Claroty has launched Claire, an AI security agent built specifically for cyber-physical systems (CPS), which the company claims as the first of its kind for protecting mission-critical infrastructure across industrial, healthcare, commercial and public-sector operations.

The agent runs on a CPS language model, comprising information from more than 6,500 original equipment manufacturers and medical device makers, spans deployments at more than 20,000 sites across 50-plus sectors and 60-plus countries, and is backed by research from its Team82 unit.

Through industry-specific agents, the company said Claire can 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.

It stated the agent can also leverage research-backed device understanding to inform every security action, maintaining the safety and uptime of mission-critical environments, as well as 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, chief executive 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.”
