PARIS, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — China-France cultural exchange has been enriched with new vitality as two events were held in Paris on May 29. Both events were supported by the Information Office of the People’s Government of Shaanxi Province, China. One was hosted by the Information Office of the People’s Government of Xi’an Municipality, and the other was co-hosted by the Information Offices of Xi’an and the People’s Governments of Tongchuan City.

The events drew more than 100 guests from various sectors, including Mehrdad Shabahang, Head of UNESCO’s Silk Roads Programme, and Marie-Pierre Boucher Hollier, special adviser to the UN World Tourism Organization.

At the “Silk Road Civilization: Tang Poetry Culture and Shaanxi Intangible Cultural Heritage Day” event held at UNESCO Headquarters that morning, representative works of Shaanxi intangible cultural heritage, including dough figurines, tie-dyeing, paper-cutting, and Yaozhou porcelain, were displayed, offering guests an immersive experience of the craftsmanship and cultural traditions of Shaanxi. During the event, Chinese and French guests engaged in discussions on “The Contemporary Value of Tang Poetry and Mutual Learning Between Chinese and French Cultures,” exchanging their views on the natural imagery and humanistic spirit reflected in Tang poetry, as well as the French literary and artistic treatment of nature and humanity. They also recited renowned Tang poems in both French and Chinese, filling the air with verse that transcended language barriers.

That afternoon saw the Shaanxi Culture Day and “Eternal Dialogue: Cultural Heritage Protection and Urban Renewal” Exhibition. Divided into three sections, “Deep Roots of Civilization,” “Safeguarding Cultural Heritage,” and “Renewal and Rebirth,” the exhibition highlighted preservation cases like Xi’an City Wall, Yaozhou Kiln and Yan’an revolutionary sites, and folk art innovations such as Huxian County peasant paintings and Fengxiang clay sculpture. In addition, the exhibition featured images documenting China-France cooperation since 2014 on restoration projects including Gongshutang painted murals, Maoling stone carvings, and Notre-Dame de Paris, highlighting the joint efforts of both countries to protect our shared cultural heritage.

Outside the venue, Paris residents and visitors were drawn to the vivid colors and rich imagery of farmers’ paintings from Huxian County. Many picked up brushes to add color to the artworks, resulting in a jointly created “China-France edition” blending elements of both cities’ farmers painting traditions. One Paris resident said, “The colors are captivating. Here in Paris, I’ve become part of an artwork from Xi’an.”

Dragos expands to protect xOT including OT systems and the billions of connected devices that have reshaped how critical infrastructure operates

HANOVER, Md., June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dragos, the global leader in cybersecurity for operational technology (OT) environments, today announced it has acquired Phosphorus, extending the Dragos Platform to protect the billions of connected devices embedded across critical infrastructure and other operational networks.

Operational environments have outgrown traditional OT boundaries. Power grids, pipelines, manufacturing facilities, and data centers now depend on an increasingly diverse mix of connected devices and digital systems. Traditional and non-traditional assets alike are woven throughout their operational environments. This expanded environment — OT systems and the billions of connected devices that have reshaped how critical infrastructure operates — is the Extended Operational Technology environment, or xOT. Adversaries are already operating across it. Defenders need a broader scope of visibility, intelligence, and control to defend it.

Dragos’s acquisition of Phosphorus reflects a deliberate strategy to protect the full operational environment as it exists and operates today. Dragos offers the industry’s most comprehensive OT cybersecurity platform. Adding Phosphorus extends Dragos capabilities to secure connected devices across the full xOT environment, delivering deeper device visibility, automated remediation, and continuous risk reduction.

“The connected devices you find everywhere in critical infrastructure are largely invisible to the cybersecurity programs that protect operational environments,” said Robert M. Lee, CEO and Co-Founder of Dragos. “With Phosphorus, we close that gap and secure xOT, the full environment that matters.”

“We built Phosphorus to solve the connected device problem — the unmanaged devices, the default credentials, the firmware no one was updating. Together with Dragos, we can solve it with a depth and scale that wasn’t possible before. That’s what the next generation of OT cybersecurity looks like,” said Sonu Shankar, President and COO of Phosphorus.

Phosphorus offers the industry’s most comprehensive discovery and remediation platform for connected devices, which integrates with customers’ existing infrastructure without requiring disruptive architectural changes. The platform actively discovers and provides deep visibility into devices across OT and enterprise environments, delivering detailed risk context and continuous situational awareness across the extended device landscape. Phosphorus automates remediation workflows, including password rotations, firmware updates, certificate management, and configuration hardening, while helping organizations address compliance and reduce risk at scale.

Dragos customers will gain expanded asset visibility and integrated device intelligence in the near term, with automated remediation workflows and a unified platform experience to follow.  Phosphorus customers will continue to be fully supported, with expanded access to Dragos offerings as integration progresses. Sonu Shankar will continue to lead the Phosphorus business as a General Manager within Dragos, through a structured, phased integration.

With the addition of Phosphorus, Dragos estimates its total addressable market opportunity at more than $50 billion.* The acquisition builds on Dragos’s October 2024 acquisition of Network Perception, which added expanded OT network visibility, segmentation validation, and compliance to the Dragos platform. Where Network Perception maps and secures the network architecture, Phosphorus secures the devices running on it.

Dragos provides the most comprehensive OT cybersecurity technology to deliver on its global mission: to safeguard civilization. Purpose-built for the extended operational technology environment, or xOT, Dragos technology delivers asset visibility, continuous monitoring, OT vulnerability management, segmentation validation, device protection, and real-time threat detection, powered by the industry’s most experienced OT threat intelligence and incident response team. Dragos serves critical sectors including energy, manufacturing, water, transportation, and data centers.
