SHERIDAN, WYOMING - April 14, 2026 - Nozomi Networks has been positioned as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyber-Physical System (CPS) Protection Platforms, in a report published March 3, 2026. The designation follows the company's fourth consecutive year ranking first on Gartner Peer Insights for Operational Technology Security, and reflects a platform footprint covering more than 102 million OT, IoT, and IT devices across more than 11,000 installations worldwide. For procurement teams and security architects evaluating industrial cybersecurity platforms, sustained Gartner recognition carries weight as an indicator of vendor stability, product maturity, and support continuity. Nozomi Networks also reports 100% customer retention across its installed base.
Business Impact
The Gartner Leader designation strengthens Nozomi Networks' procurement standing with enterprise buyers in regulated verticals where vendor evaluation cycles are rigorous and switching costs are significant. The platform's compliance alignment spans ISA/IEC 62443, NERC CIP, the newly active NERC CIP-015 standard, the EU's NIS2 Directive, SEC Cybersecurity Rules, and TSA Security Directives - covering a broad cross-section of the frameworks currently driving mandatory OT security investment in utilities, transport, and critical infrastructure. For organizations where compliance adherence is tied to operational licensing or capital access, independent analyst recognition of a security vendor can feed directly into third-party risk and procurement governance processes. The Forrester Wave™ for IoT Security Solutions (Q3 2025) separately cited Nozomi Networks, adding cross-analyst weight to the positioning.
Platform Architecture and Capabilities
The Nozomi Networks platform supports cloud, hybrid, and on-premise deployments through a modular architecture. The Vantage cloud manager provides centralized oversight, while Guardian sensors handle network-layer visibility, Guardian Air extends coverage to wireless environments, and Arc addresses endpoint and embedded device monitoring. Analytical capabilities include Vantage IQ for AI-driven security insights, Asset Intelligence, Threat Intelligence, and a Threat Intelligence Expansion Pack co-developed with Mandiant. The platform is designed to support continuous network monitoring, real-time asset inventory, vulnerability management, and automated threat detection and response - capabilities increasingly expected as a unified bundle rather than discrete point solutions in complex OT/IoT environments.
Sector Coverage and Partner Ecosystem
Nozomi Networks targets twelve industrial verticals: airports, electric utilities, healthcare, manufacturing, maritime, mining, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, rail, retail, smart cities, and water and wastewater, alongside federal, state, and local government segments. Its certified partner ecosystem includes ABB, Schneider Electric, Siemens, GE, Emerson, Hitachi, Mitsubishi Electric, Johnson Controls, Accenture, IBM Security, British Telecom, Atos, LS Electric, ABS Group, and Telefonica. Deployment options span on-premise, hybrid, and fully managed service paths, allowing industrial buyers to select delivery models without changing the underlying platform. Nozomi's own professional services organization provides solution design, deployment, tuning, health checks, and optimization services as an alternative to partner-led delivery for accounts that require direct vendor engagement.
