For any social or commercial transaction, trust is the foundational pillar. But when it comes to the modern-day IT environment, ‘trust’ is probably the one element that creates more vulnerabilities. In fact, experts hold poor password management and ineffective authentication practices accountable for most data breaches. That is why zero trust security architecture has become one of the most intensely discussed topics today. It ensures a more secure and more employee-friendly way of interacting with corporate apps and data and eliminates transitive trust. This concept has gained even more traction in a world where remote working has become the new normal, and the exposure to cyberattacks has increased significantly.

“Identity is the new key to securing critical assets and organizations have to take care of it. They, today, cannot afford to oversee gaps in traceability and bad password practices. To this end, zero trust solutions promise a feasible way forward by ensuring the proper verification of user identities without granting network access,” states Almog Apirion, the Co-founder and CEO at Cyolo.

Cyolo is a ‘zero trust, zero effort’ cyber security company built for today’s workforce that accesses corporate data from any corner of the globe. The company has architected the Next Generation Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA 2.0), a unified solution that allows IT and security teams to easily implement Zero Trust connectivity and create their own distributed cloud without any infrastructure change. “We are providing our customers the ability to use stronger authentication, including multi-factor authentication (MFA) and device authentication, even with systems that are not MFA-ready or not a part of their domain,” adds Apirion.

Prior to starting Cyolo, Apirion served for 15 years in the Israeli Navy. He was in charge of the cyber unit in the Israeli Navy. He then went on to become a CISO for more than six years. This gave him the opportunity and the exposure to secure connectivity of things. He soon realized a massive transition in the industry from private networks or IP -based connectivity to secure connectivity based on verifiable digital identities. Apirion also observed that often a single user has multiple accounts within organizations, creating a lot of gaps in traceability and leading to undesired damage to the company. In response, he decided to bring a full zero trust model into the picture under the banner of Cyolo.

Today, with its decentralized platform ZTNA 2.0, Cyolo securely connects all users from any location with continuous authorization and complete visibility.
The zero-trust platform is built for easy deployment and scales with minimal effort, supporting a wide range of business needs, growth, and expansion. Further, the platform supports both the IT and OT environments, allowing users to connect to their working environments, while optimizing security, agility, and productivity.

We provide organizations with the next generation of ZTNA, which offers true zero trust with no visibility into customers sensitive data, an adaptive platform that integrates with any environment, and the capability to strengthen your existing identity infrastructure


ZTNA 2.0 has built-in management processes and straightforward onboarding with no installation on a user’s environment. It allows access to the authorized asset and not to the network itself, thereby helping clients achieve their security objectives without compromising their business needs or user experience. Organizations can also implement risk-based policies according to the user’s current level of risk and securely connect any user to any system, resource, or platform. The platform increases visibility and control within clients’ infrastructure by automatically applying policies and enabling real-time supervised access and session recording. As a result, businesses can access a full audit trail that can integrate with their existing SIEM solution and even disconnect risky sessions by the organizational SOAR. ZTNA 2.0 also just-in-time supervised access to connect users and third parties in real-time to ensure they only access what they need, when they need it. “Our platform is a pure software solution. We always promote zero effort for zero trust by simplifying the journey for organizations and improving security, operational agility, and user experience,” adds Apirion.

To help organizations stay agile, secure, and productive, Cyolo has made it its mission to transform the entire organizational cyberspace by delivering identity-based connectivity. The company strives to redefine secure connectivity for organizations and will continue to help secure access for developers, OT operators, employees, and third parties. The platform is adaptive, allowing organizations to integrate their existing controls to increase security, agility, and the value of your existing security stack. Cyolo has doubled its revenue quarter over quarter and is expanding rapidly by supporting organizations on their Zero Trust journey. “We are driven by our passion for reforming the security infrastructure for clients by offering an improved zero trust model to them. Our success is evident from the positive feedback that we receive from our clients, which is driving us to offer full-stack identity-based connectivity to enterprises,” concludes Apirion.

MOUNTAIN VIEW - Cyolo, provider of the fastest and most secure zero-trust access solution for enterprise IT and OT, today announced the next-generation of its partner program aimed at maximizing an organization’s cybersecurity potential for securing their applications and sensitive systems. The newly redesigned program will provide partners with a high profit margin through a simplified reseller structure and richer tools, including access to MSSP (managed security service provider) products to help grow and expand their business, while safeguarding their customers’ operations against any potential access breaches.

Expanding the focus of its partner program to include OT environments, Cyolo is enabling its partners to protect the uptime, security and safety of their customers’ industrial environments and critical infrastructure as well as their IT environments.

In addition, the new flat structure gives partners access to greater scalability and profitability. MSSPs, VARs and distribution partners joining the program benefit from major enablement and are able to provide the only true zero-trust access solution in the market.

“We listened to our partners’ feedback, and redesigning our program demonstrates our company's commitment to delivering the highest quality service to them,” said Almog Apirion, CEO and co-founder of Cyolo. “Zero-trust access continues to be a key component of OT and IT strategies for business continuity and agility in the era of cloud and remote work environments for employees and third parties. We are confident that this shift will help us build stronger relationships and recognition as the leading provider of security access technology in our industry.”

As part of this strategic positioning, Cyolo has brought on a Vice President of Global Partnerships, Jake Alosco. Jake brings more than 10 years of experience in business development and channel programs management and will lead the expansion of the channel business across the company’s portfolio. “We are committed to assisting our partners through a channel-first strategy and a straightforward program that will enable us to provide improved support. We have a very unique solution and can help partners provide OT capabilities in an OT way instead of plugging into the IT way.” Alosco continued, “In the coming months, we will operationalize both services and MSSP programs for our partners.”

Industrial assets and OT owners demand the productivity and efficiencies of scaling a highly specialized employee and contractor workforce. This involves extending users and applications outside of the traditional industrial perimeters. Cyolo accelerates their digital industrial projects without sacrificing safety. Joe O'Donnell, Vice President ICS/OT of Cyolo, said, “Cyolo has develop a world class OT Partner Program that encompasses Automation and OT vendors, Systems Integrators, OT/ICS MSSP's. Cyolo’s channel program is a game changer for OT security providers, as it allows partner-led OT services and solutions to rapidly assist the customer's OT practitioners and their secure digital journeys. It's how industry works!”

With 30 partners already in the program, the company is ready to scale globally and reach new markets through its expansion in North America and further into EMEA. Additionally, the program includes a range of services and resources for partners helping to optimize OT strategies. As more companies look to deploy zero-trust access to mitigate high-risk nightmares, Cyolo offers its partners a wide range of benefits that extend from marketing support, channel forward collateral and a specialized partner portal to personalized service, trainings and NFR licenses.

“What Cyolo’s technology enables for customers is inspiring heightened channel partner & customer engagement activity, so this innovation in Cyolo’s channel program comes at the perfect time and adds to our anticipation of a long and successful partnership. I’m confident that this program will help us foster strong relationships with our channel partners and open new opportunities for our business by providing much needed and true zero-trust access,” said Lance Williams, Chief Product Officer at Distology.

On the heels of $60 Million raised in Series B, this partner program supports the goal of bringing stronger security, greater productivity and better operational agility to organizations embarking on or continuing their digital transformation journeys.
