CounterCraft's platform uses sophisticated deception environments to detect and alert unauthorized adversarial activity. By combining deception technology and Hexagon US Federal's portfolio of OT/ICS technology, organizations can greatly enhance their overall cyber performance and OT resilience.

"Organizations with an operational technology footprint are facing two significant challenges—the digital transformation of OT devices to enhance connectivity and operability, and an ever-evolving threat landscape that specifically targets OT and Industrial Control Systems," comments Amyn Gilani, Chief Growth Officer of CounterCraft. "Together with Hexagon US Federal, we have a comprehensive solution to modernize OT systems and protect them with additional layers of security to divert threat actors and actively collect threat intelligence on adversarial behavior. I'm happy to be partnering with Hexagon US Federal to provide the market with a more comprehensive OT security solution with top-tier tradecraft and innovative technology."

"By combining CounterCraft's cyber threat intelligence technologies with Hexagon's cyber protection solutions for operational technology, we are able to bring a more complete range of capabilities to our customers that enable them to improve their cyber-resilience and more effectively combat cyber threats."
