Dragos

Dragos is an industrial cybersecurity company that focuses on protecting operational technology and control system environments. Its core offering is the Dragos Platform, which provides continuous monitoring, threat detection, and vulnerability management for assets such as programmable logic controllers, supervisory control and data acquisition systems, and interconnected industrial networks. Complementing the platform, the firm delivers threat intelligence reports, incident response services, and advisory engagements that help customers understand adversary tactics specific to sectors like energy, manufacturing, water, and transportation. These services are designed to give organizations visibility into their OT ecosystems and to support risk‑based decision making without requiring deep specialized expertise on the client side.

The company distinguishes itself through a deep specialization in the OT/ICS domain, a field where traditional IT security tools often fall short. Dragos maintains a dedicated team of analysts who produce regularly updated threat intelligence that tracks malware families, campaign activity, and nation‑state actors targeting industrial infrastructure. This intelligence is integrated directly into the platform, enabling automated detection and contextual alerts that are tuned to the unique protocols and safety considerations of industrial control systems. In addition to its technical capabilities, Dragos has positioned itself as a trusted advisor to regulators and industry groups, contributing to the development of best practices and guidance documents that shape cybersecurity standards for critical infrastructure. Its reputation is built on a combination of hands‑on incident response experience, rigorous research, and a focus on delivering actionable insights rather than generic security advice.

Dragos is headquartered in Hanover, Maryland, United States of America, and operates as a privately held entity. The firm was founded in 2016 by a group of professionals with backgrounds in government cybersecurity, military operations, and industrial control systems, and it has since expanded its workforce to support a global customer base. While the company maintains its primary operations in the United States, it serves clients across multiple continents through remote delivery of its platform and services, as well as through a network of partners and resellers. Ownership remains with its founders and private investors, and there is no public indication of a parent company or subsidiary structure that alters its operational independence. This structure allows Dragos to maintain a sharp focus on its mission of securing the world’s most essential industrial environments.
