Corsha Releases Folio to Forever Replace Manual OT Network and Compliance Documentation TMCnet News [October 21, 2026] | / | Corsha Releases Folio to Forever Replace Manual OT Network and Compliance Documentation Newly released Corsha Folio module gives security, network, and operations teams a clear, focused view into what's running and why in OT WASHINGTON, October 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Corsha, the leader in Industrial Identity Security, today announced Folio, a new module on the Corsha Industrial Identity Security Platform that automatically creates and updates operational maps and documentation showing how industrial systems are connected and communicating. Built on live network and access data, Folio gives teams a system of record for how their OT systems are running today, not just how they were designed. Security and operations teams can use this as-running view to spot risk and drift, prepare for incidents, and speed up compliance. Keeping up-to-date as-running documentation of an industrial network is tedious, manual work. More often than not, OT documentation doesn't exist, or the environment has drifted so far it's of little use to OT teams. Manual assessments take weeks of labor across a myriad of tools, and the compliance artifacts they produce are often still incomplete and inaccurate. Folio uses the power of Corsha Gatekeepers to capture the identities, connections, and data flows on the OT network, answering what is communicating, when, why, and how. Teams can generate derived hardware lists, connection maps true to the moment, and Microsoft Visio data flow diagrams. That documentation is ready to share across OT, security, and network teams and is designed for risk management and compliance frameworks, including IEC 62443, NERC CIP, and Zero Trust. Unlike previous manual approaches, Folio brings together real-time connections, data flows, machine identity, and access intelligence. Rather than building more data-drowning dashboards, Folio produces actionable artifacts that teams can use to assess risk, make real-time decisions, and modernize with confidence. "Industrial enterprises can't modernize safely when their operational picture no longer reflects how their operations actually run," said Anusha Iyer, Founder and EO of Corsha. "Folio builds on the identity intelligence at the heart of our platform to give security and operational leaders an accurate, current understanding of every machine and every connection, and its purpose in their environment. That means faster recovery when incidents happen, compliance that keeps pace with change, and a clear path to adopting new technologies like robotics and physical AI. We are excited about this use of AI and ML in the Corsha platform to automate the tedious but critical work of day-to-day operations." Folio supports three core use cases: * Day-to-day operations: For OT operators who assess risk, make daily decisions, and respond to incidents, Folio removes the need to manually maintain system and network documentation. * Continuous compliance: For OT leaders working to clear compliance roadblocks to innovation, such as Authority to Operate (ATO), Zero Trust, and NERC CIP, Folio delivers updated system, connection, and architecture documentation in minutes. * Accelerated technology adoption: For OT leaders and architects bringing in advanced robotics, physical AI, predictive analytics, and more, Folio enables teams to assess the impact of new industrial capabilities on brownfield environments to speed production deployment. Key Folio capabilities include: * Real-time visibility - Uses the Corsha Industrial Identity Security Platform and its Gatekeepers to deliver the most current, as-running view of what's on the OT network. * Connection intelligence - Maps connections and data flows, not just inventory, so teams can answer the what, where, when, and why questions needed to secure and modernize their operations. * Identity core - Builds on the Corsha Platform's identity-based foundation to monitor and track changes that IP addresses alone can't reveal, keeping assessments accurate as operations evolve. * Architecture design - Lets teams design boundaries, zones, and machine groups on a live Connection Canvas that shows data flows, connections, and the segmentation and policies that are live and enforced. * IEC 62443 native - Speaks the industry-standard language of IEC 62443, from the Connection Canvas through to exported assessment artifacts. * Visio export ready - Exports accurate operating diagrams to Microsoft Visio so teams can collaborate in the most common OT design format. With the new Corsha Folio module, organizations can cut the time spent on compliance activities by orders of magnitude, reduce time to recover from security incidents and errors, prevent misconfigurations and downtime with always up-to-date system specifications, and eliminate the cost of manually maintaining operations documentation.

Securely connecting the industrial world. I'm excited and proud to share that Corsha has been named as a Cool Vendor(TM) in the Gartner(R) Coolest Vendor Innovations in Cyber-Physical Systems Security, 2026 report. The Corsha team has had an interesting journey that brought Corsha to help solve OT problems for customers into the space. To many of Corsha OGs on the Corsha team, machines were largely Docker containers, kubernetes pods, and virtual machines. As Corsha started talking with folks in OT, Corsha quickly realized that the imminent machine identity problem to solve is with industrial systems - * Robots automating manufacturing, * HVAC systems allowing for remote management across a campus, * Physical AI and predictive analytics optimizing operations. Industrial systems need to be more connected every day. Defense, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure have no option. Industrial enterprises must rapidly connect operational systems to the AI and data revolution to remain competitive. Every new connection in an industrial network introduces both opportunity and risk. OT systems support the physical processes that manufacture, control, and transport the basic infrastructure that its world depends on. Yet they were never designed for modern connectivity or the barrage of attacks they face today. This is exactly where identity and trusted access comes in, and it's a pivotal time for Cyber-Physical Systems Security. It's time to move past detection to stopping attacks in real-time. It's time to continuously assess and validate industrial networks against as-running knowledge not stale and difficult-to-maintain diagrams and documentation. It's time to build the confidence to connect PLCs and other OT systems to anything, including cloud and physical AI. Changing how Corsha securely connect OT Corsha solves these challenges using the power of machine identity. Its Industrial Identity Security Platform helps organizations: - Apply identity-based microsegmentation across OT environments - Use adaptive and behavioral identity to protect machine communications - Stop unauthorized connections and attacks in real-time - Modernize without compromising operational safety and availability - Continuously assess as-running versus intended operations Building the Future of Industrial Identity Security From the day that I jumped into cyber decades ago now, my mission and my passion has been to make cybersecurity accessible. Not a blocker or a gate but usable and useful. Its vision at Corsha is a future where every machine in every factory, military base, energy grid, and logistics warehouse can plug into the AI and data era confidently and safely, and where that secure connectivity makes the world more productive, more resilient, and more secure. Corsha is proud of what the Corsha team has built and grateful to the customers and partners who are helping Corsha rethink what identity and access means across operational environments. There is a lot more work ahead as industrial systems become more connected, automated, and intelligent. Corsha is excited to keep building.
