Dragos OT platform aims for faster OT cyber defence

OT cybersecurity company Dragos has announced a new platform that it says delivers capabilities to empower industrial defenders to act faster and more confidently to protect against intensifying cyberthreats.

According to the ‘2025 OT Security Financial Risk Report’ by Dragos, based on a study by Marsh McLennan’s Cyber Risk Intelligence Center, worst-case OT cyber incidents involving business interruption could put up to US$172.4 billion at risk globally in a single year, with indirect costs making up the majority of losses. As adversaries compress attack timelines to weeks and even days, defenders need speed as well as trust in the intelligence and guidance they receive from their OT cybersecurity platform.

Dragos says that Dragos Platform 3.0 meets this challenge head-on with capabilities that streamline workflows, prioritise what matters most, and deliver the accurate vulnerability analyses now using AI models to accelerate back-end operations.

The Dragos Platform's new Insights Hub consolidates risk-based vulnerability, asset and threat alerts into a single prioritised view, while streamlined workflows, AI-enhanced vulnerability processes, and smaller footprint deployment options dramatically reduce time-to-value for industrial organisations. 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 organisations build operational resilience to ensure the industrial and critical infrastructure they defend is prepared for today’s threats as well as tomorrow’s.”

Recognising that industrial organisations have varied operational requirements, Dragos Platform 3.0 also introduces new deployment options and cost models that make it possible to serve smaller sites with greater flexibility and accessibility.

“This represents our commitment to delivering not just advanced technology, but technology that truly serves our industrial community," said Jodi Schatz, Chief Product Officer at Dragos. “Every innovation — from the redesigned user experience, to the AI-enhanced vulnerability processes, to the Insights Hub — is designed to reduce the burden on security teams while increasing their effectiveness.”
