Expansion of partnership ecosystem to strengthen cybersecurity in the OT and ICS area for Korean customers
Doosan Digital Innovation (Justin Park, CEO of DDI) has partnered with Phosphorus (CEO Chris Rouland), a global xIoT cybersecurity company, to strengthen its operational technology (OT) security ecosystem and provide OT security solutions to Korean enterprises. Phosphorus is a global xIoT cybersecurity company providing unified security management and breach prevention for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) across all major industries.
Phosphorus, a company headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S., provides an agentless, software-based Cyber-Physical System (CPS) Protection Platform that directly communicates with all xIoT devices in their native protocols. The platform analyzes device vulnerabilities such as outdated firmware, default passwords, expired/self-signed certificates, and insecure configurations to prevent security breaches on xTended Internet of Things devices – including IoT, OT, IIoT, and IoMT devices – and helps strengthen security with proactive and self-corrective xIoT remediation, hardening, and monitoring. Last year, Phosphorus was listed as one of the “50 Most Promising Startups” selected by the American IT media outlet, ‘The Information’.

This partnership is part of the ‘Lighthouse Strategy’ to expand the know-how it has built and operated in global Doosan Group companies to external businesses. Following the partnership for IT security with Cybereason in 2021, the company expanded its scope to OT security with Claroty, a global OT security company, in September of this year. Through its partnership with Phosphorus, Doosan is strengthening its OT cybersecurity partner ecosystem to provide a secure OT and xIoT environment to various customers in Korea through an exclusive partner agreement.
Phosphorus CEO, Chris Rouland, said, “Through our collaboration with Doosan Digital Innovation, we are empowering businesses with greater xIoT visibility, management, and breach prevention capabilities in their critical OT environments. This improved protection is urgently needed at a time when Cyber-Physical System vulnerabilities are dramatically increasing, and threat actors are becoming more sophisticated at targeting and exploiting these devices.”
