Dragos Debuts OT-Native AI, Bolstering Industrial Cybersecurity with Decade-Plus Expertise

Dragos Inc., a leader in industrial cybersecurity, has introduced EmberAI, a groundbreaking operational technology (OT)-native artificial intelligence solution aimed at revolutionizing the protection of critical infrastructure. Unveiled on June 23, 2026, and widely reported on July 27, 2026, EmberAI is built upon the extensive Dragos Intelligence Fabric, which comprises over a decade of OT-specific cybersecurity data, threat intelligence, and frontline operational expertise. EmberAI is designed to empower security analysts, regardless of their experience level, by providing immediate access to comprehensive insights into assets, vulnerabilities, and network activity within OT environments. It helps teams to prioritize threats based on their potential operational impact, moving beyond generic IT security metrics to focus on what truly matters for industrial control systems, power grids, manufacturing plants, and water systems. A key differentiator of EmberAI is its "human in the loop" design principle, ensuring that analysts retain control over final decisions while benefiting from AI-driven guidance. The system offers a natural language interface, allowing users to ask questions in plain English and receive precise, contextual answers derived from Dragos's vast dataset. This capability significantly reduces investigation times and helps bridge the gap between abstract threat intelligence and concrete operational actions. By integrating adversary tracking, vulnerability research, detection engineering, and incident response insights, EmberAI creates a continuously updating loop of intelligence. This enables organizations to proactively identify and mitigate risks, enhance their overall security posture, and ensure the safe and reliable operation of their industrial environments in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
