Nozomi Networks and Sophos have announced a partnership to integrate Nozomi Networks Vantage, the cloud-native, AI-enabled OT security platform, with Sophos Fusion, Sophos' AI-native cybersecurity defense system to enhance visibility and threat detection between IT and OT environments.

Quick Intel

  • Nozomi Networks integrates Vantage OT security with Sophos Fusion.

  • Brings OT telemetry, asset intelligence, and threat data into IT security investigations.

  • Enables security data correlation across OT, endpoint, network, cloud, and identity.

  • Improves SOC efficiency with fewer manual processes and less console switching.

  • First major third-party integration following Sophos Fusion launch.

  • Supports critical infrastructure and critical manufacturing sectors.

Unified IT and OT Security

Critical infrastructure is facing an aggressive threat landscape as both nation states and cybercriminals increasingly target OT and industrial environments, and many OT outages begin with a compromise of the IT environment. As organizations connect more industrial assets and adopt remote management capabilities, complete visibility across both IT and OT environments becomes increasingly important. This integration brings Nozomi's OT telemetry, asset intelligence, and threat data directly into Sophos Fusion, where it can be correlated with security data from across the customer's IT environment without needing to switch contexts, putting OT intelligence directly where investigations happen.

Key Benefits

The partnership delivers 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; and automated enrichment and response through SOAR workflows. The announcement represents one of the first major third-party technology integrations following the launch of Sophos Fusion, demonstrating Sophos' commitment to an open ecosystem that brings best-of-breed security technologies into a unified defense system.

"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."

"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, SVP 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."
