Claroty, Mission IT partner to strengthen cybersecurity at US missile defense and intelligence facilities

A new cybersecurity partnership aims to protect critical US defence and intelligence systems. Claroty and Mission IT have joined forces to strengthen security at military missile defence and intelligence facilities. Their combined expertise is already revealing hidden vulnerabilities in key infrastructure.

The collaboration brings together Claroty’s specialisation in operational technology (OT) and industrial control system (ICS) security with Mission IT’s experience in deploying solutions for classified environments. At one intelligence facility, Mission IT installed Claroty’s Continuous Threat Detection (CTD) platform to secure the Facility Related Control System (FRCS). The deployment uncovered a far larger network of devices than previously recorded, along with unmapped weaknesses.

Claroty’s Edge data collection tool also identified major visibility gaps and dangerous misconfigurations at another intelligence agency’s facility control system. Meanwhile, the CTD platform has earned Authority to Operate (ATO) approval at several military missile defence sites. In each case, the technology exposed risks that had gone undetected. Jen Sovada, Claroty’s general manager for the public sector, noted that the partnership is proving its ability to safeguard national assets. Shawn Wells, CEO of Mission IT, emphasised the focus on reducing real-world risks for government agencies. Both companies are now expanding their joint efforts to support more defence and intelligence missions in line with federal cybersecurity goals.

The partnership has already improved security at multiple classified sites. By combining advanced detection tools with specialised deployment expertise, the two firms are addressing long-standing vulnerabilities in critical systems. Further expansions are planned to meet evolving federal cybersecurity needs.
