Claroty and Corsha integrate OT threat detection with machine identity security for US federal agencies


Cyber-physical systems (CPS) protection company Claroty announced an integration with Corsha, a Machine Identity Provider (mIDP). The collaboration unites Claroty’s Continuous Threat Detection (CTD) with Corsha’s identity and access control, delivering holistic operational technology (OT) security to U.S. government agencies.

Claroty CTD was recently granted Authority to Operate (ATO) at multiple military missile defense sites and a Facility Related Control System (FRCS) for a classified Intelligence Community, validating CTD as a trusted technology partner within the most sensitive federal CPS environments. Corsha mIDP was granted Authority to Operate (ATO) at the U.S. Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (WR-ALC) and is now securely connecting manufacturing robots to data analytics apps at the shop floor edge, further automating sustainment operations.

Federal agencies are experiencing an unprecedented convergence of OT, information technology (IT), building management systems (BMS) and FRCS, driven by mandates for modernization, increased mission effectiveness, and adoption of cloud and remote management capabilities. 

While this enhances operational agility and supports mission continuity, it creates significant new cyber risks, expanding attack surface and exposing mission-critical systems to advanced nation-state adversaries and cybercriminals. Securing critical OT and CPS environments now requires solutions that deliver continuous, real-time visibility across all assets, enforce identity at every connection point, and operationalize resilient Zero Trust controls tailored to the unique demands of federal networks, all at mission speed and scale.

The Corsha Machine Identity Provider (mIDP) integrates directly with Claroty CTD, leveraging Corsha’s continuously authenticated identities and dynamic access control to elevate CTD’s deep asset visibility and continuous threat monitoring, actively securing every machine-to-machine connection with automated mitigation.

“Federal agencies are faced with not just growing threats but also the increased complexity of OT/IT convergence,” said Anusha Iyer, Founder and CEO. “Our strategic integration with Claroty will deliver a unified, Zero Trust–aligned foundation to CPS protection programs that reduces exposure, limits lateral movement, and simplifies compliance for stronger security across the nation’s mission-critical infrastructure.”

The Claroty and Corsha integration empowers security teams to modernize with confidence by enabling Zero Trust for OT through identity-based access enforcement for every machine and connection, moving beyond simple perimeter defense. 

It also enables dynamic segmentation that automatically blocks suspicious traffic and limits lateral movement without requiring complex manual re-architecture. In addition, the integration supports real-time threat prevention by stopping ransomware propagation and credential misuse instantly through machine identity validation at the connection level. It also helps organizations securely modernize operations by enabling cloud migration, AI adoption, and robotics automation while wrapping legacy systems in a layer of modern identity security.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Corsha to bring the most comprehensive OT security solution to the federal government,” said Jen Sovada, General Manager, Public Sector at Claroty. “This pairing helps organizations defend against operational disruption, prevents ransomware and supply chain attacks, and contains vulnerabilities in real time, enabling teams who protect critical infrastructure to achieve true cyber resilience.”

Earlier this month, Claroty partnered with Carahsoft Technology to expand Claroty’s footprint across government agencies to protect mission-critical infrastructure. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Claroty’s Public Sector distributor, making Claroty’s CPS protection platform available to the U.S. Public Sector through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and its National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint contract.
