Products and Services
The Claroty Platform comprises Claroty’s Continuous Threat Detection (CTD), Secure Remote Access (SRA), and Enterprise Management Console (EMC) systems. It is a single, agentless solution that integrates with existing IT security infrastructure, providing the industry’s broadest range of OT security controls across four areas: visibility, threat detection, vulnerability management, and triage & mitigation.
- Continuous Threat Detection: CTD provides complete visibility for OT environments by extending IT controls to cover asset management, network segmentation, threat and anomaly detection as well as vulnerability management.
- Secure Remote Access: SRA complements CTD by helping globally distributed facilities to manage administrator and support staff access to OT environments with simple, OT-centric workflows and comprehensive monitoring and auditing.
- Enterprise Management Console: EMC is a management interface that offers a consolidated view of traffic, assets and activities that also provides SOC teams with enterprise visibility, actionable alerts and appropriate context to investigate and resolve threats in ICS systems.

The requirements from the client was that they wanted to monitor their Internet Of Things (IoT) resources, a common security platform for all their clientele. The primary requirement for implementation of a thorough system of methods to assess the security concerns across all the hierarchy levels. CTD helped us achieve this for our client. It provided an extremely world-class level of security measures at a very granular level with increased visibility for the network assets and groups of networks.”
