The partnership between Nozomi Networks and Yokogawa Electric Corporation is becoming a cyber-defense benchmark in operational technology (OT) and the Internet of Things (IoT). As industrial sectors become more connected, the vulnerabilities to cyber threats escalate. This alliance is a strategic response to such vulnerabilities.
Nozomi Networks contributes its specialized skills in network visibility and threat detection, designed for the nuances of process manufacturing environments. Their expertise complements Yokogawa’s industrial automation and control systems, ensuring an advanced cybersecurity posture for critical infrastructure.
Together, their combined strengths offer a forward-thinking solution to protect increasingly interconnected industrial systems. The synergy between Nozomi’s cutting-edge cybersecurity technology and Yokogawa’s deep industrial knowledge equips this alliance to combat the evolving landscape of cyber threats in the OT and IoT spheres.
Pioneering Managed Security Services
Under the umbrella of Yokogawa’s OpreX Managed Services, the alliance is expected to deliver managed security services that are intricately tailored to process manufacturers. These services aim to provide a seamless blend of Yokogawa’s industrial automation expertise with Nozomi’s state-of-the-art cybersecurity technologies. The goal is to offer not just protection, but also a thorough understanding of network behavior and the threat landscape, enabling manufacturers to stay ahead of potential security incidents. By placing an emphasis on proactive monitoring and rapid response, they hope to preempt disruptions and ensure the continuity of critical industrial processes.
Expanding Cybersecurity Access
In a bid to fortify cyberspace across sectors, Yokogawa partners with Nozomi Networks, expanding access to top-tier security tech. Yokogawa will now offer Nozomi’s advanced solutions for clients who maintain their security in-house, catering to those who may bypass managed services but still prioritize robust cyber defense strategies. This move bolsters cyber protection for critical OT and IoT networks, pivotal to global industrial infrastructure.
The Nozomi-Yokogawa alliance aims to elevate cybersecurity for OT and IoT systems worldwide, merging Nozomi’s innovative cybersecurity prowess with Yokogawa’s industry acumen. Together, they’re taking a proactive front to shield industries against cyber threats, ensuring a safer operational and informational tech environment. Their combined efforts set new standards for cybersecurity, demonstrating a commitment to protecting the core of industrial processes.
