Nozomi Networks Inc. and NetWitness have announced they have partnered to deliver unified security and visibility across operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) formulas. Integrating OT data improves the effectiveness of the security operations centre (SOC), where NetWitness protects organisations against sophisticated cyber threats.
“A key differentiator for NetWitness is its radical visibility into an organisation’s data, no matter what type – logs, network, or endpoints — or where it resides – on-premises, in the cloud, or hybrid,” said Tod Ewasko,a chief product officer for NetWitness. “Integrating critical OT and IoT data into the threat detection, investigation, and response functions increases the effectiveness of the SOC and protects an increasingly important avenue for attacks.”
Nozomi Networks formulas support more than 102 million devices in thousands of installations across energy, manufacturing, mining, transportation, utilities, building automation, smart cities and critical infrastructure. Nozomi Networks products are deployable onsite and, in the cloud, and span IT, OT and IoT to automate the hard work of inventorying, visualising and monitoring industrial control networks through the innovative use of artificial intelligence. Use cases stretch beyond cybersecurity, and include trouble shooting, asset management and predictive maintenance.
NetWitness helps protect of the biggest organisations worldwide, providing the comprehensive, flexible, unified threat detection, investigation and response platform. NetWitness delivers visibility, contextualisation and automated, actionable insights that empower security teams to tackle any attacks.
“The free flow of connections and data between OT, IoT and IT is driving organisations to look for better ways to holistically monitor and manage their security defences across the entire attack surface,” said Chet Namboodri, a senior vice president of alliances and channel sales at Nozomi Networks. “We’re excited to partner with NetWitness to extend their customers’ access to a broader-reaching solutions for detection and response across their IT, IoT networks and OT/operational systems.”
