Safeguarding cyber-physical systems for a smart future

This sponsored feature outlines how increasingly interconnected cyber-physical systems (CPS) and the XIoT expand risk across OT and IT, and presents a Claroty-backed buyer’s checklist for safely selecting CPS security solutions. It emphasizes the need for accurate asset inventories, passive telemetry collection, broad industrial protocol support, AI-driven threat analysis via a central server, and seamless integration with existing security stacks, while noting regulatory pressures and the incompatibility of traditional IT tools in industrial environments. The piece frames essential (table-stakes), key, and business criteria to guide procurement without introducing new failure points.
