Cyolo
Cyolo is a zero-trust network access startup focused on secure remote access for operational technology, industrial control systems, and other critical infrastructure environments. It targets manufacturers, energy and utility operators, and industrial enterprises that need to grant employees, contractors, and vendors access to legacy and air-gapped systems without a traditional VPN.
Cyolo provides an agentless, identity-based zero-trust network access (ZTNA) platform built for operational technology (OT), industrial control systems (ICS), and other cyber-physical environments where traditional remote-access tools and agent-based VPNs are difficult or impossible to deploy. Its core product, Cyolo PRO, brokers connections for employees, contractors, and third-party vendors without requiring changes to underlying network infrastructure, and supports fully offline or air-gapped deployments alongside cloud-connected and on-premises modes. The platform layers identity-centric, just-in-time access policies on top of session-level controls, including live supervision, recording, an integrated credentials vault, multi-factor authentication that extends to legacy systems that cannot natively support it, and malware scanning on file transfers. A companion product, Cyolo CPS Segmentation, adds OT asset discovery, network traffic analysis, and microsegmentation with policy simulation before enforcement. Use cases center on third-party and privileged remote access, IT/OT convergence projects, and compliance-driven access control in manufacturing, energy, utilities, and data center environments. The platform integrates with identity providers such as Okta and Microsoft Entra ID, and with SIEM/SOAR tools including Microsoft Sentinel, IBM QRadar, Fortinet, and Google SecOps.

See allAryaka evolved from a managed SD-WAN provider into a unified SASE-as-a-service vendor targeting globally distributed mid-sized and larger enterprises. The company operates its own private backbone and overlay network, delivering performance-optimized connectivity alongside security capabilities. Aryaka positions itself as a partner-led, fully managed service rather than a toolbox, appealing to organizations that want SASE outcomes without building their own network engineering and security operations. Its focus is on application performance, observability, and simplified procurement with newer consumption models.
Bowtie Security is a newer security company focused on delivering sovereign SASE for organizations in highly regulated or data-sensitive sectors. Instead of routing traffic through a vendor-operated shared cloud, Bowtie’s approach runs SASE capabilities within the customer’s own infrastructure, giving them full control over data and logs. The company targets industries where data residency, sovereignty, or third-party risk concerns make classic cloud SASE models problematic.
Cato SASE Cloud connects branches, data centers, cloud resources, and roaming users to a unified cloud platform that delivers both networking and security as one service. Traffic from any edge…
Cloudbrink is a networking and security startup specializing in high-performance secure access for hybrid workers, with a strong emphasis on user experience over commodity VPN. Instead of building a classic POP-based SASE network, Cloudbrink’s architecture uses lightweight software clients and FAST edges that can run close to users in public clouds. The company targets organizations where remote and hybrid work is the norm and traditional VPN or ZTNA solutions struggle to deliver consistent performance. Its value proposition is reducing tickets and friction for IT teams while still delivering zero-trust access and granular control.
