Dragos and Sekuro announce new OT security partnership
The new operational technology partnership comes as attacks against Australia’s critical infrastructure increase.
Australian security company Sekuro has announced that it has formed a partnership with operational technology specialists Dragos, with the aim of boosting Sekuro’s OT security capabilities.
Under the partnership, Sekuro will become a “value-added reseller”, allowing it to use Dragos’ expertise to provide its clients with better vulnerability management, threat detection and asset visibility.
The partnership also allows Sekuro to offer a “converged dashboard” across IT and OT infrastructure, allowing customers to view all alerts in a single dashboard.
“The potential impact of OT attacks can be downright terrifying, however, anecdotally, we have observed low OT security maturity in Australia,” Sekuro CEO Noel Allnutt said in a statement.
“As IT and OT converge, our customers come to us for guidance on how to protect critical infrastructure. While there are unique challenges and requirements for OT and critical infrastructure environments, Dragos now strengthens our capabilities and will improve operational continuity and security.
“As an end-to-end cybersecurity and digital transformation consultancy, our holistic approach has allowed us to build the leading enterprise platform for OT convergence. Sekuro is partnering with Dragos due to its unrivaled reputation as a leading OT security technology provider with unparalleled experience and expertise on the front lines of OT security incidents. The Dragos platform provides superior visibility and insights, and Dragos is the only provider providing services to upskill customers and partners.”
Hayley Turner, APAC vice president at Dragos, said the partnership is good for both companies.
“The partnership between Dragos and Sekuro is well aligned with our mission to Safeguard Civilization,” Turner said.
“Together, Sekuro and Dragos bring world-class technology and expertise in the OT domain along with Sekuro’s deep experience in the enterprise IT landscape for a holistic approach to organizational cybersecurity. “We share Sekuro’s dedication to reducing cyber risk and building business resilience for industrial organizations.”
