Corsha, a Machine Identity Provider (mIDP) for securing machine-to-machine (M2M) communication in operational systems, and Dragos, a leader in operational technology (OT) cybersecurity, have announced a partnership and platform integration. The collaboration aims to transform how organizations secure industrial systems by combining automated machine identity with threat detection, providing security teams with visibility, control, and a foundation for Zero Trust in OT.
As operational networks grow more complex and connected, the stakes for securing them have risen. Every new machine, sensor, or autonomous system introduced into production environments expands the attack surface, and often these devices communicate without authentication or accountability. Adversaries are exploiting these unseen connections, using trusted but unverified machine traffic to move laterally and evade detection. Achieving Zero Trust for OT requires continuous verification of every machine and action. By integrating Corsha’s automated machine identity and continuous authentication with Dragos’ industrial threat intelligence, organizations can ensure every machine communication is identity-verified and threats are detected, contained, and remediated before they disrupt operations.
“Machine-to-machine communication has become the backbone of modern operational systems, yet it remains one of the least protected layers of the OT environment,” said Anusha Iyer, CEO and Founder of Corsha. “By integrating our machine identity platform with Dragos’ threat detection platform, we are giving organizations the ability to continuously verify every connection and act on identity-driven intelligence in real time. This partnership brings Zero Trust for OT to life, strengthening resilience, accelerating response in real time, and securing the core of how critical industrial systems connect.”
“Securing OT environments requires both deep visibility into threats and confidence in every machine connection, and integrating Corsha’s machine identity platform with the Dragos Platform gives customers context to act with speed and confidence,” said Dan Dorchinsky, VP Public Sector, Dragos Inc. “By combining Corsha’s machine identity with Dragos’s deep industrial monitoring and visibility, asset discovery, risk-based vulnerability management, and threat detection, we are helping organizations strengthen their defenses and operational resilience.”
The integration unites two complementary layers of OT defense: continuous machine identity from Corsha and advanced threat detection from Dragos. Through a direct integration, the platforms work together to provide comprehensive visibility, trust, and control over operational environments. Key benefits include preventing unauthorized and risky machine communications, strengthening Zero Trust for OT, improving incident response efficiency with automated enforcement, and advancing SANS Five ICS Critical Controls with machine identity. By adding machine identity context to Dragos high-fidelity detections, Corsha enhances intelligence around trusted communications, streamlining triage and response. The joint solution helps organizations identify malicious activity, contain incidents, and maintain safe, continuous operations in demanding industrial environments.
