Claroty CTD review
A broad on-premises OT monitoring platform for asset visibility, detection, and exposure management.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Claroty Continuous Threat Detection (CTD) is an on-premises cybersecurity platform for industrial, government, and other operational technology environments. It is designed for OT security teams that need asset inventory, network monitoring, threat detection, exposure management, and virtual segmentation oversight in sensitive or air-gapped environments. CTD combines passive monitoring with active and AppDB discovery, helping organizations maintain a centralized view of OT and XIoT assets without generating additional traffic through passive monitoring. Claroty also describes mobile-ready deployments for federal OT use cases, while the product remains categorized as on-premises.
Its strongest differentiator is the breadth of OT visibility and detection capabilities in one platform. Behavioral baselining and anomaly detection complement real-time threat detection and contextualized alert timelines, while exposure and vulnerability management uses CVE and protocol data. Virtual network zones and segmentation policy monitoring add a layer for reviewing how operational environments are organized. Protocol coverage includes Modbus, DNP3, CIP, OPC UA, and more than 450 industrial protocols, making CTD suited to varied industrial environments rather than a narrow protocol footprint.
CTD also fits teams that need to connect OT monitoring with existing security operations or industrial management systems. Listed integrations include LogRhythm SIEM, RSA NetWitness SIEM, FortiSIEM, Splunk, Palo Alto Networks Panorama, AUVESY versiondog, and Rockwell Automation AssetCentre. Pricing follows a contact-sales model, so buyers should expect a sales-led evaluation rather than self-serve plan selection. Choose CTD when on-premises deployment, broad asset discovery, protocol coverage, and integration with security infrastructure are priorities; teams seeking a cloud-only or narrowly focused monitoring tool should look elsewhere.
