Company
Forged By OT For OT
Frenos was born from a simple truth: the best solutions for protecting critical infrastructure come from those who've lived in the trenches. Our founding team brings together an extraordinary confluence of expertise with over 50 years of hands-on OT security experience combined with 30+ years of offensive cybersecurity mastery. This unique blend of defensive wisdom and adversarial thinking drives everything we build.
Our founders aren't consultants who studied OT from afar. One is a former Fortune 500 cybersecurity architect who spent two decades securing the critical systems that power our society. The other is an ex-malware developer turned AI/ML leader who helped shape security innovation at industry giants like Dragos and AWS. Together, they recognized that traditional security approaches were failing the very infrastructure our world depends on.
Our Mission
We exist to secure the critical infrastructure that underpins modern civilization. Every day, we share hard-won experiences from decades in the field, pushing the boundaries of OT security innovation to protect today's operations against tomorrow's threats. We believe that those responsible for keeping the lights on, water flowing, and production lines running deserve security tools built by people who understand the unique challenges they face.
Why We're Different
Unlike solutions designed in IT boardrooms and forced into OT environments, Frenos was architected from the ground up with operational technology in mind. We know that in OT, uptime isn't just a metric but a mandate. A single misconfigured security scan can shut down a power plant. One wrong packet can halt a production line. That's why we pioneered our digital twin approach, enabling comprehensive security assessments without ever touching live systems.
Forged by OT For OT isn't just a tagline. It's our DNA. It's the difference between theory and practice, between academic exercises and real-world resilience. When you work with Frenos, you're partnering with a team that's been where you are, faced what you face, and built the solution we wished we'd had.
