The Rosetta stone of CPS: Claroty’s AI-powered library
Summary
Claroty has launched its AI-Powered CPS Library, a novel mapping engine designed to resolve the "identity crisis" in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) by accurately identifying industrial and healthcare hardware. A report by Claroty's Team82 found that 88% of CPS assets lack exact product codes, and 76% use codes inconsistent with vendor records, complicating vulnerability management. The library employs a hybrid architecture combining classic Entity Resolution (ER) methods with Generative AI, leveraging the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. This system automates the identification of devices like Rockwell Automation's 1769-L36ERMS/B, linking internal codes to commercial names, specific parts, firmware versions, and relevant CVEs, a process previously requiring extensive manual effort. It has improved vulnerability attribution accuracy by 25% and provided new security recommendations for 56% of analyzed devices.
Key takeaway
For CTOs overseeing operational technology (OT) security, your teams should evaluate Claroty's AI-Powered CPS Library to gain deterministic visibility into your industrial and healthcare assets. This solution can significantly reduce manual effort in vulnerability management and improve the accuracy of security recommendations, thereby enhancing your organization's overall cyber-physical resilience and compliance posture.
Key insights
A hybrid AI system can resolve complex industrial asset identification challenges for enhanced cybersecurity.
Principles
- Deterministic traceability requires multi-agent AI.
- Domain-specific embeddings improve accuracy.
- Human-in-the-loop refines AI models.
Method
The system uses an orchestrated multi-agent AI, including NLP and Reasoning Agents, on a Databricks Lakehouse architecture. It processes diverse data, applies statistical inference, and integrates human feedback to achieve high-fidelity entity resolution.
In practice
- Automate vulnerability attribution for CPS assets.
- Implement LLM-as-a-Judge for continuous evaluation.
- Use domain-specific RAG for specialized data.
