Our take
A spate of high-profile cybersecurity attacks on key infrastructures and a shift towards remote working have underscored the need for substantial cybersecurity investment across most industries. Moreover, the increasing complexity of today’s industrial control systems needs to be matched by robust and proactive cybersecurity measures.
Dragos' threat-detection platform helps companies avoid security threats by providing visibility into industrial control systems and operational technology networks. Dragos has seen year-on-year growth of 100% in platform recurring revenue, as well as success on the national security front, fueled by its unique Neighborhood Keeper technology, a visibility solution that shares ICS threat intelligence across industries and geographic regions.
The company's next steps are to continue business growth and to build services that can offer cybersecurity protection to critical infrastructure across a range of industries and scales. Its intention is to go public, though it’s by no means an immediate priority for the company. Dragos aims to make critical cybersecurity more accessible - and it seems well on the way to achieving this.
