Accenture is making a $4 billion push into industrial cybersecurity, acquiring a majority stake in Dragos and buying two other security firms outright as businesses race to secure the physical systems that keep economies online.

The transactions, which also include runZero, a firm that scans companies for vulnerabilities, and software supply-chain security firm NetRise, create one of the largest players in the operational technology, or OT, security market. The deals significantly expand Dublin-headquartered Accenture’s cyber footprint, building on its current $10 billion global cybersecurity business.
