Nozomi Networks extends partnership with Yokogawa

Nozomi Networks has announced it has extended its partnership with Yokogawa Electric to address global demand for managed security services and solutions designed to holistically satisfy the unique OT and IoT cybersecurity requirements of process manufacturers. Yokogawa will offer Nozomi Networks’ solutions for OT and IoT visibility, network monitoring and threat detection to its customers worldwide as part of Yokogawa’s OpreX Managed Services. 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, General Manager of Cybersecurity Management at Yokogawa Electric. “We’re pleased to extend a very successful relationship we started several years ago in Europe. Partnered with Nozomi, we are able to rapidly deliver deep OT and IoT cybersecurity expertise, using battle-tested solutions that our customers are demanding.”

“We are excited to strengthen our relationship with Yokogawa to help more organisations meet their growing need for critical OT and IoT cybersecurity solutions,” said Chet Namboodri, Nozomi Networks Senior Vice President of Global Partner Sales and Development. “With an established track record of collaboration in the process industries sector, we firmly believe this partnership accelerates our joint mission to help protect process automation assets and networks around the world from compromise.”

As industrial organisations embrace an increasingly connected world, they must also prepare to defend against a growing number of digital threats and vulnerabilities. Manufacturers must be vigilant and able to quickly detect and respond to cybersecurity threats. Yokogawa said it is continuously investing in secure products, solutions, programs, organisation, services and managed services as part of its commitment to quality, safety, security, reliability and sustainability, with highly competent and experienced resources worldwide.
