Analysis
Rockwell Automation announced new investments to enhance its IT and OT cybersecurity offering, which would better equip customers with the protection they need in today’s perilous environment. These initiatives include strategic partnerships with Dragos and CrowdStrike, as well as the establishment of a new Cybersecurity Operations Center in Israel [1].
The partnership will focus on initiatives for CrowdStrike’s cloud-native, AI-powered Falcon Platform in combination with Rockwell’s global deployment, network architecture, support, OT, and managed service capabilities to deliver differentiated solutions that address customers’ needs. These services plan to be remote capable and will increase the speed in which customers can access and remediate a cybersecurity threat [2]. We suggest companies investigate ways to further increase cybersecurity defense capabilities such as what Rockwell and CrowdStrike are researching. -
