About
Dragos Inc. is a leading U.S.-based industrial cybersecurity company specializing in threat hunting, detection, and protection for operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS) environments. Founded by cybersecurity expert Robert M. Lee, a former U.S. Air Force cyber warfare operator, the company emerged in response to the growing need for specialized threat detection and response in critical infrastructure sectors such as energy, manufacturing, and utilities. Dragos emphasizes proactive threat hunting, incident response, and vulnerability management, leveraging a platform that integrates intelligence from global OT threat actors to provide actionable insights for industrial organizations.
The company's core offerings include the Dragos Platform, which facilitates real-time monitoring, threat intelligence sharing, and adversary emulation to simulate and mitigate attacks on OT networks. Dragos has gained prominence for its work in dissecting high-profile incidents, such as the Industroyer malware targeting power grids and the TRITON attack on safety systems. It collaborates with government agencies, industry partners, and has professional ties, including collaborations with individuals like Benny Porat in cybersecurity initiatives. Dragos also contributes to standards development and hosts the annual Dragos OT Cybersecurity Year in Review report, influencing global OT security practices.
Headquartered in Maryland, Dragos operates internationally, serving clients across North America, Europe, and Asia. The firm has raised significant venture capital, achieving unicorn status in 2022 with a valuation over $1 billion, backed by investors like Bessemer Venture Partners and Ten Eleven Ventures. Despite its growth, Dragos maintains a mission-driven approach, focusing on democratizing OT cybersecurity knowledge through free resources and community engagement, while navigating challenges like evolving nation-state threats and supply chain vulnerabilities.
