Indurex Selected for Gartner " Cyber - Physical Systems Security " Cool Vendor "
The company believes that this recognition reflects its work in bringing “engineering intelligence” to the network physical systems that support critical infrastructure ( CPS ).
Amsterdam, October 1, 2026 / PRNewswire / -- Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) and Cyber-Physical Systems ( CPS ) security company Indurex announced today that the company has been listed in Gartner's report " Coolest Vendor Innovations in Cyber - Physical Systems Security , 2026" under the category of Cool Vendor.
Indurex provides services to operators of critical infrastructure such as oil and gas, energy, utilities, manufacturing, and data centers. These industries are facing increasingly severe challenges posed by IT-OT convergence, cyber sabotage, and cascading system failures.
The company believes that as industrial organizations increasingly seek the ability to go beyond network visibility in order to understand the impact of network events on the real world, this recognition has also followed.
The missing layer:
Traditional OT security tools are mostly designed to provide visibility into networked assets and activities, but they are not intended to determine whether protection relay settings have been modified, whether safety interlocks have been bypassed, or whether engineering configurations have deviated from their approved baselines.
Indurex fills this gap through a AI native and interoperable platform that unifies engineering context with network security intelligence – the company refers to this approach as Engineering Intelligence. SafeGuard AI ™ collects data from distributed control systems, safety instrument systems, historical databases, and IT security tools, and uses AI agents to identify abnormalities and engineering deviations that require attention. Human professional judgment remains at the core of the decision-making process, providing a broader operational, engineering, and security context for taking action accordingly.
Indurex, the founder and CEO, Jalal Bouhdada stated: "Critical infrastructure operators now have higher requirements for security tools. They want to know whether their security systems are still trustworthy and whether a single engineering change is just routine maintenance or the first step in an attack. We are proud to be recognized as the Cool Vendor in the 2026 Cyber - Physical Systems Security ' Coolest Vendor Innovations '. We will continue to build Engineering Intelligence around the realities of industrial operations."
The platform also provides automated reports and defensible evidence to support the assessment of risk, control maturity, and security integrity, in accordance with relevant network security and functional safety requirements, including IEC 62443, IEC 61511, NIS2, NIST CSF, and NERC CIP. Indurex embraces this new era by viewing security, network security, and operations as interdependent disciplines that must work together to achieve resilience.
