Claroty released the Claroty Edge, a new addition to The Claroty Platform that delivers 100% visibility into industrial systems within minutes.

Cybersecurity firm Dragos recently released its annual Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity Year in Review Report for 2020, which shows that threats targeting ICS and OT infrastructure tripled last year. The 703 identified vulnerabilities were underscored by the company’s findings that roughly 90 percent of its clients had little to no visibility into their ICS environments beyond the IT/OT network boundary.

During a recorded presentation from  embedded world 2021, Rich and Brandon are joined by Technology Editor Curt Schwaderer, who doubles as Vice President of Engineering at intelligence and security provider Yaana Technologies. The three discuss how the tech industry in particular and connected organizations in general have transitioned from protecting devices from attacks to accepting they will be hacked and mitigating losses to modern threat intelligence and modeling strategies. They then look at this evolution through the lens of employees, who are handling and working with sensitive information and IP, working from home.

The Open Platform Communications (OPC) network protocol is the middleman of operational technology (OT) networks, ensuring operability between industrial control systems (ICS) and proprietary devices, such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) responsible for the correct operation of field devices. Having standardized communication protocols such as OPC and its specifications (OPC DA, AE, HDA, XML DA, DX, and OPC UA) guarantees that management and oversight of devices and processes can happen from a centralized server.

Claroty announced the release of enhancements to its Claroty Platform, offering an OT security solution with remote incident management.

Claroty released a new research showing 53% of U.S. industrial enterprises have experienced an increase in cybersecurity threats since the beginning of the ongoing pandemic.

Claroty released its inaugural Biannual ICS Risk & Vulnerability Report. Per the report, over 70% of industrial control system (ICS) vulnerabilities disclosed can be exploited remotely.
