State, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments depend on cyber-physical systems (CPS) to deliver essential services—from clean water and public health to power, transit, and public safety. As digital transformation connects OT environments across departments and infrastructure, the attack surface expands—bringing new challenges to operational resilience and security. Securing OT is critical to maintaining uninterrupted services for the communities that rely on them.
The stakes are high—protection of society and critical services is paramount for state, local government, tribes, and territories (SLTT). Digital transformation has increased the connectedness of mission-critical local government functions through IT/OT convergence while also expanding the attack surface. Deep visibility into OT/IT networks and segmentation of those networks is a must. As with any cybersecurity endeavor, the first foundational step for CPS protection is asset visibility. Within Claroty’s ecosystem, this includes five nonintrusive, comprehensive options for discovery and enrichment, spearheading robust visibility across city networks, public, and private.
