CAV AND DRAGOS PARTNER TO AUTOMATE COMPLIANCE AND ACCELERATE AUTHORITY TO OPERATE (ATO) FOR OPERATIONAL TECHNOLOGY

Press ReleaseAugust 5, 2026

New integration brings Dragos OT asset and vulnerability intelligence directly into the Cav platform, giving critical infrastructure and defense operators continuous risk management across 50+ regulatory frameworks.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — [August 5th, 2026] — Cav, a leader in continuous cyber assurance automation, today announced a partnership and technology integration with Dragos, Inc., the leading provider of cybersecurity for extended operational technology (xOT) environments. The integration enables organizations that run critical infrastructure — from electric and water utilities to defense installations and maritime fleets — to translate Dragos's deep xOT situational awareness directly into continuous compliance evidence, dramatically accelerating the path to and maintenance of an Authority to Operate (ATO).

Operators of OT and industrial control systems face a growing burden: they must secure highly sensitive physical infrastructure while simultaneously ensuring operational resilience and also satisfying an expanding set of regulatory requirements.. Historically, the security data needed to prove compliance and the compliance workflows themselves have lived in separate systems, forcing teams into slow, manual, and error-prone reconciliation. This partnership closes that gap.

HOW THE INTEGRATION WORKS

Through the integration, Cav ingests both asset inventory and vulnerabilities — captured as findings — from the Dragos Platform. The integration supports both Dragos deployment models: Dragos SiteStore, which detects inventory and findings at an individual site such as a substation, plant, base, or ship; and Dragos CentralStore, which consolidates data across many sites for an enterprise-wide view.

Once Dragos data is in the Cav platform, the full range of Cav capabilities applies. Organizations can:

Include Dragos-discovered inventory detail within defined security boundaries (applications)
Automatically map Dragos findings to the controls and sub-controls of any of Cav's 50+ supported regulations
Prioritize, contextualize and organize remediation work on findings
Accelerate ATOs by bringing Dragos evidence directly to the controls it satisfies
Generate the reports required by regulators and authorizing officials
Maintain continuous risk assessment by refreshing Dragos data on the customer's chosen schedule

The result is a single, continuously updated system of record in which xOT security findings and compliance obligations are always reconciled, thereby reducing the manual effort behind every audit and shortening the timeline to authorization.

AVAILABILITY

The Cav–Dragos integration is available now.
