7 Shortcomings of Legacy Secure Remote Access (SRA)
2024 Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Cyber-Physical Systems Security Names Cyolo as a Sample Vendor
Cyolo PRO for Automotive Manufacturing
The advent of Industry 4.0 has transformed the automotive industry by integrating innovative technologies like automation, artificial intelligence (AI), manufacturing execution systems (MES), and advanced data analytics into more traditional industrial systems and processes. Technologies that boost connectivity and efficiency are generating substantial ROI for automotive manufacturers,¹ but they also heighten cybersecurity risks and expose organizations to new safety and security threats.
As smart factories grow more dependent on interconnected systems and devices, the attack surface for potential cyberthreats continues to expand. According to 2022 research from Upstream Automotive, the automotive industry experienced a staggering 225% increase in cyberattacks over the previous three years.
If proper access, connectivity, and supervisory controls are not in place, cyberattacks targeting the automotive industry can exploit a variety of entry points, including factory machines, auto dealers, finance companies, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and parts manufacturers throughout the supply chain. And as vehicles themselves come to rely increasingly on software and digital interfaces, they may also serve as a target in their own right. Protecting vehicles and the systems used to build and distribute them is crucial to ensuring the physical safety of workers, drivers, and passengers as well as the operational integrity of the broader transportation infrastructure.
Cyolo PRO (Privileged Remote Operations) is an advanced Secure Remote Access (SRA) solution built to meet the the distinctive needs of operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS). Cyolo PRO empowers organizations across the automotive industry to safely connect remote workers, third-party vendors and OEMs, and privileged employees to even the most sensitive assets and environments.
