The Silicon Review
"We are on a mission to secure the cyber-physical systems of connected organizations."
Cyber-physical systems technology seeks to develop the processes, networking and technology needed for the seamless integration of cyber and physical systems, but the benefits of cyber-physical systems are not limited to fields related to technology and engineering. The science of CPS has the capability to impact technology in a wide variety of industries and organizations, and CPS allows us to imagine, create, develop, refine and perpetuate smart systems in fields that result in the betterment of industries, communities and individuals. CPSs are integrations of computation, networking, and physical processes: the combination of several systems of different nature whose main purpose is to control a physical process and, through feedback, adapt itself to new conditions, in real time. CPSs are transforming the way humans interact with engineered systems, just as the internet has transformed the way people interact with information. Humans will remain crucial in this scenario. As the most flexible and intelligent “entity” in the CPS, humans assume the role of a sort of “highest-level controlling instance”, supervising the operation of the mostly automated and self-organizing processes.
Claroty empowers organizations to secure cyber-physical systems across industrial (OT), healthcare (IoMT), and enterprise (IoT) environments: the Extended Internet of Things (XIoT). The company’s unified platform integrates with customers’ existing infrastructure to provide a full range of controls for visibility, risk and vulnerability management, threat detection, and secure remote access. Backed by the world’s largest investment firms and industrial automation vendors, Claroty is deployed by hundreds of organizations at thousands of sites globally. The company is headquartered in New York City and has a presence in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America.
Empowering Organizations Threat Intelligence with Robust Product Suite
Claroty xDome: It is a modular, SaaS-powered industrial cybersecurity platform that scales to protect your environment and fulfill your goals as they evolve. A broad range of XIoT assets underpin your industrial environment: from PLCs, RTUs, and actuators, to smart HVAC and lighting systems. xDome secures them all. Whether you want to automate asset discovery, combat zero-day attacks, or aren’t sure where to start, xDome will support and grow with you on your entire journey. As a SaaS solution with a flexible UI built to adapt to all OT, security, and executive needs, xDome deploys and scales effortlessly no matter the user or use case. xDome’s extensive technical ecosystem empowers you to easily extend your existing security and operational infrastructure to your industrial environment. Easily identify and manage the risks and vulnerabilities — such as missing patches, asset end-of-life indicators, and CVEs — affecting your managed and unmanaged assets. All vulnerabilities are automatically evaluated and scored based on the risks they pose to your network, enabling more efficient and effective remediation efforts.
Medigate by Claroty: Medigate is a modular, SaaS-powered healthcare cybersecurity platform that scales to protect your environment, address your use cases, and fulfill your goals as they evolve. Medigate's combined use of both passive and light-active techniques enables you to see all device traffic. With their compatibility across over 500+ unique device protocols, all the traffic is fully interpreted. Device cybersecurity depends on a complex set of factors, and it can be hard to know what the right action is. With a ‘context-aware’ set of detail about each device, the next-step recommendations become useful. With an accurate device profile, network segmentation becomes a powerful tool. Applying the right policy to the proper device improves the overall security posture of the HDO. By tracking the physical location, it becomes easier for Biomed teams to find the specific device they are looking for, especially those that are lost or missing. These insights support key aspects of optimizing your incident response efforts, including impact assessments, scoping, and forensics for commercial networks.
Edge by Claroty: Powered with patent-pending technology, Edge was created by their in-house innovation team to tackle evolving cybersecurity needs and challenges across industrial sectors globally. The in-depth XIoT asset, risk, and vulnerability details Edge provides is foundational to all other phases of your commercial cybersecurity maturity journey. The speed and ease with which Edge operates makes it suitable to support a range of multidisciplinary use cases: from incident response, to audits, to M&A due-diligence. Since Edge leverages your existing infrastructure and is safe and compatible with all environments, you won’t need to purchase hardware or make changes to utilize it. Five-to-ten minutes is the average amount of time it takes to deploy, run, and gain full visibility into all assets, risks, and vulnerabilities in your environment with Edge. Claroty Edge enables you to gain complete, near-instant visibility into all managed and unmanaged assets within your operational environment’s XIoT. This establishes a strong foundation for effective commercial cybersecurity and the ability to support a broad range of related capabilities such as risk management, audit and compliance reporting, M&A due diligence, and incident response.
Claroty Secure Remote Access (SRA): Unlike traditional remote access solutions—most of which are designed for IT networks—Claroty SRA is purpose-built for the specific operational, administrative, and security needs of commercial networks. SRA removes the complexity and administrative barriers to effective, efficient remote access to commercial environments for both internal and third-party users. Remote access is the most commonly exploited attack vector for commercial environments. SRA eliminates this with a secure architecture and granular access controls. All SRA user sessions enable live, over-the-shoulder monitoring, live disconnects if needed, and full-length recordings to support audit requests and investigations. SRA’s purpose-built user experience makes connecting, troubleshooting, and repairing assets fast and easy, no matter where assets or users are located. No jump servers here. Whether an internal engineer or third-party vendor, SRA enables all approved users to gain access quickly and painlessly through an intuitive interface that mimics their on-premise workstation. SRA also offers highly secure, controlled, safe access no matter where users, facilities, or assets are located. SRA integrates Claroty Continuous Threat Detection (CTD) to enable you to detect, investigate, and respond to cybersecurity incidents as they happen. CTD triggers an alert if a user engages in unauthorized activity, such as trying to service assets outside predetermined maintenance windows. From the alert, an administrator can go directly into the SRA session and monitor or disconnect.
