Addressing OT and IoT security challenges: Nozomi Networks confirms GISEC participation

Nozomi Networks has confirmed its participation at the forthcoming Gulf Information Security Expo & Conference (GISEC). GISEC 2022 will be hosted in the Dubai World Trade Centre on March 21-23, 2022.

At the show, the company will present its extensive array of leading OT and IoT security solutions and illustrate how its technologies can benefit and be leveraged in the visibility and security sectors.

“2021 was an unprecedented year for OT, IoT, and ICS security, with cyber-attacks making the headlines often such as Colonial Pipeline, JBS, Oldsmar Water, and Kaseya – and coming to a close with the Log4j vulnerability,” said Bachir Moussa, Regional Director MEAR at Nozomi Networks. “Ransomware and threats to OT/ICS environments remain at an all-time high, as do vulnerability disclosures. For operational networks and critical infrastructure, we’ve moved from ‘what if’ scenarios to ‘what we’ll do when.’”

Vantage, Nozomi Networks’ scalable, cloud-based SaaS solution that can eliminate blind spots and boost an organization’s cyber threat awareness, will be showcased at GISEC. Critical infrastructure defences are evolving substantially, thanks in part to advances in public-private collaboration focused on tightening defences, and Nozomi Networks has made a big contribution to this awareness with novel security solutions. Furthermore, government guidelines, regulations, and legislation, together with sector self-governance, will aid in the establishment and enforcement of a standard baseline for critical infrastructure cybersecurity.

“Both the public and private sector are stepping up to strengthen defenses and strong cybersecurity is becoming a top priority as OT and ICS systems embrace new technologies to stay ahead of the competition. We are at GISEC to share field and real use cases with companies facing similar challenges. We look forward to engaging with our customers and partners and discussing how they can effectively enhance the security of OT, IoT and ICS environments,” Bachir added.  

The Nozomi Networks team will be present at stand D32, Hall 6, throughout the three-day cybersecurity conference. Nozomi Networks’ senior executives and cybersecurity experts will be on hand at the show to interact with visitors and hold strategic discussions about OT cybersecurity and how organisations can develop and adapt their security frameworks to address the new reality of distributed architectures and IoT.
