Corsha and Dragos Partner to Transform OT Security with Machine Identity Integration
Corsha and Dragos have integrated their security platforms to provide comprehensive operational technology protection by combining machine identity verification with advanced threat detection, addressing critical vulnerabilities in industrial systems.
Corsha, the first and only Machine Identity Provider purpose-built to secure machine-to-machine communication across operational systems and critical infrastructure, has announced a strategic partnership and platform integration with Dragos, Inc., a global leader in operational technology cybersecurity. This collaboration aims to transform how organizations secure industrial systems by combining machine identity and threat detection capabilities to provide security teams with complete visibility, precise control, and a trusted foundation for Zero Trust implementation in OT environments.
As operational networks grow increasingly complex and connected, the security stakes have reached unprecedented levels. Each new machine, sensor, or autonomous system introduced into production environments expands the attack surface, with many devices communicating without proper authentication or accountability. Adversaries are increasingly exploiting these unverified connections to move laterally through networks while evading detection. Achieving Zero Trust for OT requires more than network visibility or perimeter defenses—it demands continuous verification of every machine and every action within industrial systems.
The integration combines Corsha's automated machine identity and continuous authentication capabilities with Dragos' deep industrial threat intelligence, enabling organizations to ensure every machine communication is identity-verified while detecting, containing, and remediating threats before they can disrupt critical operations. Anusha Iyer, CEO and Founder of Corsha, emphasized the significance of this partnership, stating that machine-to-machine communication has become the backbone of modern operational systems while remaining one of the least protected layers of the OT environment.
Dan Dorchinsky, VP Public Sector at Dragos Inc., highlighted how the integration provides customers with both deep threat visibility and confidence in every machine connection, enabling faster and more confident response actions. The combined solution delivers several key benefits: preventing unauthorized and unusually risky machine communications through identity-driven microsegmentation, strengthening Zero Trust for OT environments by combining real-time asset visibility with dynamic machine identity controls, improving incident response efficiency with automated enforcement, and advancing compliance with industry standards like the SANS Five ICS Critical Controls.
The partnership enables organizations to achieve comprehensive Zero Trust implementation for OT by validating every connection, enriching threat detections with machine-level identity context, and dynamically controlling access based on risk assessment. This combined capability helps organizations more quickly identify malicious activity, contain security incidents, and maintain safe, continuous operations across demanding industrial environments.
