Protecting Data Center Environments

Data center CPS security involves protecting the physical equipment and control systems that sustain data center operations. Beyond standard rack IT, this includes Gray Space power systems (switchgear, transformers, ATS, backup generators), White Space power and thermal management (intelligent PDUs, in-row CRAH, UPS, liquid cooling CDUs), and safety systems like Building Management Systems (BMS) and leak detection.

While hardware redundancy protects against mechanical failure, modern power and cooling systems rely on digital controls. A cyber-physical attack can exploit vulnerable BMS controllers or unauthorized vendor connections to disrupt sensor data — such as sending a false malicious leak signal to liquid cooling units — causing system shutdowns, physical hardware damage, or SLA breaches.

Claroty utilizes Dynamic Discovery, enabling operators to query networks safely and leverage existing infrastructure without shipping physical hardware appliances or waiting for scheduled maintenance windows. This delivers full visibility across newly built or acquired data center sites within hours.

Yes. Industrial control systems, backup generator controllers, and building controls often run on outdated operating systems that cannot be patched without voiding warranties or risking downtime. Claroty applies network protection and exposure management controls, surrounding legacy assets with precise network segmentation and behavioral monitoring to neutralize threats without interrupting live operations.

Claroty automatically generates comprehensive technical proof packs detailing asset inventories, vulnerability status, and secure vendor remote access logs. This evidence satisfies strict underwriter requirements for policy renewals and demonstrates compliance with global CNI regulations such as EU NIS2, US CISA guidelines, Australia's SoCI, ISA/IEC 62443, and NIST CSF.
