Nozomi Debuts Private OT/IoT Cybersecurity Assistant

Nozomi, a provider of OT, IoT, and CPS security, has recently announced Vantage IQ, a new solution that provides security teams and CISOs with tailored data and board-ready insights.

AI assistant brings intelligence and guidance to OT and IoT teams

Vantage IQ serves as an AI assistant for OT and IoT security teams, providing context-aware intelligence and guidance to every analyst, operator, and executive with scale, speed, and accuracy.

“The era of agentic, one-size-fits-all AI is over,” said Andrea Carcano, co-founder and CPO at Nozomi Networks. “With Vantage IQ, the world’s most advanced OT/IoT cybersecurity AI assistant is now on your team – empowering defenders to outpace adversaries and giving leaders the clarity they need to protect what matters most.”

Vantage IQ’s intelligence is built on an organization’s unique asset, communication, vulnerability, and threat data to ensure that every answer is relevant and secure.

Why security needs tailored agentic AI solutions

SOC analysts are equipped with hyper-tailored insights, with AI-guided triage, investigation, and response, while CISOs and leaders can gain on-demand, board-ready insights in plain language.

Among the key innovations of the solution are:

• Private, context-aware large language model (LLM): Vantage IQ is powered by a secure LLM learning from unique OT/IoT assets, vulnerabilities, threats, and risk data to deliver insights no generic AI model can match.
• Enhanced analyst capabilities: The solution can instantly triage, investigate, and respond to incidents with AI guidance specific to an organization’s environment.
• Executive-ready insights: CISOs and leaders can extract board-level intelligence through natural conversations with AI, without technical translation required.
• Unparalleled usability for analysts and operators: Vantage IQ provides actionable recommendations and remediation guidance delivered directly throughout the Vantage experience, on each main tab of the interface. This capability helps analysts evolve from data analysis to action.

“The labor crisis in cybersecurity is real – and growing,” said Carcano. “With skilled resources a scarce commodity, and the threat landscape accelerating, Vantage IQ is the force multiplier that turns good analysts into great defenders.”

Nozomi executive appointments show commitment to channel partners

Prior to the announcement of this new solution, Nozomi boosted its partner ecosystem commitment by naming two new executives in late 2025.

Matthew Cowell joined the organization as vice president of strategic alliances, while Tyson Gerhold was named vice president of global partner and channel sales.

Cowell’s duties will include expanding Nozomi’s partner network through new tech vendor and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) alliances.

Meanwhile, Gerhold will be charged with expanding and executing Nozomi’s channel strategy, leading channel sales operations, and expanding Nozomi’s global footprint.

“Having the right leaders in place to further strengthen our partner-first strategy is essential to addressing the tremendous market opportunity that exists for Nozomi Networks and our partners,” said Nozomi CEO Edgard Capdevielle. 

“Strong, strategic partnerships are critical to solving our customers’ OT, IoT, and CPS security needs. Both Matt and Tyson are well respected in the industry and bring deep experience to their roles. They are well-equipped to strengthen Nozomi’s position as the preeminent partner for securing OT and IoT networks,” Capdevielle continued.
