Indurex named a Cool Vendor in the Gartner® Coolest Vendor Innovations in Cyber-Physical Systems Security
We believe this recognition reflects Indurex's work bringing Engineering Intelligence to the cyber physical systems (CPS) that underpin critical infrastructure
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Indurex, an artificial intelligence (AI) and cyber-physical systems (CPS) security company, today announced it has been named a Cool Vendor in the Gartner Coolest Vendor Innovations in Cyber-Physical Systems Security, 2026 report.
Indurex works with critical infrastructure operators across oil and gas, energy, utilities, manufacturing and data centres, sectors facing mounting challenges from IT-OT convergence, cyber sabotage, and cascading system failures.
We believe the recognition comes as industrial organisations increasingly look beyond network visibility toward the engineering and operational context required to understand the real-world impact of cyber events.
The missing layer:
Traditional OT security tools are largely designed to provide visibility into network-connected assets and activity. They are not designed to determine whether a protection relay setting has been modified, whether a safety interlock has been bypassed, or whether an engineering configuration has drifted from its approved baseline.
Indurex closes this gap with an AI-native, interoperable platform that unifies engineering context and cybersecurity intelligence—an approach the company calls Engineering Intelligence. SafeGuard AI™ ingests data from distributed control systems, safety instrumented systems, historians, and IT security tools, using AI agents to surface anomalies and engineering deviations that require attention. Human expertise remains central to the decision-making process, providing the wider operational, engineering, and safety context needed to act on those insights.
"Critical infrastructure operators now expect more from their security tools. They want to know whether their safety systems can still be trusted, and whether an engineering change is routine maintenance or the first step of an attack," said Jalal Bouhdada, Founder & CEO of Indurex. "We are proud to be recognised as a Cool Vendor in the Coolest Vendor Innovations in Cyber-Physical Systems Security, 2026. We will continue building Engineering Intelligence around the realities of industrial operations."
The platform also provides automated reporting and defensible evidence to support assessment of risk, control maturity and safety integrity against relevant cybersecurity and functional safety requirements, including IEC 62443, IEC 61511, NIS2, NIST CSF and NERC CIP. Indurex is built for this new era, treating safety, cybersecurity and operations as interdependent disciplines that must work in concert to achieve resilience.
