Manufacturers Face Rising OT Cybersecurity Threats
The Promise and Peril of Industry 4.0 Connectivity
Industry 4.0 connects people, machines, and data to drive efficiency and innovation. But digital transformation also expands the attack surface for cybercriminals.
The legacy OT systems powering today’s production lines were simply not built to withstand modern cyberthreats. On top of this, reliance on third-party vendors and OEMs creates new entry points that attackers are quick to exploit.

Top challenges for
manufacturers include:
Downtime = dollars lost
Even short outages mean lost revenue, missed quotas, and potential safety hazards.
Third-party access vulnerabilities
OEMs and contractors need access to perform crucial tasks. But every extra connection widens your attack surface.
Legacy equipment, modern threats
Legacy machines keep operations running but expose manufacturers to sophisticated cyber threats.
IP theft & espionage
Proprietary designs and R&D data are high-value targets for attackers.
Limited visibility
Complex supply chains, third-party vendors, and undiscovered assets make it tough to monitor what’s really happening inside your facilities.
Compliance pressure
In a rapidly shifting regulatory landscape, new and stricter compliance mandates demand attention.
Stay Connected, Stay Protected: How Cyolo Helps Manufacturers Keep Production Running Smoothly, Safely, and Securely
At Cyolo, we believe security tools that disrupt operations, cause downtime, or add complexity don’t belong on the factory floor. That’s why our remote access solution is built for speed and simplicity as well as security.
The [Cyolo] solution fully met our expectations. We gained security, flexibility, and economic sustainability — all within a single platform.

With Cyolo PRO (Privileged Remote Operations), manufacturers get:
Fast, frictionless access
When every minute counts, Cyolo helps maximize uptime by providing connections with ultra-low latency and high availability. No more staring at spinning wheels as your VPN struggles to connect!
Easy deployment and simple scalability – without network changes
Deploy on-prem, on-cloud, or offline in under 90 days and with no need to change your network architecture. Then, seamlessly scale up or down according to your business needs.
Full visibility, full control
Monitor, record, and audit every privileged session to reduce insider threat and third-party access risks, with full activity logs, supervised access, and built-in reporting.
Zero-trust access that works for OT
Granular, identity-based access controls enforce the principle of least privilege, eliminate risky network-level access and prevent lateral movement. Plus, all sensitive data stays within your trusted boundaries and is never stored or held by Cyolo.
Safer operations, stronger resilience
Keep production running, reduce downtime, and protect both your financial outcomes and the safety of your workforce.
Real Results from Real Manufacturers
Cyolo had everything we needed in one solution. The security features met all our access requirements, such as two-factor authentication before entering the network and auditing and sesson recording once inside the network. Cyolo gave us all the control and security that we needed in just one solution, plus it was a fast and simple implementation.
Shlomo KamilyanCIO, Rapac Energy
We use Cyolo to grant and to monitor vendor/contractor access to our internal systems, data, PLCs, all those kind of things that they need to access. One of the nice things about Cyolo is that we can record sessions, [and] we can ask for manager approval in order to allow those people in. Everyone knows when they're accessing any of our resources, and it's all approved. Those features have made Cyolo a gamechanger for us.
