Corsha, a provider of industrial identity security solutions, announced on Wednesday Folio, a new module on the Corsha Industrial Identity Security Platform that automatically creates and updates operational maps and documentation showing how industrial systems are connected and communicating. Built on live network and access data, Folio gives teams a system of record for how their OT systems are running today, not just how they were designed. Security and operations teams can use this as-running view to spot risk and drift, prepare for incidents, and speed up compliance.
Keeping up-to-date as-running documentation of an industrial network is tedious, manual work. More often than not, OT documentation doesn’t exist, or the environment has drifted so far it’s of little use to OT teams. Manual assessments take weeks of labor across a myriad of tools, and the compliance artifacts they produce are often still incomplete and inaccurate.
Folio uses the power of Corsha Gatekeepers to capture the identities, connections, and data flows on the OT network, answering what is communicating, when, why, and how. Teams can generate derived hardware lists, connection maps true to the moment, and Microsoft Visio data flow diagrams. That documentation is ready to share across OT, security, and network teams and is designed for risk management and compliance frameworks, including IEC 62443, NERC CIP, and Zero Trust.
Unlike previous manual approaches, Folio brings together real-time connections, data flows, machine identity, and access intelligence. Rather than building more data-drowning dashboards, Folio produces actionable artifacts that teams can use to assess risk, make real-time decisions, and modernize with confidence.
“Industrial enterprises can’t modernize safely when their operational picture no longer reflects how their operations actually run,” said Anusha Iyer, founder and CEO of Corsha. “Folio builds on the identity intelligence at the heart of our platform to give security and operational leaders an accurate, current understanding of every machine and every connection, and its purpose in their environment. That means faster recovery when incidents happen, compliance that keeps pace with change, and a clear path to adopting new technologies like robotics and physical AI. We are excited about this use of AI and ML in the Corsha platform to automate the tedious but critical work of day-to-day operations.”
Folio supports three core use cases. For day-to-day operations, it helps OT operators who assess risk, make daily decisions, and respond to incidents by removing the need to manually maintain system and network documentation. For continuous compliance, it helps OT leaders clear roadblocks to innovation, such as Authority to Operate (ATO), Zero Trust, and NERC CIP requirements, by delivering updated system, connection, and architecture documentation in minutes. For accelerated technology adoption, it enables OT leaders and architects bringing in advanced robotics, physical AI, and predictive analytics to assess the impact of new industrial capabilities on brownfield environments and speed production deployment.
Folio uses the Corsha Industrial Identity Security Platform and its Gatekeepers to deliver real-time visibility into the most current, as-running view of what is on the OT network. It maps connections and data flows, not just inventory, so teams can answer the what, where, when, and why questions needed to secure and modernize their operations. Building on the Corsha Platform’s identity-based foundation, it monitors and tracks changes that IP addresses alone cannot reveal, keeping assessments accurate as operations evolve.
Teams can also design boundaries, zones, and machine groups on a live Connection Canvas that shows data flows, connections, and the segmentation and policies that are live and enforced. Folio is native to IEC 62443, using the industry-standard language from the Connection Canvas through to exported assessment artifacts. It also exports accurate operating diagrams to Microsoft Visio, so teams can collaborate in the most common OT design format.
With the new Corsha Folio module, organizations can cut the time spent on compliance activities by orders of magnitude, reduce time to recover from security incidents and errors, prevent misconfigurations and downtime with always up-to-date system specifications, and eliminate the cost of manually maintaining operations documentation.
