Our engineers design the right deployment for your sites, get sensors and connectors in quickly, and tune detections to focus on the threats that matter most to your operations.
You stay focused on running the plants. We stay focused on stopping attacks.
- 24x7x365 monitoring and response for OT
- Powered by Microsoft Defender for IoT and Microsoft Sentinel
- Delivered within your Azure tenancy for control and compliance
- Fast onboarding and time-to-value
OT environments can’t afford downtime
Clarity OT delivers always-on OT/ICS monitoring and response, helping security and operations teams spot and contain threats before they impact safety, production, or revenue. Running in your Azure tenancy and powered by Microsoft Defender for IoT and Microsoft Sentinel, it reduces alert noise, keeps data costs under control, and provides clear, OT-aware guidance that doesn’t put uptime at risk.
Why Clarity OT matters for your OT world:
- Reduce OT cyber risk fast: Stand up a 24/7 OT-capable managed detection and response (MDR) service in days.
- Cut the noise, keep the signal: Threat-centric tuning and smart Sentinel ingestion reduce false positives and focus attention on high-priority alerts.
- See what’s really on your OT network: Expose shadow, legacy, and decommissioned devices that still sit on the network, and close gaps before attackers exploit them.
- Make compliance easier: Run the service inside your Azure tenancy with transparent logging and reporting, making it easier to evidence monitoring and response.
- Protect uptime and safety: Response actions are designed with plant operations and safety in mind, helping you contain threats without unnecessary disruption.
- Maximise your Microsoft investment: Get more value from the Microsoft licences and infrastructure you already own.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have any questions? Here are the answers to the most common queries about Clarity OT.
In most cases, we onboard initial sites in a matter of days. Our team handles sensor deployment, connector configuration, and tuning so you see meaningful detections and value as early as possible. Timelines depend on the size and complexity of your OT estate, but speed-to-value is a core design principle.
Yes. Clarity OT is designed to plug into your existing operating model. We can act as your dedicated OT SOC, augment your in-house team, or integrate with an existing SOC provider. Escalations, runbooks, and communication paths are defined upfront so everyone knows who does what, and when.
Uptime and safety are non-negotiable in OT. Our incident response guidance is aligned to your change processes, safety policies, and maintenance windows. We focus first on containment strategies that minimise operational impact, and always work with your OT and plant teams before recommending disruptive actions.
Clarity OT operates within your Azure tenancy, meaning data remains under your governance and residency requirements. We design the deployment to align with your industry regulations and internal policies, and provide transparent logging and reporting to support audits.
Clarity OT is optimised for OT/ICS, but many customers also use our broader Clarity managed security services to cover IT. Where required, we can integrate IT and OT visibility in Microsoft Sentinel while keeping OT investigations and incidents clearly separated for plant teams.
Clarity OT is primarily based on Microsoft Defender for IoT and Microsoft Sentinel. However, the service can also ingest signals from leading non-Microsoft OT security platforms, including Claroty, Nozomi, Armis, and Dragos. In these cases, their data and alerts are used as inputs into the service, while customers remain responsible for deploying, configuring, and maintaining any on-premises sensors.
Clarity OT is priced in line with Microsoft’s licensing model, using a site-based approach rather than charging per asset, ingestion volume, or scope. This gives you a clear, predictable commercial model while we optimise your Sentinel usage to avoid unnecessary data and monitoring costs.
Clarity OT combines OT-specific threat expertise, deep Microsoft security engineering, and a transparent service experience via the Clarity portal. Instead of generic monitoring, you benefit from a threat-centric, outcome-focused service that cuts noise, reduces risk quickly, and aligns with how your industrial operations actually run.
