Claroty, a specialist in the security of cyber-physical systems (CPS), is demonstrating at this year's HANNOVER MESSE how industrial companies can exploit the full potential of digital transformation by using the cloud securely. At the joint stand with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Claroty is presenting the jointly developed framework for protecting communication between users, machines and cloud workloads.

Strategic alliance to protect against cyber risks

Cyber-physical systems such as operational technology (OT), the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and enterprise IoT are increasingly connected to IT networks and the cloud. While this brings enormous productivity gains and cost savings, it also exposes CPS to cyber risks that can impact national security, economic stability, health and the environment. To help companies achieve a secure digital transformation, Claroty and AWS have therefore agreed on a multi-year strategic collaboration. With Claroty's SaaS platform xDome, which is natively built on the AWS architecture, joint customers will be able to enjoy all the benefits of cloud scalability, flexibility and simplicity, as well as customized protection for all cloud-connected CPS assets and networks.

Detailed information about all infrastructure assets

“More and more companies in industry are also turning to the cloud because it offers enormous competitive advantages,” explains Thorsten Eckert, Regional Vice President Sales Central at Claroty. ”However, the transformation of infrastructure from a network-centric to an asset-centric model can only be successful if the associated cyber risks are addressed. Above all, this requires a high level of transparency in one's own infrastructure.” The CPS security platform from Claroty offers security managers detailed and complete information about all infrastructure assets in order to be able to protect them adequately, and includes exposure management, network protection, secure remote access and threat detection. This should effectively reduce CPS risks even in the face of an intensifying threat situation.
