Dragos Inc., the global leader in cybersecurity for operational technology (OT) environments, announced the latest release of the Dragos Platform, the industry’s most effective OT network visibility and cybersecurity platform. The updates provide industrial and critical infrastructure organizations with even deeper and enriched visibility into all assets in their OT environments, streamlined workflows for threat detection and vulnerability management that allow for efficient and effective response, and powerful integration of Dragos WorldView intelligence and Neighborhood Keeper community intelligence on current and emerging threats.
Industrial organizations worldwide are grappling with the rise of threat groups that scale attacks on widely-used technologies and common security weaknesses in OT environments, as well as a 50% year-over-year increase in reported ransomware attacks on these organizations1. At the same time, they must balance the need for safety, quality, intellectual property protection, and financial and reputational safeguards with the competing priorities of uptime and availability of complex industrial infrastructure. IT cybersecurity approaches do not adequately protect these systems; threat and vulnerability methods not tailored to OT environments can disrupt essential processes and overburden security teams with irrelevant alerts.

The Dragos Platform provides comprehensive OT-native cybersecurity as a non-intrusive overlay to operations environments. Updates include new local collector and file ingestion capabilities that expand data collection options for increased flexibility; also included are new filtering capabilities that create powerful asset inventory views to answer key visibility questions for IT security and operations alike. The evolved integration of the Platform with Dragos’s Neighborhood Keeper and WorldView threat intelligence streamlines vulnerability management, threat detection, and response workflows to meet emerging threats like FrostyGoop and PIPEDREAM malware; Unitronics vulnerabilities; and VOLTZITE, CyberAveng3rs, and CHERNOVITE threat groups targeting OT environments.
“The latest enhancements to the Dragos Platform focus on helping industrial organizations build the most comprehensive asset inventory and implement effective protective measures against today’s intensified OT cyber threats — all without disrupting critical operations,” said Jodi Schatz, Chief Product Officer at Dragos. “Dragos understands the complexity of these environments — and the growing risk — and builds that knowledge into the platform so customers can identify and protect their most critical assets with greater precision and confidence. Customers benefit from powerful intelligence from our integrations with Dragos WorldView and Neighborhood Keeper — the largest anonymized information-sharing network used by the broader OT and intelligence community.”
