Dragos announced on Tuesday the release of Dragos Platform 3.0, an updated version of its operational technology (OT) cybersecurity solution designed to provide faster, more accurate, and more efficient defenses for industrial organizations facing intensifying cyber threats.
The new release introduces the Insights Hub, a consolidated risk-based view of vulnerabilities, assets, and threats, alongside AI-powered vulnerability processes and flexible deployment options. Together, the release of Dragos Platform 3.0 aims to reduce the time-to-value for customers while lowering operating costs and improving security posture.
Addressing rising OT cyber risks
Industrial organizations are experiencing increasingly compressed attack timelines, with adversaries moving from reconnaissance to disruption in weeks or even days. According to Dragos’s 2025 OT Security Financial Risk Report, based on research with Marsh McLennan’s Cyber Risk Intelligence Center, business interruption from worst-case OT cyber incidents could put as much as $172.4 billion at risk globally each year. Indirect costs, such as reputational damage and supply chain impact, account for the majority of those losses.
Dragos Platform 3.0 is designed to meet this urgency by combining speed, intelligence, and expert-driven analysis. Alerts, detections, and recommendations are supported by Dragos OT threat intelligence, which incorporates AI models to accelerate vulnerability analysis and streamline back-end operations. The goal is to give defenders both confidence in the insights they receive and actionable guidance to address risks before they escalate.
Robert M. Lee, CEO and co-founder of Dragos, said the updates are focused on empowering defenders: “The latest updates to the Dragos Platform focus on giving industrial defenders the visibility, speed, and confidence they need to take action and reduce risk before incidents escalate.”
Key features and deployment flexibility
The centerpiece of Dragos Platform 3.0, the Insights Hub, consolidates alerts into a single prioritized view. Operators receive expert-authored recommendations that simplify triage and decision-making, allowing them to quickly determine the most critical actions.
AI-enhanced vulnerability processes are another cornerstone of the release. By applying artificial intelligence to the largest OT vulnerability dataset available, Dragos can accelerate analysis while maintaining contextual accuracy. The platform uses its “Now, Next, Never” prioritization methodology to help organizations focus on exposures that require immediate attention while filtering out less actionable alerts.
Dragos has also introduced new deployment models to improve accessibility for organizations of varying sizes. Smaller device footprints, including the STS-50 and a combined Sensor/SiteStore option, enable coverage of smaller or distributed sites without compromising performance. Expanded Active Collection further supports environments such as air-gapped or intermittently connected sites, extending visibility into areas traditionally difficult to monitor.
Additional updates include centralized sensor configuration and simplified integration with both OT and IT systems, reducing the operational burden of managing cybersecurity infrastructure.
For organizations seeking fully managed protection, Dragos continues to offer OT Watch Complete. This managed service provides 24/7 monitoring, platform tuning, threat hunting, and investigation, either as a standalone offering or integrated into broader managed security operations.
Jodi Schatz, chief product officer at Dragos, emphasized that the release of Dragos Platform 3.0 was designed with customer needs in mind: “Every innovation—from the redesigned user experience, to the AI-enhanced vulnerability processes, to the Insights Hub—is designed to reduce the burden on security teams while increasing their effectiveness.”
Strengthening resilience across industries
Dragos Platform 3.0 reflects a broader industry push to equip defenders with the speed and intelligence required to respond to today’s evolving OT threats. With industrial operations spanning critical infrastructure, manufacturing, and energy, cybersecurity in this sector carries implications far beyond IT systems.
By enhancing visibility, automating vulnerability management, and streamlining workflows, Dragos Platform 3.0 aims to strengthen the operational resilience of industrial organizations and help them prepare for tomorrow’s challenges. The release underscores the company’s commitment to addressing not only the technical requirements of OT security but also the practical realities of managing cyber risk in complex industrial environments.
