Nozomi certified product integration extends OT/ICS environment visibility, improves user access, operational efficiencies, and broadens real-time anomaly and threat detection.
TAMPA, FL – February 10, 2025 – Xona Systems, a leading provider of secure access management solutions for critical infrastructure, today announced the integration of the Xona Platform with the Nozomi Networks Arc Endpoint Sensor, bringing together best-in-class secure access management with visibility, threat detection, and response for critical infrastructure in utilities, power generation, and manufacturing.
The new integration builds upon Xona’s existing integrations with the Nozomi Networks Platform by embedding the Nozomi Networks Arc Endpoint Sensor directly on the Xona Gateway (CSG). By running on the Gateway, the Arc Sensor can discover critical assets in real time to streamline the onboarding of new assets for management by the Xona Platform while allowing customers to efficiently scale and accelerate Nozomi Networks deployments to detect, monitor, and manage cyber physical system risks.
As critical infrastructure industries face increasing threats and tighter regulatory compliance mandates, the seamless integration of security toolsets simplifies daily tasks and improves overall protections for OT managers, CISOs, and security operations teams.
“Secure access and threat detection are foundational critical infrastructure steps that companies should implement to address major operational and business risks,” said Rik Turner, Senior Principal Analyst at Omdia. “Unfortunately, too many still rely on legacy technologies such as VPNs and jump boxes, leaving OT and ICS environments with visibility gaps, unprotected critical systems, and insecure user endpoints connecting directly to critical systems. The Nozomi Networks and Xona platforms address these challenges, so their integration should give industrial enterprises an additional reason to consider both vendors’ products.”
Key Highlights:
The integration of the Xona Platform with the Nozomi Platform:
- Strengthens and extends cybersecurity to the access point for all local and remote user endpoints down to the field assets they manage to analyze and deter process level threats and malicious user activity without impacting current resources or disrupting mission-critical networks.
- Adds AI-based, real-time monitoring of assets and network traffic for anomaly detection and threat identification to all connected local and remote user access – speeding responses to security incidents with more robust detection of known and unknown vulnerabilities.
- Improves the safety, security, and reliability of automation processes that protect critical infrastructure and signals a next-generation approach for secure access management for critical infrastructure.
- Simplifies and improves operational efficiencies and adds automation around discovering and configuring asset connectivity for administrative users that support the reliability and cyber resilience of critical infrastructure.
- Delivers greater operational resilience and uptime, increased operational efficiency, reduced cyber risk, and better compliance for critical infrastructure owners.
“The synergies achieved by integrating the Xona Platform with the Nozomi Platform can transform how CISOs and their teams manage and protect access and cybersecurity for critical infrastructure,” said Phillip Page, Director of Business Development and Alliances at Nozomi Networks. “Secure access and network visibility, threat detection, and response are essential for critical infrastructure protection. This work tightly joins these elements together, saving critical infrastructure owners and operators time and effort.”
“Partnering with industry leading solutions that provide robust OT security and simplify deployment and access to critical assets is a priority in Xona’s mission to provide secure access to critical infrastructure customers,” said Bill Cantrell, COO/CPO at Xona. “Combining Xona’s secure access platform with Nozomi Networks’ visualization and intrusion-detection technologies, allows us both to contribute to a safer, more secure and more sustainable society.”
In a recent DeNexus report, 88% of analyzed industrial sites identified remote services as their most significant cybersecurity risk. Thus, the global remote access solution market is seeing significant growth, driven by the increasing need for secure connectivity in critical infrastructure industries. In 2023, Coherent Market Insights stated the market was valued at approximately $20.91 billion and is projected to reach $49.18 billion by 2030, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13% during this period.
