Dragos is Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for CPS Protection Platforms

We are excited to share that Dragos has again been named as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for CPS (Cyber-Physical Systems) Protection Platforms. Complimentary access to the full Magic Quadrant report can be found here.

Gartner designates Leaders as vendors that demonstrate balanced and consistent progress across all Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision criteria, which include global and multi-vertical reach, depth and breadth of CPS security capabilities, deep knowledge of CPS environments, and proven management capabilities for enterprise customers. Dragos’s second consecutive Leader placement reflects sustained performance against a rigorous standard.

Cyber‑physical systems span IoT, smart buildings, medical devices, robotics, industrial control systems, and more. Within this broader category, Dragos focuses on the OT and ICS environments where our customers operate. For the last decade, that focus has shaped everything we build and every customer we serve.

This recognition is the result of investments and innovation we have made to deepen our OT-native platform, expand our vertical expertise across critical infrastructure sectors, and deliver the threat intelligence and services that give Dragos Platform customers every advantage in running a comprehensive OT security program.

Let’s break it down. Reading the report, a few areas stand out in how Gartner evaluates the Dragos Platform.

Protection Across Global Critical Infrastructure - Gartner recognized Dragos for deepening its focus in manufacturing, oil and gas, energy, utilities and government through continued investment in understanding sector specific threats, trends, and regulations. The report also highlighted Dragos’s expanding global footprint, with growth across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand as cyber threats increase and digital transformation accelerates worldwide.

Built with and for Practitioners - The report highlights our product release strategy and the partnership behind it. Customers are part of the process at every stage, from how we build and validate new capabilities to the training and documentation that supports them.

Innovating the Platform - Dragos continues to advance the Platform with capabilities that help teams work more clearly and efficiently in operational environments. Gartner noted that the 2025 launch of Dragos Platform 3.0 brought improved navigation, smarter workflows, AI‑powered module, and expanded asset discovery. Additionally, they highlighted our strategic partnerships with Yokogawa and Microsoft.

We have had an ambitious roadmap for the Dragos Platform. And the 2026 roadmap builds on that momentum, expanding both the breadth and depth of our capabilities.

• Asset Inventory and Vulnerability Management: Continuing to expand asset discovery methods and add deeper details like asset lifecycle, enhanced vulnerability workflows, and communications context.
• Artificial Intelligence: Advancing our AI-enabled workflows by delivering instant, asset-specific answers to vulnerability and threat questions. From triaging Priority NOW CVEs to mapping active threat groups against your live environment, everything is grounded in the Dragos Intelligence Fabric, with no manual correlation required.
• Segmentation: Uncovering hidden access paths attackers exploit to reach OT environments, with auditable proof that network segmentation policies are properly enforced.
• Compliance Support: Addressing compliance requirements with built-in reporting for NERC CIP, NIST, TSA, and IEC-62443 frameworks including audit-ready baselines, network segmentation analysis, zone and connection maps, and firewall checks, so security teams spend less time building evidence and more time protecting their environments.

With Dragos, you get more than a leader; you get a partner. That matters when resources are limited and stakes are high. Dragos brings together actionable intelligence, experienced practitioners, and services built specifically for industrial and critical infrastructure, creating support that stays with organizations throughout their security journey. Here are some of the ways we do that:

The Dragos Intelligence Fabric is the connective system behind everything that is continuously unifying global OT telemetry, asset and protocol library and research, adversary tracking, vulnerability research, years of incident response, and artificial intelligence trained on the industry’s deepest OT dataset. This gives analysts OT‑specific insights that help them focus on what matters and act with confidence.

Even the strongest teams need support. OT Watch Complete is a fully managed service that acts as your Dragos Platform operator, delivering 24x7 monitoring, threat hunting, alert triage, and vulnerability management for organizations that need full coverage without building that capability internally. We also offer incident response retainers staffed by leading industrial responders, and proactive assessments to strengthen posture and prepare for what’s ahead.

And behind it all is deep practitioner experience built by people who have spent their careers securing critical infrastructure environments. That expertise is woven throughout our platform, intelligence, and services, helping organizations strengthen resilience and stay ahead of evolving threats.

Wherever you are in your OT security journey, the right visibility and context can make all the difference. If you’d like to see how Dragos helps organizations protect critical operations, we’d be happy to set up a personalized demo and walk through it with you.
