Corsha Named a Gartner® Cool Vendor™ in Coolest Vendor Innovations in Cyber-Physical Systems Security, 2026 report

WASHINGTON, September 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Corsha, the leader in Industrial Identity Security purpose-built for operational technology, today announced that it has been named a Gartner® Cool Vendor in Coolest Vendor Innovations in Cyber-Physical Systems Security, 2026 report. Corsha envisions a wildly more prosperous, productive, and safer world where critical infrastructure - factories, processing plants, pipelines, depots - are freed to securely connect to the AI and data revolution. Too often today's industrial world is disconnected from this possibility, and is increasingly under attack. Defenses like firewalls and switches are complex to manage, slowing modernization, and unable to thwart attackers. This leaves industrial enterprises without the ability to meet business objectives. Corsha solves this by bringing identity to the Cyber-Physical Systems and OT world to safely authenticate and authorize every machine connection.

According to the report: "Today's infrastructure is not operated by people. It is operated by machines like sensors, controllers, robots, cloud workloads and physical AI. These machines often connect without authentication and use static, long-lived secrets like passwords, API keys, tokens and certificates. Machine-to-machine communication has become the dominant form of digital interaction in CPS."

The Corsha Industrial Identity Security Platform is purpose-built for OT operations and security, enabling microsegmentation to securely connect OT with IT, and providing complete intelligence and control over critical infrastructure communications. The Corsha Platform identifies and secures access for all PLCs, HMIs, robots, and OT systems in their native protocols. The Corsha Platform is integrated with leading CPS platforms, networking hardware, security operations centers, and industrial automation, to accelerate deployment and speed incident response. Corsha is helping customers successfully modernize, stop attacks, and maintain compliance in the most challenging CPS environments.

"We're proud to be named a Gartner® Cool Vendor and believe this recognition reflects the growing importance of identity in securing today's increasingly connected industrial environments," said Anusha Iyer, Founder and CEO of Corsha. "As defense, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure connect to the AI and data revolution, identity must be foundational. We're building a future where every machine can connect securely, enabling industrial enterprises to modernize their operational environments with confidence."
