Claroty introduces its new cybersecurity platform for. xDome strengthens resilience, enables modernization and improves the reliability of cyber-physical systems and provides more protection in the enhanced Internet of Things (XIoT).
Claroty, specialist for the security of cyber-physical systems (CPS) in industry, healthcare facilities and companies, is now bringing companies a significant increase in resilience in the operational and cyber areas with its new cloud-based cyber security platform xDome. An industry first, Claroty xDome offers the simplicity and scalability of SaaS without compromising the breadth and depth of visibility, protection and monitoring of systems. This is critical to the overall security process, especially given the rapid spread of CPS in the enhanced Internet of Things (XIoT).
Protect old and new systems across the board
According to Gartner, “Over time, the technologies underlying critical infrastructure have become increasingly digitized and interconnected, either with enterprise IT systems and/or with each other, giving rise to cyber-physical systems. Critical infrastructure consists of both legacy infrastructure (installed years ago without built-in safeguards) and new equipment, which also have numerous vulnerabilities. The result is a significant increase in the attack surface for hackers and malicious actors of all kinds, and the CPS that make up the bulk of this critical infrastructure are increasingly under attack.” To better secure cyber-physical systems, according to Gartner, “80 percent of organizations that operate critical infrastructures to abandon their existing siled security solution providers by 2024 to overcome cyber-physical and IT risks through the deployment of hyper-converged solutions.”
Claroty's cybersecurity platform xDome addresses these needs by supporting the entire CPS security processes for any organization - regardless of the type of cyber-physical systems underlying their processes, their current stage of maturity or their network architecture. This includes:
- Comprehensive and deep asset discovery capabilities. A complete XIoT inventory is the foundation for CPS security. Achieving this requires a combination of multiple inventory detection methods tailored to the unique needs of each environment. While most other SaaS solutions rely solely on passive monitoring, xDome also offers other methods such as active polling without hardware to be rolled out locally. In this way, customers receive an effective inventory while benefiting from the simplicity and scalability of a SaaS solution.
- Support for vulnerability and risk management through award-winning research. Vulnerabilities are a key element of resiliency and are common in industrial environments. The xDome cybersecurity platform closes these gaps by correlating each asset with insights from Claroty's research department (Team82) and known vulnerabilities. Based on this, individual risk assessments are created and specific recommendations are made. This allows customers to prioritize their most pressing risks and mitigate them accordingly.
- Network segmentation controls that protect against escalating risk. Effective segmentation is essential to mitigating cyber and operational risks. However, their implementation can be difficult and even dangerous due to the complexity, vulnerability and criticality of CPS. xDome overcomes this challenge by clearly defining segmentation policies that can be automatically and securely enforced in the existing infrastructure.
- Detection and Response Capabilities to combat known and unknown threats. Because no environment is immune to threats, xDome enables users to quickly detect and remediate attack vectors, identify and respond to early indicators of known and unknown threats, and integrate these capabilities into existing SOC tools and workflows.
"While asset discovery is a necessity and the foundation of security strategy, it doesn't deliver real value on its own," said Yaniv Vardi, CEO of Claroty. “By augmenting inventory intelligence with vulnerability and risk management, organizations are in a much better position to go from just responding to cyber threats and incidents that already exist on the network, to proactively preventing them from occurring in the first place. This realignment is critical to achieving operational and cyber resilience. This is exactly where the xDome cybersecurity platform supports our customers, because prevention is always better than cure.”
