Dragos Platform available on AWS Marketplace to secure, manage ICS cyber risk

August 08, 2023

Industrial cybersecurity firm Dragos announced Tuesday its partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), strengthening digital transformation security, enabling Dragos Platform purchase in AWS Marketplace, and supporting SiteStore and CentralStore cloud services.

With the availability of Dragos Platform for purchase in AWS Marketplace, it allows users to benefit from simplified procurement, consolidated billing, and the ability to use their committed spend with AWS to purchase the Platform. Customers adopting new cloud-native technologies to enhance their industrial operations can expand their industrial cloud projects to include the Dragos Platform for OT asset visibility, threat detection, vulnerability management, and investigation and response.

“For industrial organizations in electric, oil and gas, and manufacturing, cloud services and migrations have the potential to unlock new business capabilities, reduce costs, and improve production uptime,” Dan Scali, a Dragos executive, wrote in a company blog post. “To successfully enable these benefits, industrial organizations must establish a strong cybersecurity foundation for their digital transformation initiatives by identifying the threats and vulnerabilities that matter and appropriately managing the security risks that could impact their industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT) environments.

Dragos helps industrial organizations gain the confidence required to accelerate adoption of AWS services to improve industrial operations by providing foundational OT cybersecurity capabilities. When deployed on the cloud, Dragos leverages the power of AWS to provide users the flexibility and scalability of a cloud deployment to defend OT environments combining on-premises Dragos sensors with cloud-hosted Dragos CentralStore and Dragos SiteStore for remote management and monitoring.

The Dragos Platform offers comprehensive ICS/OT vulnerability management with corrected and enriched risk scores, and prioritized guidance that enables customers to manage the full lifecycle of specific vulnerabilities in their environment. It also provides accurate threat detection that rapidly pinpoints malicious behavior on the ICS/OT network, and provides in-depth context of alerts, while reducing false positives for actionable threat detection.

The Dragos Platform now supports the Dragos CentralStore for customers who prefer to deploy it as a Dragos-managed SaaS solution. The Dragos CentralStore joins the Dragos SiteStore as a component of the Dragos Platform that can be deployed and managed on the Dragos Cloud, powered by AWS.

The CentralStore aggregates multi-site data collected and analyzed from multiple Dragos Platform SiteStores. It brings enterprise-scale OT visibility, detection, and response to companies looking for consistent, centralized risk management and reporting and who don’t want to compromise operational effectiveness for operational efficiency at scale.

With Dragos and AWS, industrial organizations can address the cybersecurity challenges inherent in the digital transformation of their OT environments.
