Frenos Establishes Advisory Board, Welcomes Robert M. Lee as First Member

Leading industrial cybersecurity expert and thought leader joins Frenos to help steer the future of critical infrastructure protection.

CHARLOTTE, NC – September 24, 2024 – Frenos, the continuous attack surface mitigation platform, today announced the establishment of its advisory board and the appointment of its first member, Robert M. Lee, CEO and Co-founder of Dragos Inc., a global leader in industrial cybersecurity. Dragos Inc. specializes in safeguarding industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT) environments from cyber threats. Under Robert's leadership, Dragos has raised over $430 million in venture capital to date and became the first ICS/OT cybersecurity unicorn with a valuation of $1.7 billion.

Robert M. Lee's background in building organizations and helping asset owners protect OT environments brings invaluable expertise to Frenos as it revolutionizes how critical infrastructure organizations manage cybersecurity risks.

"As our world becomes more digital and automated, while our adversaries become more adept at targeting its vital systems, it is more important than ever to protect our critical infrastructure. Frenos and the team behind it are addressing a vital problem where security teams have deployed security tools but lack the insights to make the best choices with their limited resources," said Robert M. Lee. He added, "Frenos is a company that's hitting a crucial problem at exactly the right time. The team behind it are security practitioners who have been responsible for protecting some of the world's most critical infrastructure. They understand the problem because they've lived it and put together a solution that will feel to many as a must-have."

The formation of the advisory board marks a key milestone in Frenos' mission to provide a next-generation approach to securing critical infrastructure. By combining continuous attack simulations with proactive mitigation strategies, Frenos enables organizations to make real-time, informed decisions that shift them from a reactive to a proactive security posture.

Brian Proctor, CEO of Frenos, welcomed Robert to the board, stating:
"We are honored to have Rob join our advisory board as its first member. His expertise and leadership in industrial cybersecurity align perfectly with our mission to help organizations proactively protect their most critical assets. Rob’s guidance will be instrumental as we build the next generation of OT security technology that will fundamentally change how critical infrastructure security teams defend their OT and ICS environments.

As Frenos continues to push the boundaries of cybersecurity for critical infrastructure, the appointment of Robert M. Lee to the advisory board solidifies the company's commitment to delivering innovative, proactive solutions to the industries most at risk.
