Dragos Acquires Network Perception, Delivers the Industry’s Most Comprehensive Visibility of OT Environments
Dragos Inc., the global leader in cybersecurity for operational technology (OT) environments, announced the acquisition of Network Perception, makers of NP-View, an award-winning network visualization platform for OT networks. The acquisition will bolster the Dragos Platform with industry-leading OT network visibility along with compliance and segmentation analysis and reporting capabilities tailored to safeguard critical OT environments.
With the upcoming integration, the combined power of the Dragos Platform and NP-View will deliver dual-layer visibility into OT environments by revealing both real-time connections and potential pathways in a cohesive view. This will empower security teams to proactively defend against risks that are invisible to conventional solutions and for the first time fully map the intent versus reality of their network configurations, identifying key vulnerabilities along the attack path before they can be exploited.
In the future, through the integration of NP-View’s topology and firewall rules analysis into the Dragos Platform, customers will be able to map their OT environment network topology more effectively, decide where to place Dragos Platform network sensors, map vulnerabilities to attack paths, and evaluate configuration and policy drift. The dual layer visibility into what assets are communicating and what communication paths are possible will be a powerful security and compliance view of the OT environment. NP-View’s network segmentation capabilities will enhance Dragos’s strong defense mechanisms against lateral movement by adversaries within OT environments.
