This positions them well to sell to enterprises with sensitive industrial control systems or critical infrastructure needing strong early-stage access control and compliance.

Industrial IoT push Past work and press indicate an emphasis on IIoT and critical infrastructure, including partnerships and client wins with national agencies. Target opportunities include manufacturing, energy, utilities, and smart city deployments seeking secure remote access and threat containment at the edge.

Multi-cloud perimeter Collaborations with Cisco on software defined perimeters and multi-cloud security suggest a capability to protect hybrid environments. Prospects should include organizations with distributed cloud resources, large IT estates, and needs to harden perimeters across on-prem and cloud.
