Accenture agreed on 18 June to take a majority stake in Dragos and to acquire runZero and NetRise in full, in transactions with a combined enterprise value of about $4.175bn.
Why Accenture plc is buying Dragos (majority stake), runZero and NetRise
Accenture said the combination would help operators of power grids, plants and other critical infrastructure see what is on their operational technology networks, understand what is running on those devices and respond to threats, as AI-driven attacks and geopolitical risk rise. runZero adds exposure assessment and attack-surface intelligence; NetRise adds software supply-chain data and firmware-level visibility.
Deal terms and financing
The majority-stake percentage in Dragos was not disclosed. runZero and NetRise were to operate under Dragos, led by co-founder and chief executive Robert M. Lee, and Dragos keeps its vendor-neutral approach.
Regulatory approvals and timing
Closing was subject to regulatory approvals and originally expected in August or September 2026. Accenture said NetRise closed on 31 July, the Dragos investment on 16 September and runZero on 17 September 2026; three Accenture executives joined Dragos's board.
Market context
Dragos employs about 580 people. SecurityWeek counted 37 cybersecurity deals announced in June 2026, of which Accenture's was the largest disclosed.
