XONA partners with Nozomi Networks to help operators of critical infrastructure accelerate digital transformation

XONA, the frictionless user access platform purpose-built for critical infrastructure, and Nozomi Networks, the pioneer in OT & IoT security, announces a partnership to help operators of critical infrastructure accelerate digital transformation with enhanced security and Zero Trust principles.

By integrating their technologies, XONA and Nozomi Networks give organisations advanced tools to remotely manage the security of operational technology and industrial control systems from anywhere, and on any device.

Quickly evolving environment

“Critical infrastructure across the world is under increasing threat and must be modernised to realise the benefits of digital transformation. Like many other industries, there are a myriad of reasons forcing industrial facilities to adopt new technology – from the cost and business efficiencies they bring, to meeting the needs of a highly-skilled workforce that’s often stretched too thin,” said Bill Moore, Founder and CEO at XONA.

Bill Moore adds, “Nozomi Networks has been leading the way in OT and IoT security for years, and bringing our technologies together will provide new dimensions of security and accessibility that our customers need to stay ahead in a quickly evolving environment.”

Securing remote access

Nozomi Networks solutions support more than 74 million devices in thousands of installations across energy, manufacturing, mining, transportation, utilities, building automation, smart cities and critical infrastructure.

Its best-in-class hardware, software and cloud-based OT, ICS and IoT security and visibility products automate the complex work of inventorying, visualising and monitoring industrial control networks through the innovative use of artificial intelligence.

With pre-integrated and tested solutions that reduce time to market and increase value, combining Nozomi Networks and XONA technology addresses the complex challenge of securing remote access in critical infrastructures. Comprehensive network visibility is automated, therefore enabling network administrators to balance priorities in a more efficient manner while ensuring the utmost protection with granular security.

Accessing critical infrastructure

A big part of helping organisations modernise their critical infrastructure is enabling user access"

“A big part of helping organisations modernise their critical infrastructure is enabling user access from anywhere, on any device. It’s essential for any business in the twenty-first century, and industrial facilities are no different,” said Chet Namboodri, Senior Vice President of Partner Alliances at Nozomi Networks.

“Adding user access to critical infrastructure is not easy – it’s usually too costly and complex, or vulnerable to attack. But XONA has figured out how to make user access frictionless and secure. Integrating our technologies together provides immense value to our joint customers.”

Multi-factor authentication

Technology agnostic and configured in minutes, XONA’s proprietary protocol isolation and Zero Trust architecture immediately eliminates common attack vectors, while giving authorised users seamless and secure control of operational technology from any location or device.

With integrated multi-factor authentication, user-to-asset access controls, user session analytics, and automatic video recording, XONA is the single, secure portal that connects the cyber-physical world and enables critical operations to happen from anywhere with total confidence and trust.
