Dragos Buys ICS Firm with US Dept. of Energy Roots
NexDefense ICS security tool will be offered for free by Dragos.

ICS security firm Dragos has acquired NexDefense, a pioneer security vendor in the industrial sector.
Dragos now is offering for free NexDefense's continous monitoring and asset discovery tool for ICS/SCADA networks, which was developed as "Sophia" by the US Department of Energy at the Idaho National Laboratory in 2010 and 2011. Sophia was later updated and commercialized by NexDefense, which renamed the product "Integrity."
