Labshock and Y Cyber Partnership: Advancing OT Security Validation
A collaboration focused on operational OT security, testing, and industrial cyber defense.
Labshock has entered a strategic partnership with Y Cyber, part of the HWG Sababa Group, an Italy-based OT cybersecurity organization focused on industrial environments.
Y Cyber specializes in operational OT security for industrial operators, suppliers, and critical infrastructure. Their approach combines governance, protection, and intelligence, supported by one of the few dedicated OT SOC and CERT capabilities in Europe.
This partnership is built around a shared principle:
OT security must be testable, not theoretical.
In traditional industrial cybersecurity environments, security controls are often deployed but not validated under real operational conditions. This leads to gaps between expected security behavior and actual system response.
Labshock and Y Cyber aim to close this gap by aligning testing, detection, and operational validation into a continuous workflow:
test >> detect >> validate >> improve
This model reflects how modern OT security should operate: - continuous validation of detection systems - real-world simulation of industrial environments - verification of incident response capabilities
The collaboration focuses on improving the reliability of OT security systems through operational testing and realistic industrial scenarios.
Organizations operating in Italy and across European industrial sectors can explore Y Cyber for advanced OT security capabilities and real-world SOC operations.
