גישה מאובטחת מרחוק למערכות הארגוניות הפכה לכורח המציאות מאז הקורונה והצורך עלה בישראל ביתר שאת אחרי השביעי באוקטובר. במערכות פיזיות ותפעוליות גישה מאובטחת מרחוק היא צורך קיומי מחד, על מנת לאפשר תפעול תקלות 24 שעות ביממה. מאידך יש צורך בבקרה קפדנית על מי מתחבר, איך ולאן כולל תיעוד של כול הפעילויות שמתבצעות

שוק חברות הטכנולוגיה שעוסקות בגישה מרחוק לסביבות תפעוליות התפתח מאוד בשנים האחרונות עם מגוון אפשריות ומתן מענה לצרכים שונים של הלקוחות.

נחשון פינקו מארח את אלמוג אפיריון מנכ"ל ומייסד-שותף בסיולו בשיחה על ההתקדמות הטכנולוגית של פתרונות המאובטחים לגישה מרחוק במערכות פיזיות וסביבות תפעוליות והשילוב של יכולות פאם (גישה מועדפת)

Secure remote access to corporate systems has become a necessity since the COVID-19 pandemic, and the need has increased in Israel even more after October 7th, in physical and operational systems.

Secure remote access is an existential necessity, enabling 24-hour fault management. On the other hand, there is a need for strict control over who connects, how, and where, including documentation of all activities carried out.

The market for technology companies that deal with remote access to operational environments has significantly developed in recent years, with a variety of options and solutions to different customer needs.

Nachshon Pincu hosts Almog Apirion, CEO and co-founder of Cyolo, in a conversation about the technological advancement of secure solutions for remote access to physical systems and operational environments and the integration of PAM (privilege access management) capabilities.

New Zealand’s Peter Jackson from SGS (not ofLord of the Rings fame!) speaks about right-sizing cybersecurity legislature,OT security assessments and the low-hanging fruits in building resilience. Hediscusses with host Klaus Mochalski how an OT security assessment helpsunderstand the risk landscape, how resilience can be hardened fast and easy,what challenges prevail in segmentation and isolation processes and why it isimportant to talk about genuine risks and not the bogeyman.

Many manufacturing leaders believe they’re seeing 80–85% of their OT environment industrial assets. But in this episode, Dino and Craig reveal the reality that most have visibility into only 30–35% of their industrial control system assets, leaving the hidden 70% vulnerable.

In this hard-hitting episode, they dismantle the false sense of OT security. They explore why million-dollar cybersecurity tool investments aren't fully utilized, and expose the costly disconnect between corporate IT, plant-floor teams, and third-party vendors.

From debunking the air gap myth to stressing the need to trust but verify every connection, they show how to turn underutilized tools into proactive defenses that improve both security and operational efficiency.

If you think your ICS is fully protected, this conversation might change your mind.

Our host Bryson sits down with Colin Ahern and Kirk Herath, two of the only cybersecurity experts working in Governors’ offices in the United States. Colin was appointed Chief Cyber Officer of the State of New York by Governor Kathy Hochul in June 2022, and Kirk stepped into his role as Cybersecurity Strategic Advisor to Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted the same year. In their positions, Colin and Kirk are responsible for coordinating their states’ cybersecurity capabilities, overseeing threat assessment and response, working with local governments to prepare for and remediate cyber attacks, and more.

What were the critical lessons learned in building statewide cybersecurity programs from the ground up? How do states navigate the shifting landscape of federal support? And what are the biggest challenges and opportunities on the horizon for cyber czars and strategic advisors across the country?

“You can't replicate these shared services unless you're doing it together. You just can't. We can either succeed together or we can fail separately. There's really not a middle ground where we can all have exactly everything we want all the time. Because like we've said, this is a risk management exercise in a world of limited resources,” Colin explained.
