Industrial organizations are experiencing exponential growth due to digital transformation fueled by cyber-physical systems (CPS) like manufacturing equipment or medical devices. These systems offer several benefits like real-time data analysis, operational cost reduction, and supply chain optimization — promising a new era of Industry 4.0 and 5.0. However, the rapid adoption of CPS and dependence on connected networks have outpaced organizations' abilities to secure them. This has broadened the attack surface and escalated digital risk, especially as cybercrime becomes more accessible and easily executable.
Increasingly, regulatory bodies are paying attention to industries regarded as critical infrastructure. Emphasizing this, our recent survey of industrial enterprises showed that nearly 75% reported being targeted by ransomware in the last year. As establishments strive to balance innovation and digital risks, cybersecurity controls become an essential part of their journey toward secure digital transformation.
As IT, OT, and cloud environments continue to converge, they enhance the risk, especially given that legacy devices in operational environments are typically incompatible with robust cybersecurity mechanisms. And, as working environments continue to modernize and shift toward remote and third-party engagements, access to operational environments also heightens the potential for direct compromise and IT network spillover events.
As the pre-connectivity manufacturing ecosystem upgrades, organizations need advanced solutions to manage OT-related risks. Visibility and insight into the CPS environment are crucial for effective risk reduction and security process optimization. Existing IT security tools alone may not provide the level of visibility required nor execute the necessary security controls on CPS environments. Traditional security controls, such as patching, often conflict with the operational demands of industrial settings, leading to additional challenges.
Understanding these challenges, we have formed a strategic collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), to ensure the unique security needs of the cyber-physical systems (CPS) in your environment — including OT assets, medical devices, and building automation systems (BAS) — are met in one built-for-CPS platform. This collaboration helps facilitate the balance between the promises of digital transformation and the necessity of effectively managing digital risk.
Claroty xDome Availability on AWS Marketplace
Claroty xDome can be purchased on the AWS marketplace enabling benefits from ease of procurement, consolidated billing, and allowing asset owners to leverage their enterprise AWS commitments. Customers who are addressing cloud migration projects can more quickly and easily approach any issues that may arise and expand their projects to include Claroty xDome solutions for exposure management, threat detection, network protection, and secure access.
Much like AWS, we are obsessed with solving our customers' business challenges and delivering the outcomes they strive to achieve. Implementing the Claroty platform on AWS brings the best of both worlds together — providing customers with unrivaled industry expertise and the specialized knowledge and tools they need to secure their critical operations.
Secure and Manage CPS Security Risk with Claroty xDome & AWS
Claroty's industrial cybersecurity SaaS offerings, xDome, rely on AWS as their cloud backend to provide our customers with highly scalable and reliable protection for their industrial and healthcare networks and devices. Additionally, we integrate with two key AWS Security Services to help bridge the gap between IT and OT security challenges, these include:
Amazon Security Lake: As the only CPS security launch partner of Amazon Security Lake, Claroty xDome provides security logs from ICS, OT, IIoT, edge, and cloud environments, simplifying data management for enterprise-wide threat detection and incident response.
AWS Security Hub: With the direct integration of Claroty xDome to AWS Security Hub, you can push context-rich vulnerabilities and security events in the form of alerts from customers’ assets directly to the Security Operations Center (SOC).
