Industrial Defender Honored with Two Global InfoSec Awards from Cyber Defense Magazine

Recognized for Leadership in FERC/NERC CIP Compliance and OT Asset Visibility

Foxborough, Mass. Foxborough, Mass. – Industrial Defender, the OT cybersecurity and compliance platform trusted by critical infrastructure since 2006, has been named a winner in two categories at the 2025 Global InfoSec Awards, presented by Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM)—the industry’s leading electronic information security publication:

  • Publisher's Choice: FERC/NERC CIP Compliance
  • Publisher's Choice: OT Asset Visibility

Now in its 12th year, the Global InfoSec Awards honor the most innovative and valuable cybersecurity companies from around the world. Industrial Defender’s recognition underscores its continued leadership in supporting critical infrastructure operators with advanced tools for managing cyber risk, securing operational environments, and simplifying compliance.

“These awards reflect the real-world value we deliver to customers managing some of the most demanding cybersecurity and regulatory environments in the world,” said Ray Lapena, Vice President of Marketing at Industrial Defender. “We’ve built our platform to serve the unique needs of OT and critical infrastructure teams—providing deep asset visibility, secure configuration monitoring, and automation that makes compliance more manageable and security more effective.”

Industrial Defender’s platform combines passive and active data collection techniques to provide a complete picture of the OT environment, going beyond traditional network monitoring to include rich, contextual asset information—such as configurations, vulnerabilities, patch status, and policy compliance.

The company’s latest platform release also introduced major enhancements to risk scoring, threat intelligence, and out-of-the-box compliance reporting for frameworks such as NERC CIP, TSA Security Directives, AESCSF, Saudi Arabia’s OTCC, and the EU’s NIS2 directive.

As a U.S.-owned, U.S.-developed, and vendor-agnostic platform built exclusively for OT, Industrial Defender remains a trusted partner to critical infrastructure operators working to strengthen cybersecurity and maintain regulatory readiness.
