OT cybersecurity platform for industrial and critical infrastructure
Dragos builds a monitoring and threat-detection platform purpose-built for operational technology environments—power grids, oil & gas, manufacturing, water systems. The stack (Rust, Go, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Kubernetes) is engineered for scale and low-latency asset discovery and vulnerability detection across OT, IT, IoT, and IIoT networks. Active projects signal heavy investment in agent deployment, platform reliability, and CI/CD automation for threat-intelligence content delivery, while pain points reveal two competing pressures: accelerating customer delivery velocity and hardening distributed sensor deployments across heterogeneous industrial environments.
Dragos protects critical-infrastructure operators by combining a software platform with in-house OT threat-intelligence and incident-response teams. The platform discovers and monitors industrial assets, tracks vulnerabilities, and detects threats in environments that cannot tolerate the downtime or architectural assumptions of traditional IT security tools. Customers span electric utilities, oil and gas operators, manufacturers, water authorities, transportation systems, mining, and government agencies. The company was founded in 2016 and operates from Hanover, Maryland, with regional presence in North America, Europe/Middle East/Africa, and Asia-Pacific. The organization is 501–1,000 employees, with a majority in engineering and senior-level technical roles, reflecting the domain expertise required to ship OT-specific threat detection and response.
Rust, Go, and Python for backend services; PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch for data storage and search; Kubernetes and Docker for containerization; AWS and Azure for cloud infrastructure; Salesforce and NetSuite for operations.
