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.

Its go-to-market emphasizes simplicity and predictable subscription pricing.
Aryaka 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.
