Nozomi Networks and Sophos are integrating Nozomi’s OT security intelligence into Sophos Fusion, giving security teams a unified view of threats across IT and operational technology environments.
The partnership connects OT telemetry, asset intelligence, and threat data from Nozomi Networks Vantage with Sophos’ broader cybersecurity platform to support faster detection, investigation, and response.
Nozomi Vantage brings OT intelligence into Sophos Fusion
Nozomi’s cloud-native, AI-enabled OT security platform, Nozomi Networks Vantage, will integrate with Sophos Fusion, Sophos’ AI-native cybersecurity defense system.
The integration brings Nozomi’s OT telemetry, asset intelligence, and threat data directly into Sophos Fusion. It can then be correlated with security data from across the customer’s IT environment without switching contexts, putting OT intelligence directly where investigations happen to help security teams operate faster.
“The intersection of IT and OT environments has long been misunderstood by the cybersecurity industry, leading to inefficiencies and potential danger for critical infrastructure,” said Matt Cowell, Vice President of Strategic Alliances at Nozomi Networks. “This partnership helps solve these problems by seamlessly integrating OT intelligence into IT security investigations so teams have the full picture when assessing their increasingly expanding attack surface.”
Integration targets faster IT and OT investigations
The benefits this partnership will yield include:
- Security data correlation across OT, endpoint, network, cloud, and identity sources.
- Improved investigation quality through richer context and correlation.
- SOC efficiency through fewer manual processes and less console switching.
- Automated enrichment and response through Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) workflows.
“Defenders need every resource they can to combat sophisticated threat actors. This partnership helps security teams easily assess OT and IT vulnerabilities in one place, allowing them to take action much faster,” said Chris Bell, SVP of Global Channel and Alliances at Sophos.
Bell adds: “Following the launch of Sophos Fusion, this is a testament to our commitment to bring best-of-breed security technologies into a single defense system for superior threat detection, investigation, and response.”
This announcement follows the launch of Sophos Fusion and demonstrates Sophos’ commitment to an open ecosystem that brings security technologies into a unified defense system.
Sophos Fusion expands its unified security architecture
Earlier this year, Sophos launched Sophos Fusion, an AI-native cybersecurity defense system that unites endpoint, network, email, cloud, identity, and security operations.
This unified defense system provides a single, open architecture where every control point, every service, every data source, and every analyst operates as one.
Sophos Fusion is the evolution of Sophos Central, leveraging agentic AI to connect and synchronize every control point across the whole environment.
The defense solutions provide endpoint protection, endpoint detection and response (EDR), extended detection and response (XDR), next-gen SIEM, identity threat detection and response (ITDR), managed detection and response (MDR), network security, email, cloud, and advisory services.
“As AI increases the speed, scale, and complexity of attacks, organizations need a modern, connected, intelligent, and adaptive defense,” said Joe Levy, CEO, Sophos. “Sophos Fusion is built as a defense system optimized for Human-AI workflows. We bring the most complete solution to a new category, a timely advancement demanded by the AI era.”
Sophos will expand Fusion with capabilities as it reaches general availability from August through October 2026, including:
- Sophos Next-Gen SIEM
- Sophos AI Defense
- Sophos CISO Advantage
- Sophos MDR
- Sophos XDR, powered by Secureworks
