Nozomi Networks delivers the first hardware and software as a service solution

Nozomi Networks, Inc., a provider of OT and IoT security, has once again revolutionized the adoption of industrial and ICS cybersecurity solutions. With the introduction of OnePass, the industry’s first completely integrated hardware and software as a service model for OT and IoT security, customers can buy and deploy solutions that meet their needs today while easily evolving to meet changing needs tomorrow.

Nozomi OnePass combines all Nozomi Networks solutions, including hardware and software, into a single subscription (including add-on subscriptions).

“Visibility is essential for defending facilities against today’s challenging cyber environment. Security teams can’t wait for drawn out capex evaluations to gain the insight they need to defend their operations,” said Sid Snitkin, ARC Advisory Group Vice President of Cybersecurity Advisory Services. “ARC applauds Nozomi Networks for offering OnePass as a means to simplify investment decisions and accelerate protection of critical infrastructure.”

“The ‘as a services model’ is the platform consumption model of the future for many industries, including OT,” said Nozomi Networks Co-founder and CPO Andrea Carcano. “By combining the industry’s first SaaS-based OT and IoT security solution with the industry’s first HWaaS offering, OnePass gives customers a flexible option to license, deploy and scale Nozomi Networks solutions over time.” 

• OnePass helps efficiently accelerate digital transformation projects and fast tracks security service implementations. It provides scalability and speeds time to value for delivering OT/IOT security at scale.

• OnePass gives you the flexibility to shift costs from OT/IoT capital expenditure (capex) investment to a more-consistent pay-as-you-go operating expenditure (opex) funding mechanism. This normalizes OT/IoT security spend over time, making budgeting more predictable while avoiding the accrual of technical debt.

• OnePass’s full-service delivery model reduces the demand on organizations to develop or hire OT-centric cybersecurity personnel before deploying a security solution. This shift away from internal skill sets affords decision makers the opportunity to rethink workforce plans and create paths for upskilling staff wherever feasible.

OnePass removes the need for hardware maintenance, asset management, and replacement costs by taking the planning and risk out of the design process. Customers receive a hardware allocation at the time of quote to cover the scale and complexity of their environment, which can later be used to order specific hardware appliances as deployment requirements become clearer.

A key component of OnePass is a new Hardware as a Service delivery model for on-premises Guardian appliances. It complements VantageTM, Nozomi Networks’ existing Software as a Service model for cloud-based OT and IoT security monitoring and control. Both can be combined with optional asset and threat intelligence subscriptions.

Nozomi OnePass is an optional purchasing model available to both existing and new Nozomi Networks customers. It is now available from Nozomi Networks and our extensive global channel partner network.
