We believe this recognition underlines the strength of our AI-powered CPS protection platform. Developed with over a decade of industry-trusted innovations, Nozomi’s CPS protection platform currently defends over 115,000,000 industrial and IoT assets across more than 12,000 installations around the world. The comprehensive platform delivers:
- Unparalleled asset discovery and inventory across wired, wireless, endpoint and ICS endpoint attack surfaces
- Sophisticated, actionable vulnerability management
- Fast and accurate anomaly and threat detection and management
- A comprehensive view of CPS cyber risk and risk mitigation strategies from the asset to the enterprise
- AI-powered prioritizations and remediation recommendations
The platform delivers operational resilience, risk management, and regulatory compliance outcomes to customers across a wide array of OT and IoT verticals and use cases.
A Seminal Moment for the Market: CPS Is Now Mainstream!
Gartner defines the CPS protection platforms market as products and services that use knowledge of industrial protocols, operational/production network packets or traffic metadata, and physical process asset behavior to discover, categorize, map and protect CPS in production or mission-critical environments outside of enterprise IT environments.
A Magic Quadrant for this space comes at a much-needed time, given the perfect storm of increased and more sophisticated cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, and the continued digital transformation of critical infrastructure.
We feel this new Magic Quadrant is a watershed moment signaling the convergence of mounting need, scale and market and vendor maturity.
More Than a Decade of OT, IoT and CPS Security Innovation
As a pioneer in OT, IoT and CPS cybersecurity, for more than a decade Nozomi Networks has pushed boundaries to develop better cybersecurity for industrial and critical infrastructure. In 2013 we brought the first AI-powered ICS visibility and cybersecurity solution to market with the launch of our Guardian network sensors. Since, then we’ve extended the Nozomi Networks Platform to support a much broader environment of OT, IoT and cyber-physical systems with AI-powered security and operations management from the endpoint to the air.
Nozomi’s ability to excel in innovation, combined with our deep expertise in CPS security has changed the way the industry thinks about securing the cyber and physical worlds of OT and ICS. Nozomi Networks was the first to:
- Introduce artificial intelligence (AI) in threat detection
- Offer a unified platform, combining multiple single purpose security functions
- Integrate granular active scanning into environments that were passive only
- Deliver a cloud-based security solution to support greater flexibility and scale
- Offer an endpoint security solution for OT
- Innovate an AI-powered cybersecurity analysis and response engine for OT designed to help priorities and address critical risks and vulnerabilities
- Launch a wireless sensor – enabling risk management from the endpoint to the air
- Develop a security sensor embedded in industrial control systems that delivers security from Purdue Level 3 down to Level 0
- Introduce a risk scoring solution that incorporates industry comparisons and AI-assisted recommendation for remediation
An A-List Ecosystem of Partners
In addition to our proven track record of innovation, Nozomi’s partner ecosystem has been a critical part of our success. While the CPS Protection Platform market has experienced some consolidation over the past few years, it’s also become increasingly clear that a large majority of customers seeking out CPS security solutions operate with highly heterogeneous environments that require OEM-agnostic security solutions. Because of this, not only do we partner with some of the largest OEMs in the word, but many of them including Johnson Controls, Mitsubishi Electric and Schneider Electric are Nozomi investors.
Nozomi is backed by the industry’s most advanced global ecosystem of more than 500 global systems integrations, Big 4 consultancies, value-added resellers, MSSPs and distributors. Nozomi Networks not only partners with Google to make Mandiant threat intelligence available to its customers but also partners with an elite group of incident responders (including Accenture, IBM Security and Mandiant) to give customers access to the strongest possible cybersecurity defense tools, expert-trained incident response teams, and cutting-edge threat intelligence curated specifically for CPS environments.
Nozomi is partnered with:
- 5 of the world’s largest IT cybersecurity companies
- 7 of the world’s 10 largest industrial automation companies
- 5 of the world’s top 20 consulting companies and
- 10 major OEM resellers
Additionally, we’ve trained and certified more than 2,000 Nozomi Networks Engineers (NNCEs) around the world.
Defending the World’s Critical Infrastructure
At the end of last year Nozomi was pleased to share some insights on the work we did to help secure the 2024 Paris Olympics. It’s the kind of work we do for critical infrastructure every day, but that we seldom can talk about publicly due to the criticality of the organizations we secure.
Nozomi Networks customers include:
- 9 of the world’s top 20 oil & gas organizations
- 7 of the world’s top 10 pharmaceutical companies
- 6 of the world’s top 10 mining operations
- 5 of the world’s top 10 utilities
- More than 51 government organizations
And we:
- Protect more than 115 million OT, IoT, IT and wireless devices
- Support 12,000+ installations spanning six contents
- Maintain a 96% customer retention rate
- Consistently receive monthly NPS® scores for customer satisfaction in the 90s
- Have the highest number of 5-s Star ratings in Gartner Peer Insights™ Reviews for CPS Protection Platform and OT Security
