As the Nozomi Networks team visits major critical infrastructure and energy organizations around the world the level of concern about the reliability and cyber security of industrial systems has never been higher.
Executives are following studies like this year’s World Economic Forum’s Global Risk Report which identifies cyberattacks on critical infrastructure and strategic industrial assets as one of the top five global risks. Similarly, a recent Marsh survey found three-quarters of energy executives worry about cyberattacks interrupting their business operations and are preparing to increase their investments in cyber risk management.
Our solution is helping many companies address OT risk and today we are proud to announce a new release of our product suite. Version 18.0 delivers numerous advancements to meet high demand from critical infrastructure organizations for better visibility and cyber security. Among its innovations are an industry-first high availability Central Management Console (HA CMC) and more than 100 new detection checks that provide the deep network monitoring needed to ensure operational resiliency.
In parallel with the new release, we have expanded our partner network and opened new field offices to better support our growing global customer base.
High Availability OT Risk Monitoring for Critical Infrastructure
This 4th generation release further extends our leadership position in industrial control system (ICS) cyber security by offering resilient visibility and monitoring for geo-distributed IT/OT networks. The latest SCADAguardian (now Guardian) and CMC editions are HA, enterprise scalable and more integrated with IT/OT solutions than ever before.
Backed by proven AI-powered technology, the Nozomi Networks HA CMC supports large organizations seeking continuous operations or disaster recovery (DR) architectures. It is particularly applicable to mission critical environments such as power, oil and gas and city/transportation systems.
Continuous Innovation in Hybrid ICS Threat Detection
In today’s escalating cyber threat environment, cyber risks and vulnerabilities need to be automatically evaluated and analyzed to enable rapid and informed remediation. Relying on air-gapped network segmentation and firewalls for cyber security is no longer a viable strategy on its own. The Nozomi Networks v18 release not only extends our threat and vulnerability detection capabilities – it also delivers the ability to visualize and present them in a way that is optimized for security and operations teams.
Version 18 advances our innovative multi-vector hybrid ICS threat detection, which simultaneously uses behavior-based anomaly detection, system queries and rules-based analysis, to deliver:
- An unprecedented level of context-rich network and cyber security monitoring
- Over 100 new detection checks
- New and improved visualization mechanisms that deliver even more actionable insights
New Partners Deliver Rich IT/OT Infrastructure Integrations
We don’t want to be just another ‘tool’ in an expanding cyber security toolbox. That’s why we continue to expand our technology partner ecosystem. By integrating with leading firewalls, SIEMS, and other enterprise security solutions, companies can now have one central view of their cyber risks, and the information needed to rapidly address them.
We’re excited to add integrations with Gravwell and BlackRidge to our global technology partner ecosytem. Thanks to these leaders in IT solutions and enterprise cyber security, customers can immediately extend the utility of SCADAguardian’s context-rich threat detection and operational intelligence.
“Nozomi Networks provides top tier data and their responsiveness and dedication toward innovation in this space are what make them an ideal partner. Together, we’re enabling capabilities that OT and IT have never had before, and that’s very exciting.”
- COREY THUEN CEO and Founder, Gravwell
New Offices Provide OT Cyber Security Expertise to Global Customers
We are expanding our global presence to include new offices in Australia, Canada, Germany, UAE and the United Kingdom. These regional sales and engineering teams immediately enable Nozomi Networks to address the high demand for superior IT/OT cyber resiliency around the world.
