xOT Security: The New Standard for OT Defense
Summary: Dragos introduced xOT, a framework it defines as the full operational technology environment - every system that influences a physical process, including OT, IT, IoT, and IIoT assets. The Dragos Platform discovers, classifies, and monitors those assets using passive-first discovery with targeted active collection, and adds binary analysis of open-source components in OT device software, automated password, firmware, certificate, and configuration management, and threat intelligence grounded in over a decade of OT incident and research.
Why it matters: The pitch rests on a gap Dragos states plainly: most programs see only a fraction of what keeps the business running, and default passwords, outdated firmware, and drifting configurations across tens of thousands of devices are more than any team can fix by hand.
