We believe that our mission-driven approach has positioned us to offer our customers and partners solutions that make a true impact on their business and are built on a vision that they trust us to execute."
Claroty believes the recognition and its scores reflect the core features of its platform, which comprise Asset Inventory, Exposure Management, and Network Protection.
Core platform details
For Asset Inventory, Claroty claims to use a broad range of CPS protocol coverage to provide a detailed, centralised inventory of all assets in an environment. The solution's discovery methods aim to create comprehensive asset profiles tailored for visibility and capable of identifying asset changes across operational environments.
In terms of Exposure Management, Claroty describes its approach as beyond traditional vulnerability management, focusing on a dynamic method that enables organisations to identify, assess, and prioritise risks. The platform includes contextual intelligence to support risk reduction and prioritisation by outlining business impact for more informed decision-making by security teams.
The third area, Network Protection, is based on a zone-focused model intended to simplify monitoring, refining, and enforcement of communication policies through existing security infrastructure. Claroty suggests that these network protection capabilities underpin Zero Trust approaches within industrial cybersecurity postures.
Industry landscape
Within Forrester's assessment, the importance of detailed asset visibility and systematic vulnerability management is underlined as critical for industries managing interconnected operational technology and IoT networks. Claroty's direction towards asset-targeted visibility and segment-based network policies has been marked out as aligning with the evolving needs of these sectors.
