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.
