Dragos Announces OT Cybersecurity Community Defense Program in Canada

Summary: Dragos announced on March 25, 2025 that its Community Defense Program is now available in Canada, giving perpetually free access to the Dragos Platform and Neighborhood Keeper to Canadian water, electric, and gas providers with under roughly $140M CAN in annual revenue. The program launched in the U.S. in December 2023 and scales in Canada partly through a partnership with Elastic, which provides Elasticsearch at no charge; Dragos OT-CERT adds free guides, training, tabletop exercises, and webinars, and has over 2,400 members in 64 countries.

Bottom line: Small utilities that deliver water and power often lack the budget to defend their operational environments against hacktivists, ransomware gangs, and state-sponsored groups, and this program draws its eligibility line at about $140M CAN in annual revenue.
