Dragos has more news coming next week. In the meantime, news of a collaboration with, who else for industrial software, Microsoft. How many Microsoft mentions squeezed into one sentence—Dragos brings proven energy and industrial cybersecurity, seamlessly deployed on Microsoft Azure, integrated with Microsoft Sentinel and readily accessible through Microsoft Marketplace.
Dragos Inc., a global leader in cybersecurity for operational technology (OT) environments, announced February 3, an expanded collaboration with Microsoft to help organizations modernize and secure their cyber-physical operations amid accelerating digital transformation, cloud adoption, and AI-driven change.
This collaboration focuses on integrating Dragos’s capabilities with Microsoft’s cloud and security platforms. By deploying the Dragos Platform on Microsoft Azure, integrating with Microsoft Sentinel, and enabling streamlined procurement through Microsoft Marketplace, organizations can more tightly align IT and OT security operations while adopting robust protections purpose-built for operational environments.
The collaboration addresses Microsoft customers’ on-premises OT security needs and enables Dragos to expand its cloud reach, creating deployment flexibility that serves customers’ diverse infrastructure strategies. Importantly, Dragos, a Microsoft partner, addresses a long-standing capability gap for organizations seeking to modernize operations without introducing unacceptable operational risk.
They provide a list of benefits:
- Unified IT/OT security operations through native integrations with Microsoft Sentinel Flexible deployment options across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments to support diverse infrastructure strategies
- Improved visibility into industrial assets, threats, and operational impact, enabling faster, more informed response
- Reduced procurement friction via Microsoft Marketplace and alignment with customers’ Azure consumption commitments
- A future-ready foundation for securing AI-enabled, connected, and automated operations
- This integrated approach enables organizations to accelerate cloud and AI initiatives while maintaining the safety, availability, and compliance requirements essential to cyber-physical environments.
Four integration pillars:
- Flexible Deployment Options—Beginning in Q1 2026, the Dragos Platform will support SaaS deployments on Azure, in addition to on-premises and hybrid models.
- Microsoft Sentinel Integration—OT-specific telemetry, threat intelligence, and asset context from Dragos flow directly into Microsoft Sentinel, enabling unified IT/OT detection, investigation, and response.
- Microsoft Marketplace Availability—Customers can procure Dragos through Microsoft Marketplace and apply Azure consumption commitments (MACC), aligning OT security investment with broader cloud and AI initiatives.
- Looking Ahead—This collaboration establishes a scalable foundation for continued innovation, enabling deeper technical integration and coordinated go-to-market execution as OT, cloud, and AI environments become increasingly interconnected. For customers, it provides a clear, future-ready path to secure modernization, establishing Dragos’s OT-native cybersecurity as an integral capability within one of the world’s most important enterprise technology ecosystems.
