Cybersecurity operations (OT SecOps) platform for R&D labs

Shared devices.
Accountable science.

CYRA brings identity, accountability and traceability to shared-account lab sessions. Individual sign-in and transparent locking are designed to keep instrument applications running while helping teams connect workstation use to a named person.

For pharma and life-sciences R&D and discovery labs. Less disruption, clearer accountability.

Identity. Accountability.
Traceability.
Continuous science.

Our story

CYRA began with a practical challenge in laboratory IT: people need to share instrument workstations, while security and quality teams need to understand who used them. Ending a Windows session between operators can disrupt the applications those workstations support.

Three questions guide our work: who used the device at a given time, which raw data belongs to which user, and what activity and data are linked to the session? CYRA starts with individual access and supported event records, and is developing the richer context needed to investigate those questions.

Developed by ABRA Solutions AB in Gothenburg, Sweden, CYRA focuses on shared Windows instrument workstations in R&D and early discovery. Access and Log (basic) are in evaluation. Log (premium), Trace, Vault, Track and Aura are in development.

Explore the platform

Six products. One platform.

Continuous work. Connected session context. A workstation identity layer, expanding into application and data context, local file control and user/device intelligence.

CYRA Access.

In evaluation

Authenticate the person.

  • Personal PIN, registered RFID badge or Azure AD (Microsoft Entra ID) sign-in
  • Transparent lock that keeps underlying applications running
  • Centrally managed access policies and operator handovers

CYRA Log.

Basic in evaluation

Record supported session activity.

  • Authentication and access events linked to users and devices
  • Time-stamped records for investigation and review
  • Log (premium), including the e-logbook, is in development

CYRA Trace.

In development

Map session metadata.

  • Observe application usage and data folders during sessions
  • Build context linking users, devices, time and data activity
  • Session context does not by itself establish scientific data ownership

CYRA Vault.

In development

Secure local session data.

  • Store data generated during a session on the shared lab device
  • Control which stored files each person may open
  • File authorisation is distinct from application access

CYRA Track.

In development

Learn session signatures.

  • Learn the empirical session signature of each user and device
  • Develop a picture of normal session behaviour
  • Intended to provide context for investigation

CYRA Aura.

In development

Detect anomalies.

  • Identify deviations for investigation
  • Use session context to inform review
  • Development direction, not a delivered detection guarantee

Status: October 2026. Access and Log (basic) are in evaluation. Log (premium), Trace, Vault, Track and Aura are in development. Features and compatibility depend on the evaluated build and configuration; no delivery date is implied.

How CYRA works

CYRA adds an individual authentication layer to a shared Windows workstation. The operator signs in to CYRA, the instrument application keeps its existing Windows session, and access events can be reviewed against the individual.

A shared lab workstation connects to CYRA Access for individual authentication and Log for supported session events. Potential enterprise integrations include SIEM, training management, LIMS, data platforms, lab automation, equipment servicing, cybersecurity and QA. Premium Log, Trace, Vault, Track and Aura are in development.

Conceptual architecture. Enterprise connections are potential integrations. Access and Log (basic) are in evaluation; data attribution depends on the evaluated build and configuration.

  1. 01

    Configure CYRA Access

    Windows auto logon and auto-start are configured as part of CYRA Access. Lab users authenticate individually without handling the shared Windows password. IT retains ownership of the underlying account and its credential controls.

  2. 02

    Authenticate the operator

    The operator uses a personal PIN, registered badge or Microsoft Entra ID credentials, according to the methods supported and configured for the deployment. CYRA applies the relevant access policy.

  3. 03

    Work and hand over

    The transparent lock controls workstation interaction while underlying applications continue running. When the workstation is locked again, the next operator authenticates individually to continue work in the same Windows session.

  4. 04

    Review access records

    Authorised administrators review supported access events with user, device and time information. Log (premium), including the e-logbook, and Trace session metadata are in development.

The goal is to preserve instrument applications and established scientific workflows. Deployment still requires configuration, compatibility testing, agreed access policies and proportionate validation. We confirm continuity, offline behaviour and recovery in a scoped evaluation.
