Company attributes high growth to the global need for visibility, detection, and response capabilities to secure industrial operations and critical infrastructure

HANOVER, Md.--()--Dragos, Inc., the global leader in cybersecurity for industrial controls systems (ICS)/operational technology (OT) environments, today announced it ranked 45 on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech, and energy tech companies in North America, now in its 27th year.

Robert M. Lee, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Dragos, credits the high growth to the increasing global awareness among corporate leaders and government officials of the importance of OT cybersecurity to critical infrastructure and other industrial organizations. "We are honored to be recognized by Deloitte for being one of the fastest growing companies in North America in 2021. As our world’s infrastructures and industrial automation environments become more connected and more complex, OT cybersecurity that includes OT-specific approaches and expertise is increasingly urgent. Our company’s success is only possible because of our customers and partners who work relentlessly to secure the critical infrastructure that enables our daily lives,” said Lee.

“Each year the Technology Fast 500 shines a light on leading innovators in technology and this year is no exception,” said Paul Silverglate, vice chair, Deloitte LLP and U.S. technology sector leader. “In the face of innumerable challenges resulting from the pandemic, the best and brightest were able to pivot, reinvent and transform and grow. We celebrate the winning organizations and especially the talented employees driving their success.”

“The pandemic has underscored the urgent need for tech solutions in a variety of areas across health care, fintech, energy tech, entertainment, to name a few, so reliance on innovators like the winners of the Technology Fast 500 is more important than ever,” said Christie Simons, partner, Deloitte & Touche LLP and industry leader for technology, media and telecommunications within Deloitte’s audit & assurance practice. “These companies are not only at the cutting edge, transforming the way we do business, but most importantly, recognize the strategic importance of ongoing innovation, especially in the ever-changing world of technology.”
