Claroty earns AWS recognition for OT security in manufacturing

Claroty has obtained Amazon Web Services (AWS) Manufacturing and Industrial Competency for operational technology (OT) security, reflecting its focus on providing OT cybersecurity tailored for the manufacturing sector.

The achievement comes as manufacturing industries in Australia and worldwide increase their adoption of digital systems, leaving them exposed to heightened operational and cyber risks. Claroty's xDome platform, built on AWS architecture, supports manufacturers as they look to extend traditional IT security controls into complex OT environments.

Digital risk in manufacturing

The increased use of cloud services and the migration of critical manufacturing workloads to digital platforms have made sectors such as automotive and pharmaceuticals more susceptible to cyber threats. In response, companies are prioritising the protection of essential assets to maintain the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of their data and processes.

Claroty highlights that xDome on AWS adopts a multifaceted strategy integrating IT tools and workflows with cyber-physical systems (CPS). The platform aims to provide visibility across all CPS within the OT environment and to extend security governance seamlessly from IT to OT operations.

Company and customer perspectives

Achieving AWS Manufacturing and Industrial Competency status is a testament to Claroty's commitment to providing customers with highly scalable, specialised solutions that meet the complex needs of the digital transformation occurring across manufacturing sites. By combining the power of AWS with xDome, organisations can unify their security governance–extending IT into OT – and drive all use cases towards cyber and operational resilience.

This was stated by Grant Geyer, Chief Strategy Officer at Claroty, who reinforced the company's intent to address the evolving risks in manufacturing by bridging the gap between IT and OT security governance.

Customer feedback has pointed to the platform's practical benefits in deployment and security response. David Cox, Chief Information Security Officer at Britvic, commented, "The Claroty xDome platform was extremely easy to set up, due to its scalable architecture on AWS. With xDome, we managed to install the server and start getting data within two hours, and the data we got allowed us to act quickly on issues that we hadn't already noticed in our environment."

Industry collaboration and validation

The AWS Competency programme recognises partners which employ AWS technology to solve industry-specific and use-case-focused challenges. Partners achieving this status are seen as helping customers achieve their operational objectives while maximising value from AWS solutions.

Karen Langona, Global Partner Sales Director, Automotive and Manufacturing at AWS, said, "Over the past few years, we've seen firsthand how critical OT and CPS security has become to our customers' digital transformation journeys. Whether migrating SCADA workloads or implementing Smart Manufacturing solutions like AI-powered diagnostics and predictive maintenance, security is foundational. Our strategic collaboration with Claroty stems from their proven leadership in securing industrial environments, and their achievement of the AWS Manufacturing and Industrial Competency further validates their ability to deliver transformative value to customers."

Operational technology in modern industry

With manufacturers adopting technologies such as AI-driven diagnostics and predictive maintenance, the protection of OT and CPS continues to rise up the business agenda. The ability to connect IT and OT infrastructures securely, without increasing risk to critical assets, is now regarded as essential for operational resilience.

Claroty's xDome platform, available through AWS Marketplace, targets this intersection. By providing asset visibility and security controls across OT and IT, it positions itself to assist industrial organisations in addressing emerging security imperatives arising from digital transformation in manufacturing environments.
