On October 9, Hanover, MD-based Dragos Inc. announced the creation of Dragos Public Sector LLC, a dedicated subsidiary, delivering OT cybersecurity solutions to address the unique needs of government including US federal agencies. Leveraging US government expertise and US-based engineering, Dragos Public Sector aims to provide cybersecurity solutions that enhance visibility into federal OT environments, help public sector organizations prioritize and mitigate cyber risks, and improve the government’s ability to detect, respond and recover from OT-related cyber events.
The new subsidiary formalizes Dragos’s strong public sector business, which has grown at a CAGR of 67% since 2020 and includes serving federal civilian and defense organizations including military services and combatant commands.
Dragos Public Sector is also announcing it now holds a Top Secret Facility Clearance (FCL), allowing it to engage with mission partners and perform work on projects in its highly secure facilities. Additionally, the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has released the Dragos Platform 2.x Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG), Version 1, Release 1, for immediate use. Since its founding Dragos has met the US government’s need for software supply chain control and resiliency through software solutions that are developed, owned, and managed within the US. These credentials validate Dragos Public Sector as a trusted government partner that meets the most rigorous demands for federal cybersecurity.
“Federal agencies operate in highly sensitive environments that require robust security measures and compliance with stringent regulations,” said Daniel Dorchinsky, general manager, Dragos Public Sector. “By speeding the government’s ability to identify OT threats and vulnerabilities, assess their severity, respond, and improve OT network resilience, Dragos Public Sector will help agencies protect critical national assets from cyberattacks ranging from opportunistic hacktivists to the most sophisticated state actors.”
The Dragos Platform helps US federal agencies ensure the highest levels of security in OT environments without disrupting critical operations. Providing automated asset discovery and monitoring, the Platform delivers asset inventory and visibility across the network that aligns with foundational zero trust requirements. Powered by Dragos OT cyber threat intelligence, the Platform accurately detects threats and provides actionable insights. With a risk-based vulnerability database and scoring system, users efficiently prioritize security actions considering operational needs. OT Response Playbooks streamline investigations, leveraging insights from the largest ICS/OT practitioner team to effectively respond to threats.
