CPS (cyber-physical systems) security protects systems that interact with physical processes, such as medical devices, industrial control systems, and building automation. A breach can impact safety, uptime, and operations, making CPS environments a high-priority target for attackers.
Key takeaways:
Visibility without control leaves cyber-physical system (CPS) environments exposed. Security teams can identify CPS assets and risks, but without enforcement, attackers can still move laterally across IT and OT environments.
Stop lateral movement in cyber-physical systems. Claroty provides deep CPS visibility while Akamai Guardicore Segmentation enforces Zero Trust policies to restrict unnecessary communication and reduce blast radius.
Protect unpatchable and mission-critical devices. Segment medical devices, industrial systems, and other CPS assets without installing agents or disrupting operations, even when vulnerabilities cannot be remediated immediately.
Turn CPS intelligence into actionable protection. Use Claroty’s asset context, risk insights, and protocol awareness to drive precise segmentation policies that align with how systems actually operate.
- Contain threats without impacting safety or uptime. Enforce segmentation controls that isolate high-risk assets and prevent propagation while maintaining the reliability and continuity CPS environments require.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Visibility helps you identify assets and risks, but it does not stop attacks. Without enforcement controls, attackers can still move laterally between systems. Effective CPS security requires both visibility and the ability to restrict and control communication.
OT segmentation limits communication between devices and IT systems to only what is necessary. By enforcing least-privilege access at the network level, it reduces attack paths and prevents threats from spreading across CPS environments.
Claroty provides deep visibility into CPS assets, protocols, and risks while Akamai Guardicore Segmentation enforces Zero Trust policies to control communication. Together, they reduce exposure and help contain threats in real time.
Yes. The solution leverages agentless segmentation, allowing you to protect legacy, unmanaged, or sensitive CPS devices without the need to install software or disrupt operations.
Microsegmentation restricts communication between systems based on defined policies. If an attacker compromises one system, segmentation prevents them from accessing other systems, limiting the blast radius of an attack.
No. Policies are based on observed communication patterns and can be tested before enforcement. This ensures that only unnecessary or risky traffic is blocked, preserving normal operations and system reliability.
Many frameworks require segmentation or isolation of critical systems. This solution provides enforceable controls and visibility that help organizations meet requirements for standards such as NIST, IEC 62443, and healthcare or critical infrastructure regulations.
