Dragos opens office in Dubai to meet industrial cybersecurity needs

Dragos, Inc. announced an accelerated expansion in the United Arab Emirates to give organizations in the region more direct access to its industrial cybersecurity technology and services. This enables organizations to respond to threats faster while also developing and training ICS/OT cybersecurity talent to ensure global customer success. The expansion will entail the opening of a new office in Dubai in Q1 2022.

“Many industrial organizations in the UAE are leading the way with digital transformation and recognizing that ICS/OT cybersecurity is more critical than ever in a hyperconnected world,” said Robert M. Lee, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Dragos, Inc.

He added, “We are excited to make ICS/OT cybersecurity expertise and technology more accessible to organizations in the UAE as well as to partner with organizations and local ICS/OT cybersecurity practitioner communities here to help grow a needed pool of talented cybersecurity practitioners.”

The development is in line with the UAE’s Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority’s cybersecurity plan. Dragos caters to the growing global market for ICS/OT cybersecurity solutions, meeting the needs of critical infrastructure enterprises of all sizes and complexity in all countries.

Dragos is already safeguarding a number of enterprises’ industrial environments in the UAE, allowing them to maintain complete asset visibility, assess OT-specific risks and vulnerabilities, and respond to threats based on the most up-to-date threat data. Dragos allows them to reduce risk to plant operations and improve security while also complying with regulatory standards.
