Industrial Environments , IIoT and Digital Safety
Craig Duckworth , President and Co-Founder of Velta Technology , discusses IIoT , cybersecurity and partnering with Claroty to stay on top of the industry
Craig Duckworth is the President and one of the co-founders of Velta Technology , providing Digital Safety , operational integrity , and cybersecurity for industrial manufacturing and critical infrastructure environments . “ Communication between IT and Operational Technology ( OT ) teams is vitally important , and we believe OT needs to own the safety and security of the plant floor . IT security tools and solutions can ’ t be overlayed onto equipment in the Industrial Control System ( ICS ) environment . The two environments and skillsets to successfully manage and protect are very different .”
Velta Technology ’ s partnership with Claroty
Velta Technology ’ s leadership team made the strategic decision to work only with top industrial cybersecurity companies – with Claroty a leader in asset visibility and monitoring solutions for industrial networks . “ We bring value to Claroty ’ s clients because of our deep understanding of the inner working of OT and IT environments , and the full potential of their industrial security solution . Velta Technology is not an IT cybersecurity technology company trying to move into the OT space . We understand process integrity and the inherent risks of plant floor equipment , which are unique to industrial environments . We help our mutual clients fully embrace what Claroty and our expertise at Velta Technology can offer .”
A unique Velta Technology advantage is their team . “ Our leadership team has over a hundred years of OT practitioner experience , and team members are degreed engineers that understand process integrity , ICS environments , and how to maximize Claroty ’ s solutions within the OT space ,” said Duckworth .
The Future of IIoT and OT according to Velta Technology
Over the next year , Duckworth sees Velta Technology poised for continued growth as a market leader . “ Our deep understanding of the Claroty platforms combined with our rich knowledge of Industrial Control Systems , allows Velta Technology to highlight the value of Claroty and what they do for the OT space .”
