Corsha and Dragos Partnership Advances Zero Trust Security for Industrial Operations

Corsha, the first Machine Identity Provider purpose-built to secure machine-to-machine communication across operational systems and critical infrastructure, has announced a strategic partnership and platform integration with Dragos, Inc., a global leader in operational technology cybersecurity. This collaboration addresses the growing security challenges in industrial environments by combining automated machine identity protection with advanced threat detection capabilities.

As operational networks become increasingly complex and interconnected, the security risks have escalated significantly. Each new machine, sensor, or autonomous system introduced into production environments expands the attack surface, with many devices communicating without proper authentication or accountability. Adversaries are increasingly exploiting these unverified machine connections to move laterally through networks and evade detection. Achieving Zero Trust for operational technology requires more than traditional network visibility or perimeter defenses—it demands continuous verification of every machine and every action.

The integration between Corsha's automated machine identity and continuous authentication platform with Dragos' deep industrial threat intelligence enables organizations to ensure every machine communication is identity-verified while detecting, containing, and remediating threats before they can disrupt critical operations. Anusha Iyer, CEO and Founder of Corsha, emphasized that machine-to-machine communication has become the backbone of modern operational systems while remaining one of the least protected layers of the OT environment.

Dan Dorchinsky, VP Public Sector at Dragos Inc., noted that securing OT environments requires both deep visibility into threats and confidence in every machine connection. The integration provides customers with the context needed to act with speed and confidence during security incidents. The combined solution unites two complementary layers of OT defense: continuous machine identity from Corsha and advanced threat detection from Dragos.

The partnership delivers several critical security benefits for industrial organizations. It prevents unauthorized and unusually risky machine communications by enabling identity-driven microsegmentation and ensuring only verified machines can initiate or maintain connections. This approach reduces the risk of lateral movement, ransomware attacks, and supply chain compromises. The joint solution strengthens Zero Trust implementation for OT environments by combining Dragos' real-time asset visibility and threat detection with Corsha's dynamic machine identity with policy-based microsegmentation and access controls.

Organizations also benefit from improved incident response efficiency through automated enforcement. By adding machine identity context to Dragos' high-fidelity detections, Corsha enhances intelligence around trusted communications, streamlining triage and response procedures. Security teams gain clearer, more actionable insights that accelerate investigation and response across OT environments. The integration also advances compliance with industry standards by helping organizations meet the Defensible Architecture guidelines within the SANS Five ICS Critical Controls.

The combined Corsha and Dragos solution enables organizations to achieve comprehensive Zero Trust for OT by validating every connection, enriching detections with machine-level identity, and dynamically controlling access based on risk assessment. This capability helps organizations more quickly identify malicious activity, contain security incidents, and maintain safe, continuous operations in demanding industrial environments.
