Cyolo launches CPS Segmentation to curb lateral movement in OT networks

Secure remote privileged access company Cyolo Ltd. today announced Cyolo CPS Segmentation, a microsegmentation product that extends its platform beyond human-to-machine access into controlling how machines and systems communicate across critical infrastructure.

The offering targets a gap industrial operators have long acknowledged but rarely closed. Segmentation caps how far an intruder can travel after breaking into a network. Putting it in place has been the hard part. Older methods call for network redesigns and infrastructure changes and both bring downtime.

In plants and utilities that run around the clock, that’s a dealbreaker. Many operators put it off and relied on detection and response instead.

That tradeoff is getting harder to justify. Operations keep adding connections and artificial intelligence is speeding up attacks. Cyolo’s pitch is to box threats in before they move sideways and to do it without the rebuilds that sank earlier segmentation efforts.
