Before ending the post, my opinion about Dragos.
Both the company and business seem to be promising. Has an absolutely amazing set of financial backers in the form of BlackRock, Koch, and so many more. It’s a great advantage when you need to get some big size and financially deep-pocketed clients. On top of all this, Dragos seems to be run and managed by people who know Industrial Cybersecurity in a very clear manner.
Also, the Cybersecurity space on a global scale is only going to grow from now because of how many problems are yet to be addressed and solved in that particular category.
Kudos to Dragos on their recent funding round and hope they do well in the upcoming years too.
Thank you for reading this, and God Bless Everyone.
