Partnership provides enhanced visibility of network assets
and traffic, and threat detection for utility and industrial
control systems
SAN
FRANCISCO, Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nozomi
Networks, Inc., the global leader in OT & IoT security and
Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL), the global leader in
electric power system protection and control, have formalized their
partnership by establishing a reseller agreement and certification
of expertise for Nozomi Networks' software.
Customers worldwide can now easily deploy the leading OT &
IoT continuous monitoring solution to their industrial networks
leveraging the experience and support of SEL Cyber Services.
"Customers depend on SEL to deliver secure solutions and Nozomi
Networks' AI-powered platform helps us achieve this," said
Will Edwards, Head of Cyber Services
at SEL. "By giving customers an easy option to integrate the Nozomi
Networks platform into SEL Software-Defined Networks, customers
have access to advanced solutions designed to strengthen the
reliability and availability of their services and help them more
easily address a rising sea of regulatory and compliance
requirements."
Teaming to Address Regulatory Compliance
Critical
infrastructure industries are increasingly regulated to ensure the
services they deliver are always available for society. Because of
this, customers turn to SEL Cyber Services for help understanding
security requirements such as NERC CIP, IEC 62443, NIST Risk
Management Framework, and the SOCI Act. The maturation of these
standards and frameworks has further expanded the need for internal
network security monitoring to ensure the cybersecurity of local
area networks. Nozomi Networks solutions address these critical
requirements by making it easy to monitor networks and meet
compliance reporting rules.
A Powerhouse Solution for High Availability & Risk
Management
Society depends on the 100 percent uptime of power utility
infrastructure. Many of the cyber and physical control systems that
support them now use Ethernet networks for safety and reliability
functions. Digital secondary systems and arc-flash signals are
examples of critical network traffic that require performance
assurance and strong cybersecurity. SEL Cyber Services helps
critical infrastructure customers worldwide understand their
operational risks and implement scalable networking and
cybersecurity solutions that were developed to meet their unique
and rigorous requirements.
SEL OT-Software-Defined Networks (SDN) is purpose-built for
harsh environments where unauthorized devices and traffic should be
denied by default. Integrating a centralized application like
Nozomi Networks Vantage cloud-hosted security platform gives
customers full control over traffic flows, eliminates the need for
traffic taps or aggregators and enables more efficient data
aggregation.
"For more than four decades, SEL has been making electric power
safer, more reliable, and more economical worldwide," said
Chet Namboodri, Nozomi Networks
Senior Vice President of Global Business Development. "We share
SEL's mission and are pleased to combine our strengths to ensure
that future generations have the means to pursue an increasingly
higher quality of life."
