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.

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, simplicity, and safety as well as security.

The [Cyolo] solution fully met our expectations. We gained security, flexibility, and economic sustainability — all within a single platform.

Real Results from Real Manufacturers

Cyolo becomes the only way in – and that’s a good thing. This isn’t just about cybersecurity. It’s about doing things in a smarter, more secure way.

Global automotive manufacturer

We now are able to have secure remote access for employees, contractors, and vendors. We know when they come into our networks, we know what they're going to access, and we can go back and review those sessions and determine if they're doing what we authorized them to do.

Senior Systems Administrator, Tata Chemicals

It’s the first time we’ve had third parties ask if they could use it for more. Usually, it’s grumbling. But now the reaction is: ‘Oh, this is quite good. Can we use it for X as well?’

Global F&B manufacturer

The transition costs were more than covered in the first year. We let the team choose what was best for the business, because we knew we could afford all the options.
