Leading Operational Technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) security providers, Nozomi Networks and NetWitness have announced their team-up to deliver advanced cybersecurity solutions. The partnership aims to deliver improved security and increased visibility across OT and IT solutions. The integration of OT data within these combined solutions will enhance the effectiveness of security operations centres (SOC) and strengthen protection against sophisticated cyber threats.
Chief Product Officer for NetWitness, Tod Ewasko, highlights the ability of NetWitness in providing visibility into an organization’s data, regardless of type – be it logs, network, or endpoints, or where it resides – on-premises, in the cloud, or hybrid. The strategy involves incorporating OT and IoT data into their threat detection, investigation, and response functions, which ultimately provides a robust defense against emerging attack vectors.
Nozomi Networks, on the other hand, is recognized in the industry as a market leader in OT and IoT security. Supporting over 102 million devices across multiple installations in various sectors, the company is commended for its superior operational visibility and advanced threat detection. Its offerings, which are available for on-site deployments or cloud-based applications, employ Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automate the inventorying, visualization, and monitoring of industrial control networks.
The security solutions of NetWitness, meanwhile, provide an extensive and flexible platform capable of detecting intricate attacks. Known for protecting some of the world’s largest and most security-conscious organizations, their services offer consolidated visibility and contextualisation to effectively tackle complex threats.
As the interconnected flow of data between OT, IoT, and IT systems escalates, organizations need more robust strategies to manage and monitor their security defenses holistically. With this partnership, Nozomi Networks and NetWitness hope to extend access to broader-reaching solutions for detection and response across all IT, IoT networks, and OT/operational systems.
