Dragos Acquisition

Dragos was acquired by Accenture for $4.2B on 17 June 2026.

The acquisition price implies a 20.1x revenue multiple on $208M of revenue.

Before the acquisition Dragos had raised $432M across 6 funding rounds.

Accenture acquired a majority stake in Dragos at a $3.25 billion valuation, along with 100% of runZero and NetRise, for a combined enterprise value of $4.175 billion. The deal, announced June 18, 2026, is expected to close in August or September 2026 following regulatory approvals. Dragos, runZero, and NetRise are estimated to generate approximately $208 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) as of June 2026, representing 53% year-over-year growth. This acquisition strengthens Accenture’s operational technology (OT) cybersecurity offerings for critical infrastructure sectors, including power grids, pipelines, and manufacturing facilities. Dragos will continue to function as an independent business post-merger, while runZero and NetRise will merge with Dragos. The combined entity becomes the highest-valued OT cybersecurity business in history, leveraging Accenture’s $70 billion services scale for cross-sell distribution and global reach.

DateStageInvestorsRaisedValuationDeal Summary
Sep 2023Series DWestcap (lead)$74M$1.7BDragos, Inc. is the global leader in cybersecurity for industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT) environments. The company provides a threat-detection platform offering asset discovery, behavioral threat detection, incident response, and global intelligence to protect critical infrastructure across industries including electric, oil and gas, chemical, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, water, transportation, mining, and building automation. The company had approximately 355 employees as of December 2022 and served around 400 organizations and governments as customers. On September 18, 2023, Dragos raised $74 million in Series D extension funding led by WestCap, a strategic operating and investing firm. This extension brought the total Series D round to $274 million (combining the original $200 million Series D from October 2021 with the $74 million extension), and increased total capital raised to approximately $440 million. The post-money valuation remained unchanged at $1.7 billion, the same valuation established in the original October 2021 Series D led by Koch Disruptive Technologies and BlackRock. The original Series D round in October 2021 included investors such as Emerson, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Allegis Cyber, Canaan, DataTribe, Energy Impact Partners, National Grid Partners, Schweitzer Engineering Labs, Global Reserve Group, and Rockwell Automation. According to Frost & Sullivan, the global industrial cybersecurity market was projected to reach $10.2 billion by 2025 from $3.3 billion in 2020, representing exponential growth at a compound annual growth rate of 25.3 percent. The funding was intended to support additional go-to-market initiatives and accelerated expansion in key markets across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
Oct 2021Series DBlackRock (lead); Koch Disruptive Technologies (lead)$200M$1.7BDragos, an industrial cybersecurity company founded in 2016 and based in Hanover, Maryland, specializes in protecting operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS) across sectors like electric utilities, oil and gas, manufacturing, water, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage. The company provides a platform for visibility, detection, and response to cyber threats in critical infrastructure environments, serving customers including Koch Industries and Georgia-Pacific. Dragos employs around 362 people and protects a significant portion of the U.S. electric grid. On October 28, 2021, Dragos raised $200 million in a Series D funding round co-led by Koch Disruptive Technologies and BlackRock (specifically BlackRock Enhanced funds and accounts), marking the largest funding round and highest valuation for an OT cybersecurity company at $1.7 billion post-money. Other participants included Emerson, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Allegis Cyber, Canaan, DataTribe, Energy Impact Partners, National Grid Partners, Schweitzer Engineering Labs, Global Reserve Group, and Rockwell Automation. This brought total funding to $364.2 million across eight rounds, following a $110 million Series C in late 2020 also involving Koch. Proceeds will fuel global expansion into Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the U.K., deepen penetration in key verticals beyond electric utilities, and shift half of business to channel partners within two years. The round underscores investor confidence in Dragos' technology and market potential amid rising OT cyber threats and increasing connectivity in industrial environments. The unicorn status positions Dragos as a leader in the booming OT cybersecurity market, with potential future IPO considerations.

In December 2020, Dragos announced a $110 million Series C funding round co-led by National Grid Partners and Koch Disruptive Technologies, bringing total funding to $158 million. The round also included investors Saudi Aramco Energy Ventures (SAEV), Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), and existing investors including Allegis Cyber, Canaan, DataTribe, Energy Impact Partners, and Schweitzer Engineering Labs. This Series C was described as the largest-ever investment in an ICS/OT cybersecurity company to date. The funding was intended to support expansion across electric, oil and gas, manufacturing, mining, chemicals, and transportation industries, and to accelerate global operations. At the time of the Series C, Dragos employed 220 people and had raised a total of $158 million across five funding rounds. The company later achieved unicorn status in a subsequent Series D round that valued the company at $1.7 billion with 100% year-over-year growth in annual recurring revenue as of September 30 of that later year.

This appears to be the Series B round, bringing total funding at the time to $48 million across three rounds, and the company employed more than 80 people then. Subsequent rounds included a Series C in December 2020 raising $122.8 million at a post-money valuation of $423.43 million, and a Series D in October 2021 raising $200-210 million at approximately $1.7 billion valuation, led by Koch Disruptive Technologies and BlackRock, with ongoing investors like Canaan, National Grid Partners, and Schweitzer Engineering Labs participating. A Series D extension in 2023 raised $74 million, maintaining the $1.7 billion valuation. Dragos has raised approximately $439 million in total funding to date, employing around 355 people as of late 2022, and focuses on expanding its platform for ICS/OT cybersecurity adoption globally.
