Claroty introduces CPS‍-‍native AI security agent

Claroty has announced Claroty Claire, a CPS-native AI security agent designed to help organisations to proactively defend their mission-critical infrastructure with greater speed and accuracy. Claire is powered by a cyber-physical system (CPS) language model.

The rate at which AI is expanding the CPS attack surface requires proactive steps be taken now. In robotics alone, according to Goldman Sachs, “the total addressable market for humanoid robots is projected to reach US$38 billion by 2035, up more than sixfold from a previous projection of US$6 billion”, predicting “more than 250,000 humanoid robot shipments in 2030, almost all of which would be for industrial use”.

AI has also hyper-accelerated the threat lifecycle, unleashing threats that move much faster than targets can react. Most AI-powered cybersecurity solutions prioritise speed and simplicity over accuracy, which is a dangerous trade-off when defending mission-critical infrastructure. Organisations need intelligent, contextual and prescriptive solutions that deliver trustworthy insights with swift, deterministic scalable actions.

According to Gartner, “AI is reshaping CPS security. Cybersecurity leaders must balance deterministic safety with AI‑driven prediction, enrichment and investigation to reduce real risk, automate complexity, and strengthen resilience without disrupting operations.”¹

Claroty says it developed Claire with a focus on precision and operational integrity, meticulously training the tool on the company’s deep domain expertise in the industrial, healthcare, commercial and public sectors to orchestrate the entire journey from discovery to defence.

Harnessing the power of a CPS language model, comprising detailed information from over 6500 unique OEMs and medical device manufacturers, and backed by threat research from Claroty’s Team82, Claroty says that organisations utilising industry‍-‍specific agents from Claire will be able to:

• Reduce risk: Minimise the attack surface and prevent downtime with an always-on team of agents that proactively prioritise and orchestrate remediation of exposures that would impact business continuity if exploited.
• Improve operational resilience: Leverage research-backed device understanding to inform every security action, maintaining the safety and uptime of mission-critical environments.
• Achieve continuous compliance: Reduce the manual burden of audit preparation with automated asset mapping to regulatory frameworks and OEM-approved patch levels.
   

“Organisations face pressure to embrace digital transformation and AI for efficiency and cost reduction, all while ensuring these tools safely improve resilience and preserve uptime,” said Yaniv Vardi, CEO at Claroty. “This Herculean task is achievable when leveraging an AI tool that intrinsically understands the unique complexities of CPS environments and can balance security controls with operational needs. That’s why we built Claire: to empower human operators to make decisions with confidence, based on tailored insights and agentic actions you can trust.”
