Cyber Risk Management Implementation at PANYNJ

This case study focuses on the collaboration between the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) and Claroty to enhance cyber risk management for operational technology (OT) systems. PANYNJ, which oversees vital infrastructure including airports and bridges, faced significant cybersecurity challenges due to vulnerabilities in its OT architecture. The agency initiated a thorough risk assessment process, revealing multiple cyber incidents and highlighting the urgent need for an effective security platform. PANYNJ sought a versatile solution designed for OT that could integrate with its existing IT security measures. After evaluating several vendors, Claroty was selected for its strong threat detection capabilities and ability to align with PANYNJ’s cybersecurity goals. The implementation process has progressed over two years, with ongoing training for cybersecurity teams and a focus on optimizing the platform's features. Claroty is now integral to PANYNJ's OT risk management strategy, providing real-time threat detection and monitoring to enhance security and operational resilience.
