Dragos has expanded its Dragos Community Defense Program to help small water, gas, and electric utilities to protect their networks from advanced threats.
Threat actors are increasingly targeting critical infrastructure networks, and small utilities are outgunned when it comes to defending themselves against these attacks.
The program, which originally launched in 2022, is now expanding to allow water, electric, or natural gas utilities with under $100 million in annual revenue in United States.
Utilities owned by a parent company whose total revenue does not exceed $100 million can also take part.
The program gives under-resourced utilities access to Dragos products for free, namely the Dragos Platform software, enrollment into the Neighborhood Keeper service, membership in OT-CERT, and access to Dragos Academy for training materials.
Dragos Platform software provides operational technology network visibility and monitoring, including asset visibility and inventory, threat detection, vulnerability management, and threat hunting.
OT-CERT, which has over 1,500 members in 60 countries, provides free how-to guides and demonstration videos, best practices, training, interactive working sessions, tabletop exercises, and webinars to help members build upon their industrial cybersecurity expertise and improve their OT security skills.
