Claroty & Akamai Guardicore

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) monitor and control physical processes, bridging the gap between IT and OT. They are foundational to business and operational processes in fields such as manufacturing, energy, healthcare, transportation, and building automation, but many remain difficult to secure.

In a hospital environment, connected medical devices—such as infusion pumps and imaging systems—must communicate with clinical applications and shared IT infrastructure. When a new vulnerability affects a class of medical devices that cannot be patched quickly, attackers could move laterally from IT systems into clinical networks, risking patient safety.

The joint solution from Claroty and Akamai Guardicore Segmentation closes this gap. Claroty identifies and classifies the affected devices, providing deep visibility into protocols and risk context. Akamai then applies agentless segmentation policies to restrict medical device communication strictly to required clinical systems. Lateral access from administrative IT systems or unrelated devices is blocked automatically, reducing the blast radius while maintaining operational continuity and patient care.
