Dragos has added Phosphorus to its business as companies running industrial systems deal with a growing number of connected devices. The acquisition gives Dragos more ways to support OT cybersecurity across environments where older systems now work alongside newer digital tools. For many operators, keeping track of every connected asset has become harder than before.
Power facilities, factories, pipelines, and data centres often depend on thousands of systems working at the same time. Some support operations directly, while others handle monitoring or communications. As those environments grow, security teams face a wider range of risks. Dragos said stronger OT cybersecurity matters as organisations look for better oversight across operational networks.
Dragos Broadens xOT Security Efforts
Phosphorus develops technology that helps organisations find and manage connected devices already running inside their environments. Teams can review device settings, improve visibility, and handle maintenance work without changing existing infrastructure. The platform also supports password management, firmware updates, certificate controls, and system configurations. For companies managing critical environments, OT cybersecurity becomes easier when teams can quickly identify devices and respond to issues early.
“The connected devices you find everywhere in critical infrastructure are largely invisible to the cybersecurity programs that protect operational environments,” said Robert M. Lee, CEO and Co-Founder of Dragos. “With Phosphorus, we close that gap and secure xOT, the full environment that matters.”
“We built Phosphorus to solve the connected device problem – 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’t possible before. That’s what the next generation of OT cybersecurity looks like,” said Sonu Shankar, President and COO of Phosphorus.
