Fulton-based cybersecurity company raises $1.2 million

The seed round will help Dragos Security build tools to protect critical infrastructure.

Fulton-based cybersecurity startup Dragos closed a $1.2 million seed round this week.

The money was raised from DataTribe, a “startup studio” that launched this summer in the Howard County city.

The startup was founded by CEO Robert M. Lee, Jon Lavender and Justin Cavinee, who met while working in the U.S. intelligence community, according to a press release. They established a mission that sought to identify nation-states carrying out attacks and cyber espionage against critical infrastructure, which is defined as essential systems that provide electricity, drinking water, transportation and other key functions.
