Leidos Partners with Claroty for Passive Monitoring of Cyber Threats to Industrial Control Systems Networks
December 13 2017 - 10:00AM
Leidos (NYSE:LDOS), a FORTUNE 500® science, information technology,
and engineering company and Claroty, an innovator in operational
technology (OT) network protection, announced today that Leidos has
partnered with Claroty to provide passive monitoring capabilities
to its Industrial Defender Automation Systems Manager® (ASM)
solution for industrial control systems (ICS) networks. Leidos
customers will immediately gain enhanced cybersecurity for
industrial and critical infrastructure networks by integrating the
Claroty Platform for continuous threat monitoring, detection and
response. The offering will be available through resale by Leidos
to both current and future Leidos Industrial Defender ASM®
customers.
The Claroty Platform is an award-winning suite of integrated
products specifically designed for OT or ICS environments. It
provides comprehensive protection, detection and response
capabilities – yielding unmatched cyber risk management for OT or
ICS networks. The platform proactively protects and continuously
monitors ICS networks in a passive manner for cyber threats. This
approach ensures no interruption to critically important industrial
processes. With secure remote access, asset owners can employ
policies to control remote employee and third-party access to
critical systems, and record the sessions. Continuous threat
detection creates a detailed inventory of industrial network
assets, identifies misconfigurations, monitors traffic between
assets, and finds anomalies that may indicate the presence of a
malicious actor. Context-rich alerts provide plant and security
personnel with actionable insights for efficient investigation,
response, and recovery.
Leidos’ Industrial Defender ASM solution addresses the
overlapping requirements of cybersecurity, compliance, and change
management for ICS. Industrial Defender ASM is the industry
standard for maintaining availability and reliability of critical
infrastructure amid escalating cyber threats, increasing regulatory
burdens, and accelerating ICS management challenges. “Leidos has
long helped customers gain better visibility into their industrial
networks and control their extensive base of installed assets and
manage vulnerabilities,” said Bob Meindl, President of Leidos
Cyber, Inc. “Claroty is recognized as a market leader in their
segment with deployments across six continents and nine industry
verticals. Partnering with Claroty is a logical step as we strive
to help our customers better manage and secure these critical
networks.” “I have said in the past that nothing will deter us from
our mission of bringing rapid and long overdue change to the
cybersecurity of industrial control networks,” said Amir
Zilberstein, Chief Executive Officer of Claroty. “In addition to
direct activity, we have employed a strategy of working with key
partners around the globe to accomplish this mission. Working with
Leidos is the latest demonstration of our partner-focused mindset
and another great step forward for ICS security. Not only does the
relationship mean that existing Leidos customers will be better
protected – it opens new avenues to helping customers across the
globe.”
