Dragos Named a Leader in 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for CPS Protection Platforms

Dragos Platform for OT environments is recognized for its ability to execute and completeness of vision.

HANOVER, Md., February 18, 2025 – Dragos, Inc., the global leader in cybersecurity for operational technology (OT) environments, today announced it has been named a Leader in the first Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for CPS (Cyber-Physical Systems) Protection Platforms.¹ Dragos provides industry-leading, OT-native technology, the Dragos Platform, backed by comprehensive OT cyber threat intelligence and unrivaled cybersecurity expertise. Gartner evaluated 17 vendors against 15 criteria on two axes: Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision.

“We believe, this recognition underscores Dragos’s commitment to helping customers secure their OT and ICS environments with the most advanced and effective OT-specific cybersecurity technology and threat intelligence available,” said Jodi Schatz, Chief Product Officer, Dragos. “With our specialized focus on securing industrial infrastructure, our success is rooted in our deep and unmatched understanding of operational technology environments and our relentless drive to safeguard the world’s industrial infrastructure.”

Gartner defines CPS as engineered systems that orchestrate sensing, computation, control, networking, and analytics to interact with the physical world (including humans). Gartner defines the CPS protection platforms market as products that use knowledge of industrial protocols, operational/production network packets or traffic metadata, and physical process asset behavior to discover, categorize, map and protect CPS in production or mission-critical environments outside of enterprise IT environments. Gartner expects that by 2027, 75% of CPS-intensive organizations will obtain cybersecurity capabilities from a cyber-physical systems protection platform (CPS PP), accelerating the shift from point solutions.

The Dragos Platform offers comprehensive OT network visibility and security monitoring, enabling customers to identify and inventory assets, manage and prioritize vulnerabilities and detect and respond to threats. The Platform is codified with OT-specific threat analytics and insights from a team of OT cybersecurity practitioners. Dragos WorldView threat intelligence delivers in-depth visibility of emerging threats targeting industrial environments globally, and the defensive recommendations to combat them.

In addition to being an industry-leading CPS protection platform, Dragos also provides customers with dedicated OT cyber threat intelligence reporting through its WorldView subscription, as well as with professional services. “Dragos offerings meet customers where they are to assure a successful OT cybersecurity program,” said Robert M. Lee, CEO and Co-founder, Dragos. “While the Gartner evaluation focuses specifically on technology, our model of providing our leading technology backed by comprehensive OT cyber threat intelligence and unrivaled industrial cybersecurity expertise helps customers establish the most effective OT cyber program for their environments.”

In our opinion, this recognition caps a year of key achievements for Dragos, including the acquisition of Network Perception, makers of NP-View, an award-winning network visualization platform for OT networks, and the formation of Dragos Public Sector LLC, a dedicated subsidiary, delivering OT cybersecurity solutions to address the unique needs of government including US federal agencies. Dragos was also named in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 for the fourth consecutive year, recognized by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, with a prestigious 5-Star Award in its 2024 Partner Program Guide, and named Vulnerability Management Solution of the Year by the Cybersecurity Breakthrough Awards.
