What Is Claroty?

Claroty is a cybersecurity platform for connected physical systems: the equipment, devices, and control systems that run factories, hospitals, utilities, buildings, transport networks, and other critical operations. Its main purpose is to help organizations discover these devices, understand their cyber risk, detect threats, and protect them without disrupting the physical operation they support. It is used most by organizations with large, complex, or safety-critical environments where cyber incidents can affect physical operations, people, products, or essential services.

The company secures cyber-physical systems (CPS) and the Extended Internet of Things (XIoT), covering industrial operational technology (OT), healthcare's Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), and enterprise IoT It's available in three deployment modes: xDome (cloud-based SaaS), CTD (on-premises monitoring), and Edge (a lightweight tool for network blind spots).

What Is Claroty Best For?

One of the standout features of Claroty is its passive Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engine. Traditional cybersecurity tools are built for standard IT networks. They work by actively scanning devices, sending signals to each one to see how it responds. If you run that kind of active scan on sensitive factory hardware or medical machinery, it can crash the equipment, halting production or endangering lives. Claroty operates the whole process passively. It safely listens to the background network traffic and can natively read and translate over 450 proprietary industrial and medical languages.

How Much Does Claroty Cost?

Claroty pricing is estimated to start at a minimum of $150,000/year for entry-level deployments, scaling up to $1,200,000+ for enterprise-wide contracts, according to industry benchmarks.

Beyond the base subscription, organizations should also budget for implementation and rollout costs:

• Onboarding And Implementation: $25,000–$100,000 for a limited deployment, up to $100,000–$250,000+ for a complex enterprise environment
• Network Integration: $15,000–$75,000 for several standard integrations, up to $75,000–$150,000+ for complex environments requiring firewalls, SIEM, or SOAR connections
• Multi-Site Or Enterprise Rollout: $100,000–$500,000+ one time, covering site surveys, regional planning, and central SOC integration
• Staff And Administrator Training: $10,000–$40,000 for a focused program, up to $40,000–$75,000+ for multiple regions or role groups
• Ongoing Management: $75,000–$250,000+ per year in internal labor, for alert review, exposure-score analysis, and compliance reporting

Claroty Integrations

The software integrates with major security and IT infrastructure platforms, including:

• Microsoft Sentinel
• Splunk Enterprise
• ServiceNow
• IBM Maximo Applications Suite
• Cisco ISE
• CrowdStrike Product Suite

How Does Claroty Work?

Here's how you can access the platform and start using its features:

• Log in to your xDome account (the platform's cloud-based management console), no on-premises server is required for the SaaS deployment
• Deploy Claroty Edge sensors at your sites, virtual or hardware, depending on network architecture
• Enable passive monitoring, sensors start collecting network traffic immediately without disrupting operations
• Run project file analysis, parsing engineering workstation configuration files for offline asset discovery
• Enable Safe Queries on segments where richer, active data is needed
• Review the asset inventory, validating, enriching, and baselining your environment
• Configure network protection policies and threat detection based on the assets discovered
• Monitor alerts and vulnerabilities through the dashboard, or export data to your existing SIEM or CMMS

Who Is Claroty For?

The vendor serves organizations across a range of industries and sectors, including:

• Automotive
• Food and beverage,
• Pharma and biotech
• Healthcare
• Retail and hospitality
• Data centers

Claroty Use Cases

Based on our analysis of Claroty features, capabilities, and market positioning, we have identified key scenarios where this software could be a strong fit:

Risk Assessment During A Merger Or Acquisition

When a company acquires a factory, hospital, utility, or other operational site, the buyer needs to understand the cybersecurity condition of the environment before fully integrating it. The acquired organization may have undocumented devices, unsupported systems, outdated software, exposed services, or weak security controls. Claroty can scan and profile the acquired CPS environment, allowing the buyer to identify assets and prioritize exposures before connecting the new site to its wider corporate network. This helps security and integration teams estimate remediation work, identify high-risk systems, and reduce the chance that the acquired environment introduces threats into the parent organization.

Security Teams Containing Ransomware Without Halting Production

The software can help organizations respond to ransomware attacks affecting corporate IT systems and connected operational environments. When ransomware reaches production systems, it can halt manufacturing, interrupt essential services, create safety concerns, and lead to lengthy recovery efforts. Claroty helps security teams identify the CPS assets most exposed to attack, monitor suspicious behavior, restrict risky communications, and control remote access. During an incident, teams can use the platform’s asset and network context to determine which systems may be affected and apply security controls without unnecessarily disrupting critical operations.

Manufacturing Plants Deciding Which Vulnerability To Patch First

A manufacturing plant may contain hundreds or thousands of devices with different levels of importance. Some may have known CVEs, missing patches, outdated operating systems, open ports, or insecure configurations. However, the security team cannot always patch every device immediately because taking a controller or production workstation offline could interrupt manufacturing. Claroty helps the team identify and prioritize weaknesses according to exploitability, asset importance, and potential operational impact. Instead of treating every vulnerability equally, the team can focus first on exposures that present the greatest risk to production, safety, or business continuity.

Hospitals Investigating Threats Without Disrupting Patient Care

A hospital needs to investigate suspicious activity without accidentally disrupting equipment supporting patient care. For example, security staff may need to examine unusual communication from a medical device while ensuring that the device remains available to clinicians. Claroty can provide visibility into connected medical and facility systems, contextualize alerts, and help security teams distinguish potentially serious threats from normal operational activity. This allows the hospital to investigate incidents and plan remediation with a better understanding of the possible effect on clinical services.

Is Claroty Right For You?

Claroty is suitable for organizations managing connected physical infrastructure, such as factories, power grids, or hospitals, that require passive security to prevent operational downtime.

The software includes out-of-the-box controls mapped directly to specific global frameworks and mandates like NERC-CIP (utilities), HIPAA/FDA guidelines (healthcare), NIS2 (Europe), CMMC, and NIST CSF. That means buyers do not have to manually map their factory or hospital machine data to legal regulations. The software automatically maps network assets to relevant compliance mandates, reducing manual mapping work and helping teams align their environment with regulatory requirements.

For U.S. government agencies specifically, Claroty operates through an independent subsidiary, Claroty Public Sector LLC, and has achieved FedRAMP High 'In Process' status along with an Authority to Operate from the Defense Logistics Agency, credentials aimed at agencies managing the most sensitive federal cyber-physical systems.
