\t\t\t\tDragos, a cybersecurity company focused on operational technology (OT) environments, announced the acquisition of Phosphorus, a provider of connected device security solutions. The deal expands Dragos\u2019 platform beyond traditional OT systems to secure the broader Extended Operational Technology (xOT) environment, which includes billions of connected devices embedded across critical infrastructure and operational networks.
\nAccording to the company, modern critical infrastructure environments such as power grids, pipelines, manufacturing facilities, and data centers increasingly rely on a diverse mix of connected devices and digital systems. As adversaries target these broader environments, organizations require expanded visibility, intelligence, and control capabilities to defend them effectively.
\nThe acquisition is designed to extend Dragos\u2019 cybersecurity platform with Phosphorus\u2019 device discovery and remediation capabilities. By integrating Phosphorus technology, Dragos aims to provide customers with deeper visibility into connected devices, automated remediation workflows, and continuous risk reduction across operational environments.
\nPhosphorus offers a platform that discovers and manages connected devices across OT and enterprise environments without requiring major architectural changes. Its capabilities include device visibility, risk assessment, password rotation, firmware updates, certificate management, configuration hardening, and compliance support.
\nDragos said customers will initially gain expanded asset visibility and integrated device intelligence, followed by automated remediation workflows and a more unified platform experience as integration progresses. Existing Phosphorus customers will continue to receive support while gaining access to broader Dragos offerings.
\nAs part of the transaction, Phosphorus President and COO Sonu Shankar will remain with the company, serving as General Manager of the Phosphorus business within Dragos during a phased integration process.
\nThe acquisition follows Dragos\u2019 October 2024 purchase of Network Perception, which added network visibility, segmentation validation, and compliance capabilities to the company\u2019s platform. Dragos said the combination of Network Perception\u2019s network architecture security capabilities and Phosphorus\u2019 device security technology further strengthens its ability to protect operational environments. Following the acquisition, Dragos estimates its total addressable market opportunity exceeds $50 billion.
\nFounded to safeguard critical infrastructure, Dragos provides cybersecurity solutions for sectors including energy, manufacturing, water, transportation, and data centers. The company operates globally across North America, EMEA, and APAC.
\nKEY QUOTES:
\n\u201cThe connected devices you find everywhere in critical infrastructure are largely invisible to the cybersecurity programs that protect operational environments. With Phosphorus, we close that gap and secure xOT, the full environment that matters.\u201d
\nRobert M. Lee, CEO and Co-Founder, Dragos
\n\u201cWe built Phosphorus to solve the connected device problem \u2014 the unmanaged devices, the default credentials, the firmware no one was updating. Together with Dragos, we can solve it with a depth and scale that wasn\u2019t possible before. That\u2019s what the next generation of OT cybersecurity looks like.\u201d
\nSonu Shankar, President and COO, Phosphorus<\/p>\n
