Claroty forms technical alliance with Check Point® Software Technologies

Operational technology security company Claroty recently announced a new partnership with cybersecurity solutions provider Check Point® Software Technologies. The technical alliance provides enterprises and critical infrastructure operators with real-time cybersecurity and visibility.

“We are excited to bring Claroty to our customers as part of Check Point’s IoT Protect Discovery program,” Russ Schafer, Head of Product Marketing at Check Point, said in a press release. “The combination of Claroty’s Continuous Threat Detection (CTD) and Check Point’s IoT Protect threat prevention solution provides our industrial customers the visibility, security, and automation to protect networks from emerging IoT threats.”

Check Point recently released a new Internet of Things security solution, which prevents IoT cyber attacks by adapting protections to any IoT or OT device. By integrating Check Point’s IoT Protect solution with Claroty’s continuous threat detection capabilities, organizations can  protect OT and industrial control system networks.

Through the technical alliance, customers will be able to access an integrated end-to-end security solution that supports the discovery and classification of OT devices in a variety of verticals. Aggregated security alerts from The Claroty Platform can now be sent to Check Point’s advanced IoT Protect Controller Manager, which sets the security policy that is enforced through Check Point’s Quantum Security Gateways™. By unifying security reporting organizations will be able to see any threats to an application, process or network, providing a complete view across the enterprise and control networks.

“At Claroty, we pride ourselves on being able to integrate with the top platform providers to ensure our customers are leveraging the highest levels of security from these tools,” Emanuel Salmona, VP of Global Partnerships at Claroty, said in the release. “As Check Point is one of the most well-established firewall providers, with significant install base brand awareness and customer reach, this partnership opens up an important route to market and we are excited for the opportunity to grow our technology offerings together.”
