The agreement combines Nozomi Networks’ industry-leading OT and IoT security and visibility capabilities with Emerson’s DeltaV™ distributed control system (DCS), consulting and professional services. The agreement will look to deliver comprehensive solutions to strengthen cybersecurity and reduce the risk of downtime due to cyberattacks or process anomalies.

Alexandre Peixoto, Cybersecurity Business Director of Emerson’s Process Systems and Software business, said: “By teaming with Nozomi Networks, Emerson is enhancing our customers immediate access to OT network visibility, security and asset intelligence that integrates seamlessly with our DeltaV DCS and is fully supported by the Emerson Cybersecurity Services organisation.
