Corsha, the first Machine Identity Provider (mIDP) purpose-built for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication security in operational systems, has partnered with Dragos, a leader in operational technology (OT) cybersecurity. The integration combines Corsha's automated machine identity and continuous authentication with Dragos' industrial threat intelligence and detection platform, enabling organizations to verify every machine connection and respond to threats in real time.
As operational networks grow more complex, every new machine, sensor, or autonomous system expands the attack surface. Many devices communicate without authentication, allowing adversaries to exploit trusted but unverified machine traffic for lateral movement. Achieving Zero Trust for OT requires continuous verification of every machine and action. The joint solution prevents unauthorized machine communications, strengthens Zero Trust by combining real-time asset visibility with dynamic identity-based microsegmentation, and improves incident response efficiency by adding machine identity context to detections.
"Machine-to-machine communication has become the backbone of modern operational systems, yet it remains one of the least protected layers of the OT environment," said Anusha Iyer, CEO and Founder of Corsha. "By integrating our machine identity platform with Dragos’ threat detection platform, we are giving organizations the ability to continuously verify every connection and act on identity-driven intelligence in real time."
Dan Dorchinsky, VP Public Sector at Dragos, added, "Securing OT environments requires both deep visibility into threats and confidence in every machine connection, and integrating Corsha’s machine identity platform with the Dragos Platform gives customers context to act with speed and confidence."
The integration also helps organizations advance the SANS Five ICS Critical Controls by adding machine identity and access control to meet Defensible Architecture guidelines. By continuously verifying M2M communications, the joint solution enforces strict boundaries across industrial networks.
