Deep knowledge of the complexities of ICS networks, continuous innovation and expertise in artificial intelligence have made Nozomi Networks the leader in real-time cybersecurity and visibility for industrial control networks.

“Today’s CISOs are expected to manage risk for their entire organization – from enterprise IT systems to OT environments. With IT and OT systems becoming more connected, and cyberattacks on industry rising, managing risk means bringing IT and OT teams together and shifting focus to industrial cybersecurity,” said Obbe Knoop, Nozomi Networks Vice President, Worldwide Sales. “We are honored to be recognized by CRN for technology that is helping shape a more secure future for converging IT/OT environments within the industrial sectors.”
