Cybersecurity start-up Corsha has unveiled new capabilities for its machine identity platform, aimed at helping industrial and government organisations manage and secure the growing web of machine-to-machine (M2M) communications.
The Washington-based company, which calls itself the first purpose-built Machine Identity Provider (mIDP), said the latest release of its platform introduces automated identity discovery, a visual “Connection Canvas” for mapping communications, and integration with Dragos’s SiteStore product.
The upgrades are designed to address a longstanding problem in operational technology (OT) environments, where machines such as industrial controllers, robots, and cloud workloads often communicate invisibly and without consistent oversight. Industry executives and policymakers have warned that such blind spots create significant cyber and operational risks, particularly as AI-driven automation accelerates across manufacturing, energy, and critical infrastructure.
“Machine-to-machine communication is the connective tissue of modern OT and industrial environments, but until now it has been largely invisible and uncontrolled,” said Anusha Iyer, Corsha’s chief executive and founder. “With these advancements, we are giving security and operational leaders the ability to see every connection, understand its context, and control when it happens.”
Analysts say the move reflects the growing adoption of Zero Trust security principles in industrial settings, where cyber incidents can cause costly downtime and safety risks. By offering identity-based access control and microsegmentation for machine communications, Corsha is positioning itself as an enabler of OT/IT convergence — a priority for regulators and operators seeking to modernise legacy systems.
Founded in Washington, Corsha is backed by Razor’s Edge Ventures, Ten Eleven Ventures, Booz Allen Ventures, and Cybernetix Ventures.
