Dragos Platform is cybersecurity software for extended operational technology and critical infrastructure environments. It inventories assets across OT, IT, IoT and IIoT, and supports active and passive monitoring across more than 600 industrial and IT protocols. Its threat detection uses OT-specific protocols, behavior and threat intelligence. The Now, Next, Never framework helps teams prioritize vulnerability risk by operational impact. Response features include expert-authored playbooks, case management and AI-powered investigation; Dragos states that incident response is backed by an SLA within one hour. EmberAI is described as trained on the Dragos Intelligence Fabric and more than five petabytes of OT telemetry and adversary research. The platform integrates with ServiceNow for asset discovery and vulnerability management, and with Microsoft Sentinel.

Dragos states that customer data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and that major releases receive third-party penetration testing at least annually. Pricing is on request.

Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity Platform (KICS) is an XDR platform for protecting critical infrastructure across industrial OT and IoT environments. It covers converged, distributed, air-gapped and legacy systems, with Linux, Windows and web platforms listed. KICS tracks connected devices and configurations, maps network connections and analyzes data flows. It assesses vulnerabilities and security-setting changes on hosts, network devices and controllers; security-audit tools include vulnerability scanning, compliance auditing and configuration-change monitoring. Detection and response features connect host and network activity into incidents, add alert context, and support manual actions and network-access restriction. Asset management includes extended host monitoring, hardware and application inventories, and blind-area coverage in spanless mode. KICS is designed to preserve process integrity and availability while minimizing false detections. It supports passive monitoring, OT asset discovery and SIEM integration, and is compatible with more than 200 industrial control systems and devices. Deployment is on premises, and pricing is available on request. Kaspersky offers premium support from certified engineers in over 200 countries.
