Spyrna year one
I will present our Spyrna journey as a startup reflecting on year one. What’s the status? What went wrong? What help did we receive? And what about the road ahead?
We are developing the Spyrna Open Telematic platform, based on real-time 3D scanning and sensor data that, combined, provide new levels of optimization, CO2 savings, and security for the transportation industry. But IoT devices on the road come with many challenges. can we handle them?

We had a good product and happy customers. We were still doing it wrong.

Most remote access vendors come from IT. So did we - and that was the problem. We brought IT assumptions into OT environments, where uptime is non-negotiable and one wrong connection can have physical consequences. In 2024, we stopped and asked why. Why are we here? Why did our customers choose us? Why did others walk away? Why did it matter that the remote access box was outbound-only and portable? Why does it matter that production data never travels through the cloud?

The answers reshaped our approach and turned compliance into our most reliable source of innovation.

Three lessons from the OT floor
The boundary bias: Why access governance must start at the network boundary, not the application layer
The model trap: Why a vendor’s business model matters more than their feature list
The compliance compass: Why treating NIS2 and sector-specific regulation as a strategic driver - not a checkbox - turns regulatory pressure into product clarity
No product demos. Just hard-won learnings from bridging IT and OT in critical infrastructure.
