Claroty, a cyber-physical systems (CPS) protection company, has released proprietary data revealing security risks in mission-critical operational technology (OT) assets due to insecure internet connections and known vulnerabilities. To address this, they launched the Claroty xDome Secure Access, which balances secure control and frictionless access for enhanced productivity and reduced risk. For more information, visit claroty.com.
Based on the meeting notes, the key takeaways are as follows:
– Claroty announced that 13% of the most mission-critical operational technology (OT) assets have an insecure internet connection, and 36% of those contain at least one Known Exploited Vulnerability (KEV), making them easily exploitable entry points for threat actors.
– Claroty introduced its enhanced Claroty xDome Secure Access solution aimed at addressing the risks posed by the increased adoption of remote access technologies in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) environments. The solution is designed to balance frictionless access and secure control, thereby enhancing productivity, reducing complexities and risk, and ensuring compliance across first- and third-party users.
– According to Gartner, there has been a shift from the isolation of CPS technologies to increased connectivity with enterprise systems, necessitating organizations to enable remote access for the operation, maintenance, and updates of these technologies.
– Claroty’s research group, Team82, analyzed a sample of over 125,000 OT assets, revealing that a significant percentage have insecure internet connections and are susceptible to exploitation, highlighting the need for enhanced security measures in CPS environments.
– The new Claroty xDome Secure Access solution integrates foundational security principles such as Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), Privileged Access Management (PAM), and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) to set new standards for resilience and operational excellence in the CPS landscape.
– The solution offers benefits including increased productivity, risk reduction, complexity reduction, and compliance maintenance, achieved through features like seamless access for users, enhanced incident management, simplified administrative tasks, and adherence to key compliance standards.
