On Wednesday, September 9, 2026, PwC India issued a press release from Mumbai, Maharashtra, announcing a strategic alliance with Claroty, a cyber‑physical systems (CPS) protection company.
Purpose of the Alliance
The alliance is intended to help organisations address the evolving cybersecurity needs of connected environments, including operational technology (OT), industrial systems, healthcare, and other critical infrastructure. As businesses accelerate digital adoption across OT and IT domains, the partnership aims to provide an integrated approach to managing cyber risk across IT, OT, and extended connected environments. By combining Claroty’s specialised CPS protection capabilities with PwC India’s deep expertise in cybersecurity, risk management, business transformation, and OT security, the collaboration seeks to enhance organisational resilience, strengthen visibility across connected assets, and enable rapid response to a rapidly evolving threat landscape.
