About
Claroty is a leading cyber-physical system (CPS) protection platform purpose-built to secure mission-critical infrastructure across industrial, healthcare, commercial, and public sector environments. Recognized as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for CPS Protection Platforms, Claroty delivers the broadest, most integrated solution set available for securing the Extended Internet of Things (XIoT). The platform centers on five core pillars: Asset Inventory, which provides complete visibility into every connected device; Exposure Management, which prioritizes risks based on real business impact rather than individual device vulnerabilities; Network Protection, which delivers ready-to-use segmentation recommendations and anomaly detection; Secure Access, which enables safe remote connectivity for operational technology; and Threat Detection, which continuously monitors for malicious activity across OT, IoT, and BMS environments. Claroty's discovery methods include passive monitoring, safe active queries, project file analysis, and ecosystem enrichment—ensuring comprehensive coverage without disrupting sensitive operations. The platform supports multiple deployment options including Claroty xDome (cloud-based) and Claroty Continuous Threat Detection (CTD) for on-premises environments. Key verticals served include manufacturing, energy, water/wastewater, transportation, healthcare, data centers, retail, and government. Claroty integrates with a broad ecosystem of IT security tools and enables compliance with major regulations. It is trusted by Fortune 500 enterprises and critical infrastructure operators worldwide to achieve cyber and operational resilience.
Key Features
- Asset Inventory: Provides complete visibility into every connected cyber-physical asset across OT, IoT, and BMS environments using multiple discovery methods including passive monitoring, safe active queries, and project file analysis.
- Exposure Management: Shifts security strategy from device-level protection to business-impact-based risk prioritization, helping teams focus on vulnerabilities that could truly disrupt operations.
- Network Protection: Automatically generates ready-to-use network segmentation recommendations and detects unusual activity using deep operational context and industry best practices.
- Secure Access: Enables safe, policy-enforced remote access for internal users and third-party vendors into OT and critical infrastructure environments without exposing the network.
- Continuous Threat Detection: Monitors cyber-physical environments in real time for known and emerging threats, behavioral anomalies, and policy violations to support rapid incident response.
Use Cases
- Industrial manufacturers securing operational technology (OT) networks from cyber threats and achieving compliance with industry regulations like NERC CIP and IEC 62443.
- Healthcare organizations protecting connected medical devices (IoMT) and hospital building systems to ensure patient safety and maintain HIPAA compliance.
- Energy and utility operators gaining full asset inventory and continuous threat monitoring across SCADA and ICS environments to prevent operational disruptions.
- Government and defense agencies securing critical public sector infrastructure including water, transportation, and civilian systems against nation-state and ransomware threats.
- Commercial real estate and data center operators managing cyber risk across building management systems (BMS), HVAC, access control, and other connected facility devices.
Pros
- Gartner-Recognized Leader: Named a Leader for two consecutive years in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for CPS Protection Platforms, demonstrating both execution strength and completeness of vision.
- Broadest CPS Coverage: Supports industrial OT, healthcare IoMT, commercial building systems, and public sector infrastructure under a single unified platform.
- Non-Disruptive Discovery: Multiple discovery methods including passive monitoring and safe queries ensure full asset visibility without interrupting sensitive operational environments.
- Deep Ecosystem Integrations: Integrates with a wide range of IT security tools, SIEMs, and ticketing systems to extend value across existing security stacks.
Cons
- Enterprise Pricing: Claroty is designed for large enterprises and critical infrastructure operators; pricing is not publicly listed and is typically out of reach for smaller organizations.
- Complex Deployment: Deploying and configuring the platform in large, heterogeneous OT environments can require significant time, expertise, and professional services support.
- Steep Learning Curve: The breadth of features and OT-specific context required to fully utilize the platform may demand specialized training for security teams new to CPS environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cyber-physical system (CPS)?
A cyber-physical system (CPS) is any networked device that interacts with the physical world, including industrial control systems, medical devices, building management systems, and IoT devices. Claroty's platform is purpose-built to secure these systems across the Extended Internet of Things (XIoT).
What industries does Claroty serve?
Claroty serves a wide range of industries including manufacturing, energy, water/wastewater, transportation, healthcare, commercial buildings, data centers, retail, and public sector organizations including U.S. federal, state, local, and defense agencies.
What is the difference between Claroty xDome and Claroty CTD?
Claroty xDome is a cloud-based SaaS platform suited for organizations seeking scalable deployment and centralized management. Claroty Continuous Threat Detection (CTD) is an on-premises solution designed for environments with strict data residency or air-gap requirements.
How does Claroty discover assets without disrupting operations?
Claroty uses multiple non-disruptive discovery methods including passive network monitoring, safe active queries, project file analysis, and Claroty Edge for remote sites—ensuring full visibility without sending traffic that could interfere with sensitive OT systems.
Does Claroty integrate with existing security tools?
Yes. Claroty integrates with a broad ecosystem of IT and security tools including SIEMs, firewalls, ticketing systems, and IT asset management platforms, enabling organizations to extend CPS visibility and threat data across their existing security stack.
