Cybersecurity might be the most noted and least implemented technology in operations technology today. I’m reminded of the struggles for safety systems back in the day. We wanted people to be safe, but proving an ROI on something that doesn’t happen is tough. At any rate, I’m happy to see new cybersecurity capabilities releasing.
Dragos has announced Dragos Platform 3.0. The Dragos Platform’s new Insights Hub consolidates risk-based vulnerability, asset, and threat alerts into a single prioritized view, while streamlined workflows, AI-enhanced vulnerability processes, and smaller footprint deployment options dramatically reduce time-to-value for industrial organizations. A number of additional capabilities are included in 3.0 to simplify management and lower cost of operation.
“The cost of inaction is too high in OT. The latest updates to the Dragos Platform focus on giving industrial defenders the visibility, speed, and confidence they need to take action and reduce risk before incidents escalate,” said Robert M. Lee, CEO and co-founder of Dragos. “Alerts, detections, and recommendations are grounded in insights supported by Dragos OT threat intelligence, which is unmatched in the industry. We are helping organizations build operational resilience to ensure the industrial and critical infrastructure they defend is prepared for today’s threats as well as tomorrow’s.”
Dragos Platform 3.0 introduces new deployment options and cost models that make it possible to serve smaller sites with greater flexibility and accessibility. New device footprints, including a smaller STS-50 and combined Sensor/SiteStore, enable organizations to extend comprehensive OT visibility across their entire industrial footprint without compromising on security effectiveness. Expanded Active Collection supports a range of new use cases including air-gapped and intermittently connected sites, which extends visibility and vulnerability management to even the most isolated environments.
The Dragos Platform also features simplified management through centralized sensor configuration and administration, along with streamlined integration capabilities that enhance workflows with both OT systems and IT security operations.
For organizations seeking complete managed security, the Dragos Platform with OT Watch Complete provides expert-driven 24/7 security monitoring, ongoing platform tuning, proactive security hardening, threat hunting, and management of detections, triage, and investigation. The service helps customers strengthen defenses and realize value more quickly. Dragos is working with multiple partners to embed their service into their broader managed SOC / managed detection and response service, and also operates as a standalone offering.
