Dispel sells the Dispel Zero Trust Engine to manufacturers, utilities and oil and gas companies. The software connects equipment vendors and plant staff to industrial control systems over network paths destroyed after each session. Founded in 2015, Dispel names Mitsubishi Electric Corporation and the vessel operator Seadrill as customers. Funding databases report different totals, with Tracxn listing $3 million from one round and Mandos $29.5 million from three priced rounds. Mandos also lists about 118 employees. NIST built Dispel into two test environments and documented how Dispel authenticates remote users. Industrial security vendors that integrate with Dispel, such as Nozomi Networks, could add remote access of their own and compete for the same industrial operators.

It defends conventional OT networks, devices, applications, and users and is mapped to the Cyber Defense Matrix. [f3]
How well the company can compete in its security market, scored across eight dimensions against public evidence.
| Dimension | Score | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Problem Clarity How precisely the company defines its problem, with evidence the problem exists at the scale claimed. | 4/5 | Dispel names its buyer, the industrial teams that connect vendors, contractors and staff to PLCs, HMIs and SCADA (s3). CISA reports that attacks compromised at least 75 Unitronics PLC devices across critical infrastructure sectors, with operational disruption and financial loss. CISA tells operators to broker remote access through a secure gateway (s34). NIST states in its SP 1800-10 guide that cyber attacks against ICS threaten operations and worker safety (s31). Two non-vendor sources quantify and describe the pain Dispel addresses. [s3, s34, s31] |
| Capability Depth How specific the technical capabilities are, with evidence beyond marketing claims such as docs and third-party validation. | 3/5 | Dispel documents its architecture in detail on its own pages, from single-use pathways destroyed at disconnect to on-premises Wicket gateways that enforce local controls (s2, s12). NIST built Dispel into two test environments for its SP 1800-10 guide but disabled the moving target rotation, so NIST did not test Dispel’s moving target defense (s31). Dispel has one credible independent implementation, short of the multiply corroborated validation rung 4 needs. [s2, s12, s31] |
| Market Timing Whether the market is ready for this product, with evidence that buyers are actively seeking solutions. | 3/5 | The reviewed sources document one independent buyer-side signal kind, a regulatory driver. CISA’s advisory AA26-097A of April 7, 2026 tells operators to route remote access to PLCs through a secure gateway that brokers the connection. Gartner’s 2026 Market Guide for CPS secure remote access reaches the record only through Dispel’s own release, so it does not add a second independent kind. [s34, s14] |
| Team Credibility Demonstrated domain expertise with public signals such as prior exits, publications, and industry recognition. | 3/5 | Co-founders Ethan and Ian Schmertzler lead Dispel as co-CEOs, and NIST’s SP 1800-10 guide lists Ian Schmertzler and Ben Burke as Dispel contributors to its industrial control system project. Dispel says Burke, now president, contributed to multiple NIST publications, and the reviewed sources document no prior founder exit or a publication record that independent sources confirm across several works. [s19, s31, s23] |
| GTM Proof Evidence of actual traction (customers, revenue signals, partnerships) beyond stated intentions. | 3/5 | Dispel names Mitsubishi Electric Corporation as a customer that integrated its factory automation equipment with the Dispel Zero Trust Engine, and its Seadrill case study describes crews monitoring vessels remotely. Nozomi Networks announces the certified integration on its own newsroom. Dispel’s releases quote ABB and Mitsubishi Electric managers on their partnerships, but no independent source in the record corroborates the customers or Dispel’s scale figures. [s26, s3, s4, s17, s27] |
| Funding Efficiency Whether funding matches go-to-market ambition, with signs of capital-efficient growth. | 2/5 | Tracxn and Mandos report conflicting funding. Tracxn lists $3M raised in one round, while Mandos lists $29.5M across three priced rounds with a Series B in February 2024, and no source in the record reconciles them. Dispel kept shipping, with Site Console and Dispel Identity launched in 2026, but the raise behind that output stays unverifiable amid conflicting reports. [s32, s33, s25, s16] |
| Category Clarity Whether the company creates or fits a recognizable category that buyers can quickly place in their stack. | 4/5 | NIST and Biometric Update place Dispel in OT remote access. NIST’s practice guide describes it as a remote access tool for OT environments, and Biometric Update covers its identity product as OT remote access. Dispel also reports that Gartner named it a Representative Vendor in the 2026 Market Guide for CPS secure remote access and a 2025 Cool Vendor in cyber-physical systems security. [s31, s30, s14, s9] |
| Incumbent Defensibility How vulnerable the core value proposition is to absorption as a feature by a platform vendor. | 3/5 | Wicket gateways enforce local security controls, and Dispel integrates with OT security products. Customers could need to reconfigure those connections when replacing Dispel. The reviewed sources document no data flywheel or other structural moat that bundling could not eventually reproduce. [s12, s2] |
Dispel sells OT secure remote access to industrial operators that must connect vendors, OEMs and their own staff to plant systems. Its pages target PLCs, HMIs and SCADA, and its Nozomi Networks release names manufacturing, utilities, water and wastewater, mining, and oil and gas.
CISA addresses the same problem in public guidance. CISA’s April 2026 advisory on attacks against internet-exposed PLCs tells operators to ensure all access is mediated, monitored and controlled through a secure gateway that brokers the connection. Dispel frames the pain as vendor access delays and audit cost, and it quantifies the audit savings on its own pages. [s3, s4, s34, s2]
The Dispel Zero Trust Engine is the company’s platform, combining secure remote access, industrial data streaming, session risk scoring and compliance evidence. Users connect through a browser, a virtual desktop or a local application, and Dispel describes each pathway as single-use and destroyed at disconnect.
Moving target defense is the distinctive mechanism. NIST’s SP 1800-10 guide describes the steady replacement of Dispel’s virtual machines across different hypervisors, regions and clouds, and NIST disabled that rotation in its own builds to keep IP addresses static.
Dispel added capabilities through 2026. It made Site Console generally available in June for fully on-premises deployments, and in August it launched Dispel Identity, which checks a government ID and a live face match before access. OTFusion consolidates OT applications across sites, and Wicket gateways connect each site to the platform. [s1, s2, s16, s31, s25, s30, s11, s12]
Dispel positions the Dispel Zero Trust Engine against jump servers, VPNs and IT privileged access tools. Its own comparison table also lists other OT secure remote access vendors as alternatives, and Dispel relays Gartner’s description of a diverse market shaped by differing architectural approaches.
Dispel markets moving target defense and deployment choice as its differences. It sells one platform for cloud-managed, on-premises and hybrid deployment, and its Site Console option targets NERC CIP-regulated utilities that need fully on-premises operation.
Dispel integrates with OT security vendors, including Nozomi Networks, Dragos, Armis and TXOne. Nozomi Networks describes itself as protecting the world’s critical infrastructure, so an integration partner already selling to Dispel’s operators could add remote access of its own. [s2, s14, s25, s4]
Dispel names customers on its own pages. It describes Mitsubishi Electric Corporation as a new customer that integrated its factory automation equipment with the Dispel Zero Trust Engine. Its Seadrill case study says crews no longer have to fly out to their vessels.
Dispel reaches industrial buyers through technology integrations and partnerships with automation vendors. Nozomi Networks announced a certified integration with Dispel at the S4x25 conference, and ABB signed a multi-year deal to deliver ABB Care remote services with Dispel’s technology. Dispel’s collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric Automation won a 2025 Control Engineering Product of the Year award.
Dispel expanded abroad and collected industry recognition. Dispel opened a European office in Cardiff, Wales in December 2025, won a 2026 Global InfoSec Award for secure remote access, and lists its government product on the FedRAMP Marketplace. [s26, s3, s4, s17, s27, s5, s7, s15]
Co-founders Ethan and Ian Schmertzler lead Dispel as co-CEOs, and the company named Benjamin Burke president in March 2026. Dispel says Burke contributed to multiple NIST publications and served as a group lead on NATO’s zero trust advisory group. NIST’s SP 1800-10 guide lists Ian Schmertzler and Ben Burke as Dispel contributors.
Dispel changed its engineering leadership in October 2026. Ken Young, who previously led engineering for an Azure-based detection and response service at NTT Security Holdings, became CTO, and founding CTO Chris DiLorenzo moved to a founding engineer role. [s19, s23, s31, s18]
Dispel publishes its security posture on a trust center page. The page states that Dispel is SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certified and that it undergoes regular independent penetration testing. Dispel runs single-tenant production environments for each customer, with rare stated exceptions.
Dispel’s trust page lists its FedRAMP High authorization as pending. In July 2026, Dispel said its government product was listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace while advancing toward FedRAMP 20x, with Class C targeted for August 2026. The reviewed sources do not document whether Dispel met that August target. [s10, s15]

press the advantage
Dispel builds moving target defense, which NIST’s practice guide describes as virtual machines steadily replaced on different hypervisors, regions and clouds. Google Patents lists Dispel among the current assignees of a granted US networking patent, and Dispel puts its portfolio at more than 43 patents. Its SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certifications are attainable by a funded rival, and its FedRAMP High authorization is listed as pending. Customers use Dispel’s gateways for remote access and local security controls. Customers could need to reconfigure those connections when replacing Dispel.
| Dimension | Score | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Value Delivery Does the product sell software as the product, or judgment, trust, or accountability with software as the delivery mechanism. | 1/3 | Customers run the Dispel Zero Trust Engine themselves, cloud-managed or on premises through Site Console, and Dispel sells support plans and add-on training around it. Dispel described a 24/7 managed threat monitoring service in December 2025. The cited pages do not document that service accepting accountability for customer outcomes. |
| Switching Cost How expensive leaving is for a customer: data portability, integrations, learned workflows, network effects, regulatory data residency. | 2/3 | Wicket gateways enforce local security controls, and Dispel integrates with OT security products. Customers could need to reconfigure those connections when switching. The cited record does not size that work. |
| Compliance Moat Whether certifications, liability acceptance, or audit trails block an easy replacement. | 1/3 | Dispel is SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certified, which a funded competitor can also obtain. Its trust page lists FedRAMP High as pending and its government product was advancing toward FedRAMP 20x in July 2026, and an authorization still in progress does not block a replacement. |
| Problem Complexity Whether the product requires ML, optimization, real-time systems, or years of specialized expertise. | 3/3 | NIST’s practice guide describes Dispel’s moving target defense networks as virtual machines steadily replaced on different hypervisors, regions and clouds. Dispel adds session risk scoring and access to more than 65,000 TCP/IP protocols, and rotating network infrastructure between remote sessions is real-time systems engineering that takes specialized expertise. |
| Buyer Profile Whether buyers are SMB operators, mid-market IT teams, or regulated enterprises and governments with procurement gates. | 3/3 | Dispel builds Site Console for NERC CIP-regulated utilities, lists its government product on the FedRAMP Marketplace, and names Mitsubishi Electric Corporation and Seadrill among its customers. Dispel builds and sells its product for regulated industrial operators and government agencies. |
| Layer Whether the product is an end-user application, a platform with application features, or infrastructure other applications depend on. | 3/3 | NIST documents Dispel’s remote access path as a virtual desktop that connects through a cloud Enclave to a Wicket gateway inside the OT network, with Dispel handling user authentication and authorization. Dispel describes the Wicket as an on-premises gateway that enforces local security controls, so customers depend on Dispel in operation for the remote access traffic routed through it. |
| Proprietary Data, Content, or IP Whether the product accumulates datasets, content licenses, or IP that a rival cannot recreate from scratch. | 2/3 | Google Patents lists Dispel LLC among the current assignees of granted US patent US11729138B1 on connecting private networks with conflicting IP addresses, and Dispel states it holds more than 43 patents. The reviewed sources document no way the patent stops rivals from building comparable remote access, and they document no dataset Dispel accumulates across customers. |
Dispel targets industrial and critical infrastructure operators. Its Nozomi Networks release names manufacturing, utilities, water and wastewater, mining, and oil and gas, and its 2026 launches add NERC CIP-regulated utilities and federal agencies as named buyers.
Dispel sells to two teams. Dispel pitches operations staff on vendor connections in under 30 seconds and fewer jump servers. It pitches security and compliance staff on session risk scoring and evidence aligned to NERC CIP, NIST and IEC 62443.
Its reach extends past the United States. Dispel opened a Cardiff, Wales office in December 2025 to give European customers local operations, implementation and customer success teams.
The Dispel Zero Trust Engine combines remote access, industrial data streaming, session risk scoring, compliance evidence and identity proofing. Dispel Intelligence scores each session from login to disconnect, and Biometric Update reports Dispel’s statement that Dispel Identity verifies people to NIST Identity Assurance Level 2 through an accredited provider.
Moving target defense is the core networking mechanism. NIST’s SP 1800-10 guide describes Dispel Enclaves as virtual machines steadily replaced on different hypervisors, regions and clouds, and Dispel says its infrastructure rotates between every session. Dispel ties its data streaming pitch to predictive maintenance and AI-powered productivity. The reviewed sources document no dataset Dispel accumulates across customers.
NIST tested the access architecture in its practice guide. NIST built Dispel into two test environments and documented user authentication and authorization through a virtual desktop, an Enclave and an on-site Wicket gateway. NIST disabled the rotation in those builds to keep IP addresses static. Nozomi Networks announced a certified integration with the Dispel Zero Trust Engine.
Dispel names customers and partners on its own pages. It describes Mitsubishi Electric Corporation as a new customer that integrated its factory automation equipment with the Dispel Zero Trust Engine. Its Seadrill case study says crews no longer have to fly out to their vessels.
Dispel reaches industrial buyers through technology integrations and partnerships with automation vendors. Nozomi Networks announced a certified integration at the S4x25 conference, and ABB signed a multi-year deal to deliver ABB Care remote services with Dispel’s technology. Dispel’s collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric Automation won a 2025 Control Engineering Product of the Year award.
Dispel expanded abroad and collected industry recognition. Dispel reports Gartner recognition as a Representative Vendor in the 2026 Market Guide for CPS secure remote access, opened a Cardiff office in December 2025, and won a 2026 Global InfoSec Award.
Dispel routes buyers to demos and sales contact. A request for dispel.com/pricing rendered the site’s 404 page, and the product pages end in demo and expert-contact buttons.
Dispel packages support in two tiers. Every subscription includes a Base plan with 9/5 support coverage, a Premium plan adds 24/7 support, and training and integration help are sold as add-ons. Dispel’s FedRAMP release says its platform has been observed to cut federal asset maintenance event costs by more than 80 percent.
Dispel deploys as a cloud-managed service, fully on premises through Site Console, or as a hybrid. Dispel says cloud deployments go live in three hours and scale to 100 sites in 90 days. Site Console runs all operations on the customer’s own site for NERC CIP-regulated and network-isolated environments.
Wicket gateways perform the on-site work. Wickets can deploy on premises, in the cloud or on IT systems, and each connects its installation to the platform and enforces local security controls. Wickets can also stream equipment data to cloud services, and Dispel offers hardware and software versions.
Dispel runs a single-tenant production environment for each customer, with rare stated exceptions. Its components send logs over syslog, which Dispel can forward to a customer’s SOC or SIEM.
Dispel publishes its security posture on a trust center page. The page states that Dispel is SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certified and that it undergoes regular independent penetration testing. Dispel runs single-tenant production environments for each customer, with rare stated exceptions.
Dispel’s trust page lists its FedRAMP High authorization as pending. In July 2026, Dispel said its government product was listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace while advancing toward FedRAMP 20x, with Class C targeted for August 2026. The reviewed sources do not document whether Dispel met that August target.
Dispel builds its ecosystem through OT security integrations. Its product page lists integrations with Nozomi, Dragos, Armis and TXOne, and Nozomi Networks announced a certified integration with the Dispel Zero Trust Engine.
ABB signed a multi-year partnership to use Dispel’s technology for ABB Care remote services. Mitsubishi Electric integrated the Dispel Zero Trust Engine into its factory automation and OT cybersecurity portfolio.
OTFusion extends the platform from access to site consolidation. Dispel describes it as a patented solution that unifies OT applications, operating systems and services across 10 to more than 100 sites.
Co-founders Ethan and Ian Schmertzler lead Dispel as co-CEOs, and the company named Benjamin Burke president in March 2026. Dispel says Burke contributed to multiple NIST publications. NIST’s SP 1800-10 guide lists Ian Schmertzler and Ben Burke as Dispel contributors.

This site is an experimental research aid created by Zeltser Security Corp. All its data gathering and analysis was performed autonomously without human review, and it can contain errors of fact, interpretation, and judgment that a human reviewer might catch.
The analyses are statements of opinion, not statements of fact. Machine analysis produced the scores, summaries, and matrix placements by weighing the public sources each page cites, and reasonable people can weigh the same sources differently. Where a page states a fact, it cites the public source and the date it was checked, and the statement is only as accurate as that source. Unless a profile expressly says otherwise, the analysis involves no hands-on testing and no independent validation of any company's products or services.
Nothing here is professional, security, legal, financial, investment, or purchasing advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to invest in, do business with, or avoid any company. Inclusion of a company is not an endorsement, and absence of a company is not a judgment about it. Reading this site creates no advisory or client relationship. Verify any detail you plan to act on against the vendor's current materials.
