Dragos has announced an expanded collaboration with Microsoft to deliver specialized operational technology (OT) cybersecurity at a global industrial scale. The integration will see the Dragos Platform available as a SaaS deployment on Microsoft Azure, natively integrated with Microsoft Sentinel for unified security operations, and accessible through the Microsoft Marketplace, helping organizations modernize and secure critical industrial assets.

  • Dragos expands collaboration with Microsoft for OT cybersecurity at scale.

  • The Dragos Platform will be available as SaaS on Microsoft Azure starting Q1 2026.

  • Native integration with Microsoft Sentinel unifies IT and OT security operations.

  • Procurement is streamlined via the Microsoft Marketplace with Azure consumption benefits.

  • The move addresses rising threats and the need for specialized industrial protection.

  • It supports sectors like energy, manufacturing, and utilities in secure digital transformation.

Addressing the Critical Gap in Industrial Security

As digital transformation, cloud adoption, and AI extend deeper into physical operations, the threat landscape for critical infrastructure is intensifying. Securing these cyber-physical systems requires OT-native capabilities that traditional IT security lacks. This collaboration directly addresses that gap by embedding Dragos's specialized visibility, threat detection, and intelligence into the Microsoft ecosystem that enterprises already use, enabling secure modernization without introducing operational risk.

Enabling Unified IT/OT Security Operations

A key outcome of the integration is the unification of security operations. By feeding OT-specific telemetry, asset context, and threat intelligence directly into Microsoft Sentinel, the collaboration allows security teams to monitor, detect, and respond to threats across both IT and OT environments from a single pane of glass. This breaks down operational silos and enables faster, more informed incident response for systems where safety and reliability are paramount.

Providing Flexible Deployment and Procurement

The collaboration offers flexible deployment options, including a new SaaS offering on Azure alongside existing on-premises and hybrid models. This caters to diverse customer infrastructure strategies. Furthermore, availability on the Microsoft Marketplace simplifies procurement, allowing organizations to leverage existing Azure consumption commitments (MACC) and align their OT security investments with broader cloud and AI initiatives.

"By deeply integrating the Dragos Platform across the Microsoft ecosystem, we’re enabling customers to pursue digital transformation with confidence," said Robert M. Lee, CEO of Dragos. The partnership establishes a scalable foundation for securing the interconnected future of industrial operations, combining Dragos's OT expertise with Microsoft's global cloud and security platform.

About Dragos
