About
At Dispel, we are at the forefront of cybersecurity innovation, revolutionizing how industrial organizations protect their critical infrastructure. Founded in 2015, our groundbreaking approach centers on Moving Target Defense, a technology designed to outpace and neutralize cyber threats before they can impact operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS). Through our advanced platform, we provide Zero Trust Access solutions, including Zero Trust Remote Access and Data Streaming, that are transforming sectors such as manufacturing, utilities, building management, and government. Our commitment to innovation is demonstrated by our continuous development of cutting-edge capabilities, such as our NIST 800-53 compliant features, setting new industry standards for security and resilience. We empower Fortune 500 companies across diverse industries like food & beverage, automotive, and energy to safeguard their operations and maintain efficiency in an increasingly interconnected world. Dispel's core mission is to connect people to their industrial control systems, wherever they are, with unparalleled security and ease of use. Our all-in-one remote access software simplifies the complexities of managing, controlling, and auditing access for both internal operators and third-party vendors. By unifying OT DMZ and streamlining cybersecurity frameworks, we enable rapid implementation and intuitive operation, allowing organizations to modernize their industrial control systems effectively. We actively collaborate with leading industry bodies like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the NATO Industrial Advisory Group (NIAG) to contribute our expertise and advance cybersecurity practices globally. Through these collaborations and our relentless pursuit of technological excellence, Dispel is dedicated to making critical infrastructure safer and more resilient against evolving cyber threats, ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of the systems that society relies upon.
