Dragos expands to protect xOT including OT systems and the billions of connected devices that have reshaped how critical infrastructure operates
HANOVER, Md., June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dragos, the global leader in cybersecurity for operational technology (OT) environments, today announced it has acquired Phosphorus, extending the Dragos Platform to protect the billions of connected devices embedded across critical infrastructure and other operational networks.
Operational environments have outgrown traditional OT boundaries. Power grids, pipelines, manufacturing facilities, and data centers now depend on an increasingly diverse mix of connected devices and digital systems. Traditional and non-traditional assets alike are woven throughout their operational environments. This expanded environment — OT systems and the billions of connected devices that have reshaped how critical infrastructure operates — is the Extended Operational Technology environment, or xOT. Adversaries are already operating across it. Defenders need a broader scope of visibility, intelligence, and control to defend it.
Dragos’s acquisition of Phosphorus reflects a deliberate strategy to protect the full operational environment as it exists and operates today. Dragos offers the industry’s most comprehensive OT cybersecurity platform. Adding Phosphorus extends Dragos capabilities to secure connected devices across the full xOT environment, delivering deeper device visibility, automated remediation, and continuous risk reduction.
“The connected devices you find everywhere in critical infrastructure are largely invisible to the cybersecurity programs that protect operational environments,” said Robert M. Lee, CEO and Co-Founder of Dragos. “With Phosphorus, we close that gap and secure xOT, the full environment that matters.”
“We built Phosphorus to solve the connected device problem — the unmanaged devices, the default credentials, the firmware no one was updating….
