Compugen signs partnership with OTORIO to enhance OT security offerings

Paving the way for safer and smarter industrial environments

Compugen, one of Canada’s largest and most established technology solutions providers, has announced a business partnership with operational technology (OT) and digital risk management solutions provider OTORIO. This move will see Compugen leverage OTORIO’s leading platform in its OT solutions to better protect customers against cyber threats in industrial environments.

As operations in industry and manufacturing become smarter, more data-driven, and more connected, the risk of cyber attacks in this segment has grown exponentially, with incident volumes marking an increase of 67% in the last five years. Such intrusions have led to outages, disruptions, and millions of dollars incurred – causing real, tangible damage to businesses and institutions and their ability to serve their customers. Compugen and OTORIO see this development as an opportunity to bring advanced cyber defense solutions to Canada’s growing OT landscape and help improve security posture across the industry.

Under the partnership, Compugen will resell OTORIO’s RAM² OT security protection monitoring platform and spOT Assessment compliance risk assessment software solution, as well as use the latter to offer customers efficient and effective periodical technical risk assessments of their operational networks. The company’s long-standing relationships with the most respected names in IT enable the integration of many different technologies into comprehensive, business-driving solutions.

“At OTORIO, we strive to bring strategic partners like Compugen into the fold to provide optimal value to customers,” said JF Gignac, EVP Sales at OTORIO. “This collaboration enables us to expand our partner ecosystems and provide industrial customers with superior OT cybersecurity. We look forward to leveraging Compugen’s proven expertise and extensive customer base to introduce our solutions to the largest businesses globally,” he continued.

“OTORIO’s market-leading solution will provide our customers with peace of mind by ensuring that their operational environments are secure and resilient,” Inder Singh, Compugen’s Digital Transformation Architect, commented. “Bringing OTORIO into our portfolio enables us to supply more robust solutions to better serve our customers.”
