Dragos and Emerson Expand Global Agreement to Secure Industrial Infrastructure

 Dragos announces the expansion of its global agreement with Emerson. With this agreement expansion, Emerson has validated the Dragos Platform within its DeltaV distributed control system (DCS) providing organizations with greatly enhanced ICS/OT cybersecurity. This extended agreement builds on the initial global agreement between Dragos and Emerson to protect industrial control systems and operational technologies for power producers and water utilities to now include organizations in dozens of industries including oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, metals and mining, and others.

The Dragos OT Security Platform is focused on reducing cyber risk to industrial environments. It provides visibility into assets and vulnerabilities, detects cyber threats to industrial systems, and enables efficient response through forensic investigation and OT-specific playbooks.

With this expanded agreement, customers benefit from:

• Improved threat detection and response across the entire industrial OT network.

• Greatly enhanced visibility into the OT environment allowing industrial organizations to monitor assets, track, and mitigate vulnerabilities, and leverage traffic monitoring information to investigate issues and incidents.

• Fast, efficient, and effective threat detection, response, and mitigation to help maintain safety and uptime as a result of continuously updated content packs hyper-focused on ICS networks for DeltaV DCS-specific and other vendors’ hardware.
• A full range of OT cybersecurity services is available throughout Emerson’s global services network for process industries.

Alexandre Peixoto, Cybersecurity Business Director of Emerson’s Process Systems and Software business said, “expanding our agreement with Dragos allows us to offer market-leading ICS/OT-specific cybersecurity to a large, diverse section of our customer base and provide the processing and manufacturing community with the protection they need to safely and efficiently run their operations.”

“By growing our agreement and bringing industrial cybersecurity to an even wider group of industries, we can reach and protect a wider array of organizations in the process industry sector, many of whom are just embarking on the path of digital transformation and have immediate needs to reduce risk as they expand connectivity,” said Matt Cowell, Vice President of Business Development at Dragos.
