Executive Summary

Cyolo sells zero-trust remote access for operational technology, having narrowed from broader IT and OT access, and in February 2026 Gartner listed it in a market guide for that category. Cyolo PRO connects employees and outside vendors to industrial control systems and adds identity checks, credential vaulting, session recording, and supervision to legacy equipment. Cyolo has not yet matched that recognition with public financial proof: after raising $85 million by mid-2022, it reports a doubled customer base and 80% yearly growth, yet has disclosed no funding since June 2022 and no revenue, so only its own numbers back the growth. Cyolo keeps credentials and session data inside each customer’s boundary by design, and no cross-customer data asset appears in the record.
