Nozomi Networks, a supplier of operations technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) security technologies, has extended its partnership with Yokogawa Electric Corporation to address the unique OT and IoT cybersecurity requirements of process manufacturers. In this partnership, Yokogawa will offer Nozomi Networks’ OT and IoT visibility, network monitoring and threat detection technologies to customers worldwide as part of Yokogawa’s OpreX Managed Services.
Yokogawa explained that its OpreX services enable monitoring the status of underlying applications and systems, managing all risks in a single window, and the ability to turn data into proactive action for users.
Yokogawa will also resell standalone technologies from Nozomi Networks to customers who manage their security programs in-house.
Nozomi Networks’ technologies 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 said its MSSP (managed security service providers) Partner Program, launched in August 2021, is the industry’s first complete program for OT and IoT managed security services. The program equips MSSPs with Nozomi Networks’ OT and IoT cybersecurity expertise. According to Nozomi, this allows users to strengthen their OT and IoT security postures while balancing resource requirements.
