Iron Net and Dragos Launch Joint Initiative to Provide Integrated Cybersecurity Protection for Critical Infrastructure
Summary: IronNet Cybersecurity and Dragos announced on May 13, 2021 a joint initiative to integrate IronNet's IronDome threat intelligence sharing solution with Dragos's Neighborhood Keeper, aiming at an integrated IT-OT approach to critical infrastructure security. The companies said threat actors are using IT vulnerabilities as an entry point to OT, citing the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack as an example of OT disruption originating in IT systems.
What's compelling: The partners' own framing is that attacks on IT systems are now the path into operational technology, so a security leader whose IT and OT defenses are run as separate programs has a gap that nation-state adversaries and ransomware operators are already using.
