“Frasson is a company always looking for the best technologies in the world to offer to its customers. We were the first in Italy to purchase this type of machine to investigate this new material. Thanks to Cirql, we have completed the material package and with their cutting-edge recycled polymer (rTPU) technology can now also offer SCF with a significant portion of recycled material,” said Alberto Frasson, General Manager at Frasson.

New CSC Survey Finds Overwhelming Majority of CISOs Anticipate Surge in Cyber Attacks Over the Next Three Years16.6.2025 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
An overwhelming 98% of chief information security officers (CISOs) expect a surge in cyber attacks over the next three years as organizations face an increasingly complex and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven digital threat landscape. This is according to new research conducted among 300 CISOs, chief information officers (CIOs), and senior IT professionals by CSC1, the leading provider of enterprise-class domain and domain name system (DNS) security. The report, “CISO Outlook 2025: Navigating Evolving Domain-Based Threats in an Era of AI and Tightening Regulation,” names cybersquatting, domain and DNS hijacking, and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks as the top three global cyber threats in 2024. These risks are only projected to escalate, as cybercriminals leverage new techniques and capabilities from AI and other modern technologies to launch more sophisticated attacks. Looking ahead, cybersquatting, domain-based attacks, and ransomware top the list of cybersecurity conce
Cyolo Unveils Major New Capabilities, Expanding Secure Remote Access Coverage for OT and Cyber-Physical Systems16.6.2025 15:52:00 EEST | Press release
Cyolo, the leading provider of secure remote privileged access for operational technology (OT) and cyber-physical systems (CPS), has announced the launch of several major new capabilities, headlined by Cyolo Third-Party VPN Control (patent pending). This groundbreaking capability within the company’s Cyolo PRO (Privileged Remote Operations) solution delivers visibility and access control for enforced third-party VPN and direct connections without requiring changes to production infrastructure or vendor workflows. In today’s increasingly connected industrial environments, even organizations with mature security programs face a critical blind spot: third-party connections they cannot govern or even see. Some vendors insist on using their own legacy VPNs, site-to-site tunnels, or proprietary ‘black box’ gateways on OT networks, forcing plant managers and industrial operators to accommodate external methods that operate outside of their control. These opaque and unmanaged pathways pose sig
