Dragos Inc has launched a global partner program that includes operational technology (OT) cybersecurity technology, services and threat intelligence. The program which also provides training, enables channel partners to offer their customers a full range of ICS/OT cybersecurity technology and services, increasing revenue opportunities and delivering positive customer outcomes. The company will transfer its knowledge and experience as the industry’s ICS/OT cybersecurity leader to its channel partners, enabling them to manage their customers’ deployments with the industry’s most comprehensive and complete ICS/OT security solution.
Christophe Culine, Vice President of Global Sales and Chief Revenue Officer says that the program addresses the acceleration in market demand for OT cybersecurity due to evolving threats, geopolitical dynamics and regulations that are shining a spotlight on the need to protect industrial infrastructure. Dragos’ partners gain confidence backed by Dragos experts, the industry’s largest, most experienced group of ICS/OT security practitioners who’ve been on the frontlines of major cyberattacks on industrial infrastructure.
The Dragos Global Partner Program provides a self-service portal that includes automated deal registration, materials for co-branding and other marketing assets, and access to self-paced ICS cybersecurity skills training through Dragos Academy training modules. The program has a variety of benefits including access to the Dragos Partner Portal, Market Development Funds (MDF), access to The Dragos Platform and unparalleled training from the company’s experts.
“With the Dragos Partner Program, we achieve joint commercial success while at the same time helping our customers manage their cyber risk and secure their critical assets,” said Sean Tufts, Practice Director of ICS and IoT Security, Optiv. “The comprehensive, unparalleled training we get from Dragos and the highly differentiated product offerings allow us to triage and investigate potential incidents for our customers, enabling quicker response and visibility into the breadth and depth of attacks as well as affected devices. All this allows us to give our customers the confidence that their operational technology and industrial infrastructure are secure, resilient, and compliant.”
According to Ryan Morris, President, Blackwood, “Our approach at Blackwood combines progressive technology with significant domain expertise and our partnership with Dragos greatly extends our ability to secure industrial security controls and operational technology. Our company has supported large enterprise networks for four decades and the people who work here are committed to making an impact on this industry. We align with Dragos on a deep philosophical level because they are equally committed to the mission and their new program was designed to encourage collaboration towards common goals.” The launch comes after the company celebrated one year of their OT-CERT program, the first cybersecurity resource designed to provide industrial asset owners and operators with free OT-specific cybersecurity resources specifically designed to help small-to-medium businesses build their OT cybersecurity programs, improve their security postures, and reduce OT risk.
