Darktrace recognized as the only Visionary in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for CPS Protection Platforms
In the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) Protection Platforms, Darktrace / OT has been recognized as the only Visionary for the second consecutive year.
This recognition reflects Darktrace / OT’s continued innovation, product strategy, and business momentum in the CPS security market. From providing automated investigations and bespoke risk management to flexible deployment, compliance alignment, and OT-specific workflows, Darktrace / OT is built to help organizations secure increasingly connected industrial environments.
We believe Gartner recognized Darktrace / OT for several key reasons:
- Reducing investigation effort with Self-Learning AI and Cyber AI Analyst
Detecting subtle threats across OT, IT, and IoT while accelerating triage and incident understanding.
- Going beyond CVE lists with bespoke risk management
Prioritizing what matters most through attack path modeling, exploitability context, and operational impact.
- Bringing unified visibility to converged environments
Connecting telemetry across OT, IT, IoT, and IoMT to reveal exposure, dependencies, and risk across the Purdue Model.
- Supporting the deployment realities of critical infrastructure
Enabling security across on-premises, hybrid, distributed, air-gapped, and operationally sensitive environments.
- Aligning CPS security with compliance and enterprise workflows
Extending OT security into governance, SIEM, SOAR, CMDB, firewall, and IEC-62443-aligned processes.
