Indurex Earns Cool Vendor Status in Cyber-Physical Security Innovations

Indurex's Recognition as a Cool Vendor in Cyber-Physical Systems Security

In a significant achievement for the security sector, Indurex, a frontrunner in artificial intelligence and cyber-physical systems (CPS), has been recognized as a Cool Vendor in Gartner's 2026 Coolest Vendor Innovations in Cyber-Physical Systems Security report. This milestone underscores Indurex's commitment to enhancing the resilience and security of critical infrastructure, essential for industries such as oil and gas, energy, manufacturing, and more.

The evolving landscape of critical infrastructure has led operators to confront numerous challenges. Among these challenges are the integration of information technology and operational technology (IT-OT), increasing cyber sabotage, and the risk of cascading system failures. As these threats escalate, operators are seeking innovative solutions that go beyond traditional network visibility.

Indurex's approach focuses on filling the gaps left by conventional Operational Technology (OT) security tools, which often lack the capability to assess the integrity of safety systems and engineering configurations. The company introduces a novel concept known as Engineering Intelligence, which integrates cybersecurity with engineering context. This unique perspective allows operators to understand the real-world implications of cyber threats and the reliability of their safety systems.

Bridging the Gap with Engineering Intelligence

At the heart of Indurex's strategy is its AI-native platform, SafeGuard AI™, which unifies engineering context with cybersecurity intelligence. This platform can analyze data from various sources, including distributed control systems and IT security tools. By leveraging AI agents, SafeGuard AI™ can identify anomalies, deviations from engineering standards, and potential threats that may require immediate attention. This integration aims to keep human expertise at the forefront of decision-making, enabling operators to address concerns promptly and effectively.

Jalal Bouhdada, Founder and CEO of Indurex, shared insights on the recognition: "Critical infrastructure operators now expect more from their security tools. They want to ensure that their safety systems remain reliable and that engineering changes are scrutinized, irrespective of their perceived complexity. Our Cool Vendor status reflects our dedication to adapting to the realities of industrial operations and the evolving landscape of cybersecurity."

The platform extends its functionality by providing automated reporting and substantial evidence that supports assessments of risk, maturity of controls, and safety integrity. This is crucial for adhering to regulatory frameworks such as IEC 62443, IEC 61511, NIS2, NIST CSF, and NERC CIP. Furthermore, Indurex emphasizes that safety, cybersecurity, and operational integrity must work in concert, establishing a new paradigm for resilience in critical infrastructure operations.

In conclusion, Indurex's recognition as a Cool Vendor not only highlights its innovative approaches in addressing these mounting challenges but also marks a pivotal step in revolutionizing the security landscape for cyber-physical systems. With a focus on Engineering Intelligence and an unwavering commitment to improving the resilience of critical operations, Indurex is poised to lead the charge in safeguarding our essential infrastructures, ensuring they remain secure and functional in an increasingly digital world.
