Schneider Electric, Claroty Partner on Industrial Network Security

Energy management and automation giant Schneider Electric has teamed up with industrial cybersecurity startup Claroty to offer its customers solutions for protecting industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT) networks. Claroty, which emerged from stealth mode in September 2016 with $32 million in funding, will market its products through Schneider’s Collaborative Automation Partner Program (CAPP). Schneider’s CAPP enables its customers to find the right technology solutions and integrate them with the company’s own offering. Claroty, whose products have undergone rigorous testing to ensure interoperability, will provide network monitoring solutions.
