Cyber-physical security company Claroty has just announced it has been asked to join the World Economic Forum’s Global Innovators Community. The invite-only group is composed of start-ups at the cutting edge of technological and ethical innovation.
The Global Innovators Community is made up of over 100 companies from all over the world.
As the community’s site says, “Amid major global disruptions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is a critical moment for innovative companies to bring forward new ideas and innovations to help protect lives and livelihoods of communities and industries around the world.”
“As the Organization for Public-Private Cooperation, the World Economic Forum provides the Global Innovators Community with a platform to engage with public- and private-sector leaders and to contribute new solutions to overcome the current crisis and build future resiliency.”
Yaniv Vardi, Claroty chief executive officer, will now join the next World Economic Forum annual meeting at Davos in January, alongside government and business leaders, to discuss world events and opportunities in the year ahead.
“We are honoured to join the World Economic Forum’s Global Innovators Community and partner with world leaders to address systemic security risks and threats, especially those facing critical infrastructure,” Vardi said in today’s announcement.
“Our industry is at a pivotal juncture, as the world has woken up to the staggering financial and societal repercussions that can occur when critical infrastructure is disrupted. On top of this, business leaders continue to deal with the impact of the pandemic, the economic recession, and geopolitical tensions, while determining how to operate efficiently and securely. It is against this backdrop that organisations must strive to remain resilient despite unprecedented and unpredictable issues.”
Given Claroty’s expertise, the company will be working closely with the forum’s Centre for Cybersecurity. Verena Kuhn, Global Innovators Community head, is keen for Claroty’s input.
“Claroty will be engaging in several work streams that look to enhance cyber resilience by developing and scaling forward-looking solutions and promoting effective practices across digital ecosystems,” Kuhn said.
