Accenture Investment and Dragos Acquisitions
Accenture's majority investment in Dragos has officially closed. Following this, Dragos announced the completion of its acquisitions of NetRise and runZero. These actions are part of Accenture's previously announced $4.1 billion initiative focused on operational technology (OT) cybersecurity.
Expanded Platform Capabilities
The acquisitions enhance Dragos's existing OT asset visibility and threat detection platform. NetRise contributes firmware-level insights into device exposure and software supply chain visibility. runZero, founded by Metasploit creator HD Moore, adds asset discovery, exposure assessment, and attack surface intelligence to the platform.
Leadership and Independence
Dragos will continue to operate independently, with Robert M. Lee serving as CEO and now also as chairman of the board. New board members from Accenture will join, and Dmitri Alperovitch is returning to Dragos's board. Key executives from NetRise and runZero, including CEOs Thomas Pace and HD Moore, and NetRise CTO Michael Scott, are joining Dragos with their teams to lead platform integration efforts.
Strategic Importance
The combined capabilities aim to defend critical infrastructure sectors, such as electric, oil and gas, manufacturing, and data centers, against cyber threats. The acquisitions address the need to secure extended operational technology environments, referred to as xOT, by integrating exposure management and software supply chain security.
