Yokogawa will also resell standalone solutions from Nozomi Networks to customers who manage their security programs in-house.
“With Nozomi Networks, our customers have access to the industry’s best OT and IoT network monitoring and threat detection fully supported by Yokogawa’s Managed Services,” said Katsunori Iijima, the general manager of cybersecurity management at Yokogawa Electric. “We’re pleased to extend a very successful relationship we started several years ago in Europe.
