Community Defense Program
Free access to Dragos OT cybersecurity technology for qualifying utility providers to better protect their communities from potentially destructive cyber attacks.
Why Dragos Community Defense?
We realize that small utilities and cooperatives don’t have the resources for OT cybersecurity that they require. That’s why we built the Community Defense Program (CDP). The CDP provides U.S. and Canada-based water, electric, and natural gas providers with less than $100M US in annual revenue free access to Dragos Platform software. These tools can help improve their security postures and reduce OT cyber risk.
