Distributed Sites. Enable work across multiple sites, even remote or air-gapped ones. No network redesign, no agent installation, and no interruption to production or existing workflows.

  4. Meets Complex Compliance Demands with Ease. Built with Zero Trust principles and aligned with frameworks like NIS2, IEC 62443, ISO 27001, and NIST CSF. Ensure every session meets internal and external standards.

Cyolo's Key Capabilities

What Cyolo Enables

Why It Matters for Operations

Agentless access to applications

Seamless vendor access. Connect to a PLC without installing an agent. Rapid onboarding without agent hassle.

Identity Federation (LDAP, AD, AzureAD, Okta, Duo, and local IDPs)

Centralized control across all IDP providers. Local IdP to easily list new users.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Adds strong authentication to modernize and bring identity-based access even to legacy OT systems.

Credential Vaulting

Secures generic accounts. Users are not exposed to the credentials, lowering the need for rotations. Allows visibility into the identity behind every shared account access.

File Scanning & Secure Transfer

Ensures safe file movement.

Granular Access & Action Policies

Grants a user or group access policy per app or group of apps, minimizing risk of missteps and enabling precise control.

Session Monitoring & Supervision

Operational monitoring & visibility for audits, forensic investigations and oversight over high-risk operations.

Zero Trust Architecture with Least Privilege Access

Minimizes lateral movement and supports compliance.

Flexible Deployments

Deploy multiple environments in one solution – from air-gapped to cloud-connected.

Supports various OT protocols (RDP, VNC, SSH, HTTP/S, SMB, Native, TIA Portal, FactoryTalk)

Secure access to critical tools and systems. End-to-end encryption ensures data integrity and confidentiality at every step.

No Changes to Network

Deploy quickly without reconfiguring systems.

Low Latency

Enables real-time responsiveness. A global network of POPs ensures stable, low-latency access- even for remote sites.

Unique Decentralized Architecture

Cyolo keeps all data, credentials, and access logic within your environment — nothing is processed in the cloud. Even if the internet goes down, local operations continue uninterrupted.

Ease of Use

Simple, intuitive access allows contractors to connect quickly and perform updates or preventive maintenance faster.
