Nozomi will integrate its Nozomi Networks Vantage, Nozomi’s cloud-native, AI-enabled OT security platform, with Sophos Fusion, Sophos’ AI-native cybersecurity defense system to boost security between the IT and OT environments.
This move is the first major third-party technology integration following the launch of Sophos Fusion. That further shows Sophos’ commitment to an open ecosystem.
Additionally, as organizations connect more industrial assets and adopt remote management capabilities, complete visibility across IT and OT environments becomes increasingly important.
“The intersection of IT and OT environments has long been misunderstood by the cybersecurity industry, leading to inefficiencies and potential danger for critical infrastructure,” said Matt Cowell, vice president of strategic alliances at Nozomi Networks. “This partnership helps solve these problems by seamlessly integrating OT intelligence into IT security investigations so teams have the full picture when assessing their increasingly expanding attack surface.”
This integration brings Nozomi’s OT telemetry, asset intelligence, and threat data directly into Sophos Fusion. Furthermore, this way data can end up correlated from across the user’s IT environment without needing to switch contexts. Moreover, it puts OT intelligence directly where investigations happen to help work faster and make better decisions.
Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Security data correlation across OT, endpoint, network, cloud, and identity sources
- Improved investigation quality through richer context and correlation
- Greater SOC efficiency through fewer manual processes and less console switching
- Automated enrichment and response through Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) workflows
“Defenders need every resource they can to combat sophisticated threat actors. This partnership helps security teams easily assess OT and IT vulnerabilities in one place, allowing them to take action much faster,” said Chris Bell, senior vice president of global channel and alliances at Sophos. “Following the launch of Sophos Fusion, this is a testament to our commitment to bring best-of-breed security technologies into a single defense system for superior threat detection, investigation, and response.”
