In a significant move to enhance cybersecurity for critical infrastructure in Europe, Nozomi Networks, a recognized leader in Operational Technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) security, has joined forces with Advens, a prominent cybersecurity provider. This partnership is designed to address the rising demand for managed security services, particularly in France, where there is an increasing need for specialized cybersecurity solutions tailored to the unique requirements of industrial environments.
Advens, with its Managed Security Operations Center (SOC), will leverage Nozomi Networks' advanced ANSSI-certified solutions for OT and IoT visibility, network monitoring, threat detection, and risk management. This collaboration will provide their clients with a robust cybersecurity posture across various sectors, including healthcare, public services, and notably, the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics. As both organizations continue to develop their collective expertise, they will offer comprehensive security solutions that meet the growing complexity of cyber threats faced by critical infrastructure.
"Our recent projects have demonstrated the need for high-quality cybersecurity measures, especially with the critical infrastructure supporting large events like the Olympics. By combining Nozomi's advanced solutions and Advens' managed services, we can prepare our clients for potential cyber threats effectively," said Stéphane Potier, Head of OT and IoT Cyber Security at Advens.
In preparation for the Paris 2024 Olympics, Nozomi Networks and Advens collaborated closely to design, implement, and manage a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. They achieved successful safeguards for critical infrastructure elements such as water systems, event venues, and essential transportation systems. Engaging their cybersecurity expertise, they ensured that the Olympics could proceed without disruption from cyber-related attacks. Potier noted that such measures were crucial, as the Nozomi platform significantly contributed to thwarting at least three serious cyberattacks aimed at the event.
Cade Stephens, Nozomi Networks' Head of Partner Sales, remarked on the partnership's commitment to excellence, emphasizing the collective aim of both companies to enhance security measures for critical infrastructures that support everyday life. Through this collaboration, clients can expect not only improved security solutions but also a dedicated team of experts committed to delivering high-value services.
Nozomi Networks stands out for its superior capabilities in operational visibility and threat detection, securing more than 115 million devices across various industries, including energy and transportation. Their MSSP Partner Program launched in 2021 aims to empower managed service providers with the tools they need to support customers in strengthening their OT and IoT security.
As organizations increasingly adopt digital solutions, the threat landscape continues to evolve, necessitating advanced security measures that can adapt to new challenges. Advens remains dedicated to continuous investment in secure offerings and partnerships necessary to help its clients maintain their quality and efficiency. As the demand for reliable cybersecurity measures grows, Nozomi Networks and Advens are positioned to lead the charge in protecting the critical infrastructures that society depends on daily.
