Claroty adds five partners to microsegmentation alliance

Claroty has added five companies to its Claroty Technology Alliances Program: Akamai, ColourTokens, Corsha, Elisity and Zero Networks.

The expansion brings microsegmentation integrations to the Claroty platform for organisations managing operational technology and other cyber-physical systems. The additions target customers in mission-critical environments, including critical infrastructure, where operators are seeking tighter controls on how devices and systems communicate.

Microsegmentation has become a growing focus for security teams in Australia and New Zealand as attacks increasingly target the junction between information technology and operational technology. Gartner said demand in cyber-physical systems environments has been "driven by the growing need to ensure production and mission-critical continuity of operations, where human safety and operational resilience are paramount".

The new partners are intended to work alongside Claroty's asset discovery, asset intelligence and exposure management tools. The integrations are designed to help customers identify communications between machines and apply more granular controls to reduce the risk of an incident spreading across networks.

Partner push

The five partners each bring a different approach to segmentation and identity-based access controls.

Akamai positioned the tie-up around the need to contain lateral movement across mixed IT and OT environments. "As cyber threats increasingly target the convergence of IT and OT, organisations can no longer afford blind spots across their mission-critical environments. Our collaboration with Claroty transforms visibility into protection with the ability to proactively contain breaches and stop lateral movement, giving security teams the ability to reduce risk, maintain operational continuity, and meet the most stringent compliance requirements," said Domingo Tellez, Vice President of Global Sales, Enterprise Security at Akamai.

ColourTokens emphasised using asset context and threat signals to guide enforcement. "True Zero Trust in OT and IoT environments requires risk-intelligent enforcement. Through our deep integration with Claroty xDome, ColourTokens Xshield ingests rich asset context and pairs it with traffic visibility and real-time threat signals from CISA and MITRE. The result is the industry's first risk-weighted microsegmentation strategy, allowing organisations to pinpoint and neutralise their highest-exposure vulnerabilities fastest, well before operations are impacted," said Sunil Muralidhar, Vice President of Customer Experience and Partnership at ColourTokens.

Corsha highlighted machine identity and trusted communications between connected systems. "As organisations connect more operational systems, data, automation, and AI, microsegmentation becomes increasingly important to maintaining both security and resilience. We're excited to work with Claroty by integrating Corsha's industrial identity security and access to verify machine-to-machine communications and enforce trusted connections. Together, we're helping organisations modernise with confidence while blocking lateral movement across critical infrastructure," said Anusha Iyer, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Corsha.

Elisity pointed to older assets that cannot easily be patched or protected by endpoint software. "Protecting vulnerable, unpatchable assets without disrupting operations has frustrated OT and healthcare security teams for years. Together, Claroty and Elisity close that gap: Claroty X-Dome's rich asset and risk intelligence flows into Elisity IdentityGraph, where it drives identity-based, least-privilege microsegmentation. And because the integration is bi-directional, every activated policy is reported back to Claroty as a compensating control - giving teams provable, closed-loop evidence that an exposure is mitigated even when the device can't be patched," said James Winebrenner, Chief Executive Officer at Elisity.

Zero Networks tied the move to the difficulty of containing attackers once they gain an internal foothold. "Organisations cannot afford a security strategy that assumes prevention alone is enough. Our 2026 Lateral Movement Exposure Report found that 80% of enterprise servers are reachable from anywhere inside the network, creating conditions where attackers can quickly move across critical systems and expand the blast radius of a breach. By combining Claroty's visibility with Zero Networks' identity-driven microsegmentation, organisations can contain threats before they spread and strengthen the operational resilience required to keep critical services running," said Benny Lakunishok, Chief Executive Officer at Zero Networks.

Operational focus

Grant Geyer, Chief Strategy Officer at Claroty, said the company sees segmentation as a core control for asset-intensive sectors. "By working with some of the most innovative microsegmentation providers, a CPS protection program built by Claroty delivers true operational resilience and the ability to contain the impact of a cyber attack," he said.

He added that Claroty expects the control to become more important as industrial organisations seek to limit the effect of attacks across connected environments. "In a post-Mythos world, segmentation will become one of the critical controls in asset-intensive organisations to mitigate entire classes of risk and ensure operations remain uninterrupted. This latest cohort of Claroty alliances ensures that CPS-aware segmentation is informed by precise information of the necessary machine-to-machine communications to enable the business while strictly enforcing security requirements," Geyer said.

The technology alliance program is part of Claroty's broader ecosystem strategy, which centres on linking third-party tools with its software for visibility, risk assessment and policy enforcement across cyber-physical systems. The latest additions reflect how vendors are increasingly combining asset intelligence with network controls as operators look for ways to protect industrial, healthcare and other critical environments without taking systems offline.
