Claroty to Provide Original Research and Best Practices to OT-ISAC and Other GRF Affiliated Communities
New York, New York – March 17, 2020 – Claroty, the global leader in industrial cybersecurity, today announced that it has partnered with Global Resilience Foundation (GRF) to provide its members access to original threat research, best practices, and strategic content to help guide them as they converge their information technology (IT) security and operational technology (OT) security strategies. Claroty will share security information with Operational Technology Information Sharing and Analysis Center (OT-ISAC), and other GRF affiliated ISACs leveraging operational technology.
"We are pleased to work with Claroty, our first OT focused security partner, to help advance security for critical infrastructure sharing communities," said Mark Orsi, President of GRF. "Our members are very aware of how important it is to secure their OT environments, and how the increasing connectivity between IT and OT systems translates to greater threats to physical processes and systems."
GRF is a hub for sharing communities to protect industries and critical infrastructure through operational cross-sector sharing of cyber threat information and physical security risks. GRF offers member communities numerous benefits, including discounts on vendor tools and training, along with access to GRF's automated, cross-industry, multidirectional data sharing program allowing for the real-time distribution and consumption of threat information.
Claroty improves the availability, safety, and reliability of OT assets and networks within industrial enterprises and critical infrastructure. The Claroty Platform provides comprehensive OT asset and network visibility, segmentation, vulnerability management, threat detection, risk assessment, and Secure Remote Access capabilities (SRA) —all within a single, agentless solution. Unique to Claroty, SRA provides a single, secure, and clientless interface through which all external users connect prior to performing software upgrades, periodic maintenance, and other support activities on assets within OT networks. This is all enriched by the company's award-winning OT security research department.
"Information sharing is a critical tool for empowering OT cyber defenders, and partnerships like ours with the Global Resilience Foundation are a trusted, collaborative, and efficient way to help organizations get the guidance they need to better secure their OT environments," said Dave Weinstein, Chief Security Officer at Claroty. "Claroty possesses a privileged perspective of the OT threat landscape, and we are very much looking forward to sharing it with GRF and its members across multiple sectors to bolster their collective cybersecurity for both OT and IT infrastructure."
