Ordr Recognized in Gartner Market Guide for CPS Protection Platform Read more here!

Every second, another 127 devices connect to the Internet. That’s 328 million “things” per month. By 2025, we’ll see 75 billion connected devices.

Our mission is to make the connected world a safer place.

We want to give every organization peace of mind that they can effectively manage and secure the explosive growth of connected devices in their environment.

We’re focused on making connected device security simple through our zero touch agentless deployment, one common platform for multiple stakeholders, and automation of policies to secure devices. With Ordr, you will see exactly what’s connected to the network, in real time, all the time. You will know what’s vulnerable, what’s behaving maliciously and why. You can then automate policies to secure every connected device, enforced on existing networking and security infrastructure.

See. Know. Secure, every connected device everywhere.

Bring “Ordr” to the chaos and complexity of  securing connected devices  — from traditional IT devices to newer and more vulnerable IoT, IoMT or OT — today.
