Claroty has been named a Leader and Customer Favourite in Forrester's assessment of operational technology security suppliers. It was also named a Customers' Choice for CPS Protection Platforms by Gartner Peer Insights.

These endorsements place the cyber-physical systems security company among vendors recognised by both industry analysts and platform users.

In its review of the operational technology security market, Forrester gave Claroty its highest possible score in nine criteria. These included vulnerability management, risk modelling and exposure prioritisation, secure access management, reporting, support for IT and OT convergence and SOC integration, OT-safe deployment and operational resilience, innovation, adoption, and pricing flexibility and transparency.

Forrester also said the company was well suited to customers seeking to secure OT environments across different sectors. In a separate comment tied to the Customer Favourite ranking, it said customers valued the company's close engagement and partnership approach.

Operational technology security has drawn greater attention as industrial systems, utilities, transport networks, and other connected infrastructure face a wider range of cyber risks. The market for cyber-physical systems protection has grown alongside concern over ransomware, espionage, and geopolitical threats affecting systems that run physical operations.

Customer ratings

Gartner Peer Insights gave Claroty an overall rating of 4.9 out of 5. According to the company, the score was based on 149 reviews and was the highest number of customer reviews among vendors assessed in the category.

Its Willingness to Recommend score was 97%. The platform also received ratings of 4.9 for Product Capabilities and Support Experience, and 4.8 for Sales Experience and Deployment Experience.

Gartner Peer Insights said in its report: "As cyber-physical systems become more connected, organizations are investing in CPS protection platforms to safeguard against geopolitical, espionage and ransomware attacks. This note guides cybersecurity leaders to learn from ratings and reviews shared by their peers on Gartner Peer Insights."

Claroty linked the recognition to its broader product development efforts, including what it described as the first OT-native AI security agent. It also pointed to work aimed at helping customers adopt a more structured approach to operational technology security programmes.

Market focus

Claroty has positioned itself around protecting mission-critical infrastructure, focusing on environments where industrial and operational systems intersect with cybersecurity requirements. That includes sectors where outages or compromises can have direct physical and commercial consequences.

The company's standing in the Forrester assessment appeared to reflect both technical breadth and customer relationships. The analyst report highlighted not only product features and strategy, but also the company's fit across industries and how customers viewed its engagement model.

Yaniv Vardi, chief executive officer of Claroty, commented on the Forrester ranking: "We're incredibly proud to be named both a Leader and a Customer Favourite following Forrester's rigorous evaluation of the OT security market.

"We believe this provides strong validation of our approach to securing the world's mission-critical infrastructure and that our latest innovations, including the first OT-native AI security agent and helping customers take a programmatic approach to operationalising OT security, are propelling the entire industry forward."

On the Gartner Peer Insights recognition, Vardi added: "We are deeply honored to receive this hard-earned recognition, which we believe is a testament to the trust our customers place in Claroty and the dedication of our team to building solutions that drive real business outcomes.

"In our opinion, there is no stronger validation that our commitment to securing the world's mission-critical infrastructure has a real, meaningful impact than hearing it directly from the customers we serve. Thank you to our dedicated customers for their ongoing collaboration and insights that drive us to continually improve and evolve every day."
