How does CyberElements handle personal and unmanaged devices?

CyberElements gives personal and unmanaged devices clientless, browser-based access. A protocol break separates the device from the target application, so users reach the resource while the underlying system stays isolated. Managed devices can use the client for fuller device-posture checks.

What happens when users work in places where standard MFA is impractical?

Pulse delivers MFA through typing behaviour, using the keyboard already in front of the user. This supports correctional facilities, warehouses, production floors and other environments where smartphones, hardware tokens or push prompts create problems.

Can CyberElements give remote users access to legacy and homegrown applications?

Yes. Remote Browser Isolation and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure make legacy and homegrown applications reachable through isolated environments. Users connect from the browser while the application remains protected from direct device exposure.

How many configuration options are available for access policies?

Security teams can tune access policies with up to 20 configuration options, including update requirements, permitted IP ranges, allowed access windows and other conditions linked to the user, device, context and resource.

What is the difference between CyberElements ZTNA and secure remote access?

ZTNA is the underlying architecture. Secure remote access is the use case it delivers for organisations replacing VPN-based access across employees, contractors, field workers, IT systems and OT environments.

Can CyberElements replace separate PAM and ZTNA tools?

Yes. CyberElements combines ZTNA and PAM under the same access model and administration console. Users who need both remote access and privileged session governance can be managed through one platform, with one audit trail.

How quickly can secure remote access be activated?

The platform is live from the browser without infrastructure changes. First users can connect under defined access policies within a working day. Large deployments covering multiple user profiles, environments and access types are typically complete within a few weeks.

Secure Remote Access

Secure the laptop on the kitchen table and the access from the contractor's tablet.

Users connect from kitchen tables, service vans and legacy environments that rarely look like the neat diagram in the IT policy. CyberElements gives each session a controlled route to the right IT, OT and AI systems, for the right window, with continuous device checks that keep only the right doors open.

Challenges

VPNs connect users before knowing who, what, when and where they’re from.

A personal laptop, a contractor tablet or an unmanaged device can become the path into systems that were never meant to be exposed. Secure remote access has to verify identity, device posture, context and time of access before the session opens and during the session, especially when legacy apps and critical IT or OT resources are involved.

VPN overreach

The job needed one application. The VPN packed a guided tour.

Once connected, a remote user typically reaches far more of the network than any single task requires. The contractor who needs to update one system lands inside a much wider estate. Over-privileged, under-monitored and with no automatic expiry when the job is done.

BYOD and unmanaged devices

The iPad with TikTok installed has entered the chat.

Employees connect from home on personal laptops. Field contractors arrive with their own tablets. The access request is legitimate. So is the device’s baggage: personal apps, old patches, browser extensions and whatever was open five minutes before work started. Security still has to govern the session.

Legacy apps

The old system still runs payroll, production or somebody’s blood pressure.

Some applications are old enough to dislike the cloud and important enough to keep running. Remote access still has to reach them safely, especially when they support critical operations. The workforce needs to get in, but the current tools make it harder than it should be.

Distributed infrastructure and downtime

The fix is simple. The site is annoyingly far away.

Smart grids, telecom antennas and industrial sites can be spread across hundreds of locations. When every issue needs an onsite visit, a five-minute fix becomes a postal round: three short stops, two long drives and one big invoice.

Separate PAM and ZTNA tools

Two tools means two places for the story to change.

Remote access and privileged access often involve the same user, the same task and the same critical system. Running PAM and ZTNA from separate providers creates two policy sets, two audit trails and two invoices for one access problem.

How It Works

Keep every remote session in its own lane.

Users connect through the route that fits the work: browser-based access or native desktop applications. CyberElements checks identity, device posture and context before the session opens, then keeps assessing the conditions as work happens. The double barrier keeps local applications hidden, and each user reaches only the resource their task requires.

Step 1

Start each session on the right route.

The session starts with the access mode that fits the task, device and resource. Some users work through the browser. Others keep using the desktop application the job already depends on. The door changes, but the rule stays the same: each session is governed from the moment it opens.

Step 2

CyberElements continuously rechecks device and context.

Before the session opens, CyberElements verifies who is connecting and checks the device, location and access time. It then continuously reassesses device posture and context throughout the session against up to 20 configuration options, including update status, IP range and allowed time of access.

Step 3

The double-barrier architecture keeps systems hidden from the internet.

The Controller and Edge Gateway communicate through an outbound-only encrypted connection. No inbound ports are opened. IT, OT, AI, legacy applications and industrial infrastructure stay hidden before, during and after the session.

Step 4

Access opens only to the resource the task requires.

Users reach the application, system or asset their work allows. Least-privilege and just-in-time access keep the session scoped to the job. When the session ends, every application closes behind them. The next time they connect, CyberElements checks the conditions again and shows only what they are authorised to use.

Step 5

Isolation brings old applications back into reach.

Remote Browser Isolation and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure give users access to legacy and homegrown applications built before external connectivity was part of the plan. The application runs in an isolated environment, so the user can reach it safely.

Step 6

One console keeps every session accountable.

Employees, contractors, field engineers and MSP teams are managed from one Administration Console. The Access Platform gives users a centralised view of authorised IT, OT and AI resources, while one audit trail records the session from start to finish.

Industry Applications

Every IT/OT environment has its own version of the same access problem.

The architecture is the same across every sector. The access policies, the device scope and the audit trail adapt to the environment.

Defence & Critical Infrastructure

One platform to maintain hundreds of distributed sites.

Energy sites, telecom antennas and critical infrastructure can sit across hundreds of locations. CyberElements lets authorised teams reach one specific asset when the job is local, or reach every site that needs the same fix from one governed route. Each session stays scoped to the work, while the rest of the estate stays hidden.

Healthcare

Give patient data a safer route than WhatsApp group chats.

Healthcare teams need to share and access sensitive records across sites, shifts and remote settings. CyberElements gives authorised professionals a governed, sovereign route to the data they need. For connected medical devices, vendors can perform telemaintenance on the right equipment while the rest of the estate stays out of view.

Industrial & Manufacturing

Fix the production floor without waiting for the engineer to show up.

Production lines don’t wait for an engineer to travel. Maintenance contractors connect from tablets in the field. Connection peaks at shift start are handled automatically. One platform replaces a separate VPN per line, per provider and per site.

MSPs

Remote coding and SaaS maintenance are finally as controlled as onsite work.

MSP engineers need to maintain client systems remotely without turning every environment into a special project. CyberElements governs remote coding, SaaS maintenance and client access from one platform, with least-privilege controls and a clean audit trail each client can see.

Public Sector

Give public services a secure way to access citizens’ data.

Public agencies and government contractors need remote access that protects citizen data and proves who accessed what. CyberElements provides named-user access, full session traceability and least-privilege enforcement from one console, aligned with NIS2 and sector compliance expectations.

Financial Services

Retire the VPN before the regulator asks about it.

Remote working in financial services has expanded faster than the security controls around it. VPNs grant too much access. Shared credentials leave no audit trail. CyberElements governs every remote session by identity and context, scopes access to the task and produces the continuous traceability that DORA and sector regulators require.
