Simon Chassar , CRO , Claroty , reflects on the last two years , the maturity landscape of those in critical infrastructure sectors and Industry 5.0

IIn the business of building technology to protect critical infrastructure environments , Claroty ’ s core mission is to secure the cyber-physical systems used to run hospitals , power grids , oil pipelines , water utilities , and many other essential services that we depend on every day .

“ We have unique skills and a unique technology platform that is specially designed to detect , manage , and protect all connected devices within the four walls of an operational site , whether it ’ s industrial , medical , or commercial ,” says Simon Chassar , chief revenue officer , Claroty .
“ Claroty has evolved significantly since I joined . When I started , the company was on a growth trajectory . There was an increase in the number of attacks in the critical infrastructure environments and increasing regulation . In the years following 2013 , there has been a 3900 % increase in ransomware attacks in these environments .
“ Since joining , we have established a structured organisation , increased our headcount and client base , and grown our revenue year on year by 100 %. All of that growth has helped us to stay ahead of threats and to better serve our customers , protecting them from malactors taking advantage of the weaknesses within the critical infrastructure .”
